Why You Need to Re-Evaluate Yourself & Who You Surround Yourself With
A lot of the time, we don’t realize how much the people around us affect our day-to-day lives. We may have known someone for years and have not truly realized what kind of impact they have made on us. When people say “you need to re-evaluate yourself” it’s not necessarily a bad thing; it’s important for each and every one of us to take a step back and think about what we’re doing, where we’re going and who we are as humans. Not only should you re-evaluate yourself as a person, you should recognize what kind of people you surround yourself with. Do they make you feel happy? Do they have the same important values as you? Do they care about your well-being? Are they a good influence for you?
I personally have had a handful of people come and go in my life and it’s completely okay. There are people I have decided to no longer hangout with or converse with for various reasons; they distract me from achieving my goals, they have done me wrong, we don’t have the same values, etc. I personally do not want to have someone in my life that doesn’t believe in my goals or is a possible distraction or is a bad influence for me.
A lot of people don’t realize this, but we have a lot of power over what we manifest in life. When you share a space or life with someone, their universe becomes your universe, so it’s very important to be careful who you share your life with. If you continuously surround yourself with negative people, that will heavily affect your life and mindset. Whereas, if you surround yourself with positive and motivated people (friends, family, co-workers, etc) you will find yourself thinking more positively and feeling more determined with what you want out of life. Their energy becomes your energy. Don’t let negative energy and people weigh you down; if you find yourself lacking in your day-to-day life, it may be time to re-evaluate yourself and your circle. It may seem hard, but it’s what you need to do in order to live a happier and more successful life.
Over the last two years, I have re-evaluated myself as a person, and the people I choose to surround myself with. I personally try to surround myself with positive, open-minded and motivated people. If I don’t vibe with someone, they won’t be a part of my life, it’s simple as that. I’ve had some people in my life that distracted me from what I was trying to achieve, not because they did it on purpose, but because they weren’t motivated and were unsure about what they wanted in life. Their uncertainty and lack of motivation held me back from achieving what I wanted to achieve. Now that I’ve re-evaluated myself and the people I choose to surround myself with, I’ve found myself to be more motivated than ever! I follow specific people on social media because their drive with business, work and life keeps me motivated and driven; even if I don’t personally know them! Energy is a real thing, and you need to figure out what kind of energy the people in your circle provide you with.
