Check Your Circle

I’m a firm believer in "you are who you hang out with" and "birds of a feather flock together".

Do you wonder why you’re not reaching your goals?

Do you you wonder why you’re not being as successful as you thought you would?

Check the circle around you.

Check who you surround yourself with.

I understand that there comes a time where you need to be self motivated.

But I also believe that your experiences and testimony is not just for you. Your story can emote joy and inspire hope into people.

Your purpose is attached to other people and if other people are not living out their purpose how on earth are they going to motivate you to live out yours?

Don’t let the inconsistencies of other peoples work ethic discourage yours.

Surround yourself with people who are going to challenge you, people that provoke thought, and people that inspire change. Surround yourself with people where if you get to hanging out with them long enough, they will mess around and have you brainwashed into believing in yourself and knowing that you can do anything. But if you’re surrounding yourself with people who have no desire to improve or are too lazy to put in the work ethic to reach their goals, you are self sabotaging yourself.

You are a direct reflection of your inner circle.

You were made for such a time as this. Again, there are people attached to your purpose and their are people that will help carry you to your destiny. Cut all ties with people who do nothing but bring you down.Don’t force yourself in a circle to try to fit in.

Stop trying to uphold a reputation for those who you weren't even designed to please.

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

You were made to be iron, so stop surrounding yourself with a bunch of wood. All you’re doing is creating damaged goods.

Move forward in your dreams. I believe you can do it. But, faith without works is dead. Don’t get complacent do what you have to do. I guarantee you will start seeing the growth you never thought you would.

If your circle isn’t breathing life into you, they are killing you. So, check your circle.
