Succeding alone in life is a very heavy and burdensom task,everybody needs somebody but not just anybody. Your inner circle are those you share your dreams,aspirations, ideas and time with and to a large extent they can either make Great or counterfiet and destroy your potentials. This is why its essential that while creating or selecting friends certain things have to be considered, and I”ll b sharing 5 of those things with
you.
1. Choose whom you hang around with – You have different
friends for different parts of your life. If you have moved into a
phase of life where you’re determined to set your own course,
find people who can help you visualize what that future can
look like. Like it or not, you become similar to the friends you
hang out with. Your associations have a lot to do with where
you’re at in every area of your life. Your friends are going to
influence your behavior, so why not pick ones who will be a
positive influence?
2. Establish a benchmark test for choosing friends – Ask
yourself whether spending time with this person will lift you up
or drag you down? Will spending time with this person help you
to become your best self? Will you be happier after spending
time with this person? Will this person help you achieve your
most important goals? If not, find friends who will.
3. List five people who can help you achieve your dreams and
goals – Make a list of five people whom you trust to listen to
you attentively and tell them about your dreams and goals.
Sharing details of our life creates trust, and if you don’t feel you
can trust a person with the most vulnerable part of yourself—
your dream—find someone else for a friend.
4. Create your own Advisory Board – Identify a group of friends
who can help nourish the best in you. Meet with them regularly.
Advisory Boards are made up of people who will lift you up,
challenge, inspire, and hold you accountable.
5. Find a mentor – Have you ever talked with
someone who thought you could accomplish more than you
thought you could? Who gave you permission to follow your
dreams? Who saw more in you than you saw in yourself? This is
exactly the kind of person who would make a great mentor and
encourage you to move toward your goals.
Surround yourdelf with friends who see you potentail and
appreciate you for who you are
