I have often been asked, “Who are your people? Whom do you surround yourself with?”
I always answer the same. I surround myself with people that push me to do better. No drama or negativity. Just higher goals and higher motivation. I look for positive thinkers and positive energy. No jealousy or hate. Simply bringing out the absolute best in each other.
I actually try not to read or listen too much of the negative news in the world, although I need to be aware of it. I try to find the good that is occurring in the world and share that with the people I encounter. I especially am concerned about raising the next generation in a way that each of them can make a difference in the world. I believe we can empower our youth to improve the state of affairs in their world.
I try to surround myself with people who also want to learn and grow daily. So should you.
