If you want to grow in life…
If you want to live to your highest potential, you need to be mindful of these 3 big things:
- Your thoughts
- Your association
- Your habits
Why?
Because they’ll become a huge influence in your life – directly or indirectly.
Okay, let’s break it down.
Your thoughts:
You need to mind your thoughts because…
The quality of your thoughts will influence your decisions, and the quality of your decisions will determine the kinda actions you’ll make ( positive or negative).
What are you consuming into your mind?
What is your mind made of – junks or value?
Who are your role models – great people, or negative but influential people?
Your thoughts will shape how you see the world, or how interprete circumstances.
How you interpret circumstances will determine your actions – fight, fly or sink.
Do you understand?
If you think positive thoughts, you’ll live a positive life.
But if you think negative thoughts, you’ll self-sabotage yourself.
Mind the thoughts you entertain and nurture in your mind, okay?
Your habits:
Your habits can make you become a better version of yourself, or a weaker version.
What are the things you do daily?
If you make it a habit to consume junks, smoke, womanizer, or gamble daily till they become addictions… just know you’re setting yourself up for pains, regrets, and frustrations.
Bad habits are liabilities in life, dicard them, before they sink you.
But, if you make it a habit to develop yourself daily…
You’ll become a valuable and superior version of yourself that’ll make you attract great people and opportunities to you that’ll make you to level up.
Your associations:
The kinda people you associate with will determine the kinda discussions and activities you’ll engage in with them.
If you move with highly ambitious people who are putting in the work to level up and live a meaningful and purposeful life…
You’ll feel motivated and inspired to level up on your own.
Why?
Because your mind will be exposed to success and high energy.
You’re seeing people who are breaking your mental barriers and excuses through ACTion.
They’ll make you see what’s possible IF you’re willing to do the work.
And your mind will be challenged to replicate the success it is being exposed to.
And that’s how you’ll dare to do the things you never thought possible (before you met them)—till you achieve them and keep daring for more.
And before you know it, you’ll be success personified.
But don’t forget, your success started by associating with valuable and goal-driven people.
On the flip side
If you associate with people with no drive for life…
They’ll drag you down to their level and kill your potential in the process.
These kinda people won’t talk about growth, or how you can improve and become a better version of yourself
Instead, they’ll always talk about fashion… cruise… women… drugs… entertainment, etc.
These kinda people will always talk about how unfair the world is, or…
How wicked people are—for not assisting them when they ask, or discussing irrelevant things that won’t add value to you.
See, associating with negative people will make you think aiming for greatness is a crime.
Because they don’t want to grow in life, they won’t want you to grow, too.
And that’s because they know if you grow, your life will remind them of how they’re wasting their lives.
So…
They’ll do anything to stop you from evolving.
Like the great Myles Munroe once said,
“Don’t allow people who are not going anywhere to take you with them.”
Watch out for YOU, my gee.
You owe it to yourself to become the best version of yourself while fulfilling your purpose and making an impact in the lives of others.
Okay?
Choose your associations, thoughts and habits WISELY.
Stay Sharp!
