Hi venerable Steemians!
Have you ever stood to wonder about the people in your every day life and how the relationship between you and them affects your identity and mindset? Well, today might be as good as any other day to once again take a look at those with whom you share your life!
Bear with me as I make this case; we interact with a lot of people in different stages of our life. Sometimes you begin a journey with someone whose approach and worldview fills you with positive energy. Sometimes you befriend someone who is drowned in a world of hopelessness. It is not strange to have felt these surges of energy from the people who we meet or hang out with on a regular basis.
The influence that these people have in our lives is much more pivotal than we ever care to admit. Humans find and understand their identity in the reflection of those who surround them. Their mirror is what gives us a sense of belonging, and through that belonging we begin to understand who we are and what we desire.
So, what you need to essentially ask yourself is: How are the people in your life leaving you with reflections of what makes you who you are? Your future rests on those with whom you interact, for indeed their mere presence will influence you in ways you do not fully comprehend. It can be proven that every distinct word, every quiet whisper, every small action, and every single move of you and those around you can influence your mind and your worldview.
In the words of Jim Rohn, one of the greatest motivational speakers of our time, ‘You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.’
If you want to experience a great life, you need to surround yourself with things that contribute to this greatness. If you want to fly like an eagle, you will need to spend time with eagles, and not other birds of different nature and caliber. In order to become a star in the night sky, you need to rise and find a place amongst these beings of light, and have the tolerance of being away from all those things and all those people who would seduce you into despair or accepting things that you would otherwise forsake.
If we have learned even one thing for a hundred percent in this life, it is the fact that nothing of value will ever grace your life unless you decide to accept the idea that everything comes with a price, and the world extracts that price, one way or another. It is difficult to let go of those people that have a harmful impact on the way you live and the way you think. Trust me, no one understands the effort better than I do. But know this; it is not about acquaintances, connections, relationships or cheap thrills of this nature… THIS IS YOUR LIFE!
What do you know, this decision might actually end up helping those people! When you become a star in the sky, you inspire other people to follow you and walk down the path that you have set before their eyes. You will then realize that you have a community of people who respect and value individual determination towards something more than what their previous reality had given them.
So, from now on, be careful of the people in your inner circle. Be wary of the impact that they might have on you in the long term. Be cautious of how you might begin to see yourself in the reflection of their identities. You may have to decide to leave some of them behind, and even though that is a difficult choice, it is a necessary one if you are really willing to make your destiny and become what you have always wanted to. Even now, your future can be seen in the eyes of those closest to you.
