If you surround yourself with people who are negative, toxic and energy-draining, you will end up exactly like them. The negative talk and complaining you keep on hearing over and over again becomes your reality, and subconsciously you will end up just like them. You will exist just to organise pity parties.
To develop a winning mentality you must always stand guard at the door of your mind! Don’t let anyone poison your mind with their negative stuff! No one has a right to feed you negative stuff without your consent.
It is the time for you to ask yourself the important question about your relationships: “What is this relationship doing to me?” Be very clear in your mind of what you want to achieve, work hard towards achieving it, and you will attract it because we don’t get in life what we want but who we are. That’s why it is said that whenever the student is ready to learn, the teacher will always appear.
When I made a decision to change my life, I started reading motivational books, listened to positive messages (audio CDs in my car while driving), and attended workshops, conferences, seminars and networking sessions. I eventually got to believe that I could achieve what other successful people have achieved. There’s nothing you can ever achieve without believing that you can.
The key to changing your mindset is to control what goes into your ear, because it is the one that affects your thoughts, whether positive or negative.
