Step 33; Surround yourself with talented and successful people

Keep your friends and change your peers. It is important to spend more time with the right people. Before my bankruptcy, I used to spend a lot of time pubbing and clubbing with the wrong people. I wasted a lot of time and money there, probably that's one of the reasons why I went bankrupt.

After I started attending personal development seminars, I started to spend more time with people who are interested in their personal development. This group of people are usually positive and forward looking. With their positive energy and influence, I become like them eventually. "Gabbage in, gabbage out" "Success is a habit, so is failure" The reason why I am telling you these is because it is important to continuously be 'brainwash' by positive energy, environment and people. By sharing with you, I am also reminding myself.

Unfortunately we are living in a world with so many negative influence, especially the news. Do you agree with me that most of the news you get are bad news? I make it a point not to buy the newspaper, will only flip thru' when I come across one. I spend less than 2 hours a month watching TV. So stop watching TV and spend more time with positive people. And don't forget to stay away from negative people, if your close friends or relatives are negative, spend less time with them.
