Have Great Friends and you will be Great

Have you ever been prompted to leave a life of too much caution? A life of modesty, being too careful to share your emotions, failures, success with close confidants for fear of being judged or your flaws gossiped to every Tom, Dick and Harry?
Have you ever felt like a teething sense of solitude defines your relations with people? You value friends no more because your subconscious mind tells you, that sharing your highs and lows with them will have half of them laugh at you, a quarter of them gossip at you, an eighth listen to you but provide no solution, while a third wonder why you always find self in self-inflicted problems.
Friends are a defining constant in the life of every person. It’s hard to sail through life, fighting battles in the hard knocks of life alone. Having a sure partner who understands the nature and depth of your battles is thus an invaluable move towards actualizing one’s dreams and ambitions.
Life can be hard. Yes it is hard. Robert Schuller says tough times never last but tough people do. Are you tough enough to outlive your circumstances and pursue your life’s goals with vigour? Are your thoughts wired strong enough to strain the prevailing wind of toxic mindset that your friends might inject into your subconscious mind?
Here this, when two people walk together, something happens unconsciously; you either subscribe to their ideals or they subscribe to yours. If you walk around strongly motivated and positive souls, you’ll unconsciously exude a motivated and a positive mindset. If you troll around friends suffering low self-esteem, always moaning and groaning of how life is unfair to them, how the world today has leveled against them a myriad of impediments towards achieving their dream, you risk a chance of being like them.
We share a lot together in friendship but our dreams, ambitions and accomplishments are unique to an individual. Soar with a people devoted to their dreams like their lives depend on it. However weak or less endowed you are, this company is for keeps. Why? They suddenly make you have the feeling that you can overcome your inferiority, rise above your challenges and realize a fulfilling life. It’s in the mind. Make it your resolve to imagine a life better and more fulfilling than it is now. Get around you a battery of some nourishing friends. Let me share with you typical friendship etiquette that you should uphold going forward.
Nourishing friends; these are a queer lot of comrades who bring the best out of you. They’re consistently looking into how best to improve their lives and yours as well. They get uncomfortable when you stagnate at any point in your life. They constantly engage you in valuable onward progress, emotionally, spiritually and even physically.
They believe that your success is their responsibility. They look at life as an opportunity of service to mankind. You need this lot to make impact in the life you yearn for, and the change you want to represent.
Remember that we live in a world with immense opportunity for transformation. Choose today to be the custodian of change this world yearns for. If your forte is to succeed, whatever obstacles come your way, such friendships are the pillars you need to erect.
Toxic friends get jealous when they see you soaring the heights, laugh when they see your world crumble down, talk behind you of the flaws you exude and always tell what you can do and what you cannot do. When you dream that huge something you want the world to see and feel, they remind you of your background, they ascertain your destiny to your dark past. They give you statistics to dampen your spirit, to avert your focus into something mediocre.
Chose to rip off these kind of destructors in your life for you deserve a more resourceful and impactful life. If something MUST happen in your life different and more rewarding in your life than it is now, it’s up to you to decide.
Your destiny is calling. Life is more rewarding if you serve your dreams with utmost perfection, with an intention to realize goals beyond your limited global perspective.
Sandwich your dream between highly self-driven and motivated souls, to push you the next level of your career change.
As you exalt self to accomplishing your dreams, think of the manipulation your subconscious mind is leveraging on your dreams. Our subconscious thinking determines our level of engagement in all our endeavors.
Working towards your dreams demands sacrifice. Involves jumping off your comfort zone to pursue a feeling you only hope for. Don’t wait for the appropriate conditions. Let the conditions find you. Plan to execute your vision plan. Read positive literature, read success stories of those giants who’ve gone ahead of you. Think every second on what extra in the ordinary you can put in to realize extraordinary results in your dreams
The world is waiting for you to succeed. To tell your story in the most creative way to inspire generations to come. The world will remember us for the legacy we impose through our dreams. As always successful people look like you. Go and conquer the world.
