Have you ever wondered what exactly prevents you from succeeding?
That's like doing everything right: working a lot and with the mind, doing self-development, reading the right literature, but happiness in life is all there and no.
And all because you did not want to change its environment .
Very often it is our friends and acquaintances that drag us back into that swamp in which it is so convenient for them to croak: "Ah, I'm so poor and unhappy."
And while you do not chop off their tenacious paws that grabbed you, you will not be successful.
Is it true that our environment affects us so much?
True truth!
Our social circle & gt;- this is not only a reflection of our character, our habits, but also a certain projection on our future.
Look at your friends.
How do you imagine them in 10 years?
The picture is not inspiring?
But about the same future expects you, if you do not pierce this dull circle, that is - do not change your environment .
Do not believe those who assure you: I do not depend on the opinions of others.
All depend!
Even the most self-sufficient people.
Our bad environment:
-
Pulls us to the bottom.
Imagine the boy Petya, who looks at the posters of bodybuilders and dreams of becoming the same.
And this boy is friends with three dunces who spend days on end, sticking out on the bench at the entrance.
Petya is recorded in the rocking chair, and these horse-friends neigh and say: "You checha? Let's make beer a beer! ".
And now Petya has to choose: to stay with narrow-minded comrades and part with a dream, or send far away such grief-friends and boldly walk to their goal.
-
Does not allow to develop.
Once in one of the forums I read the story of the girl Nastia, which the school friend begged to stay in their small town and enter a local university, they say, it's more fun to study together, etc.
Nastya succumbed to the persuasion of a school friend, although she dreamed of Kiev University.
As a result, a friend in the second year jumped to marry an Armenian and fled to Armenia to live with him.
And Nastya has remained in the unloved city, with an unpromising profession and low-paid work.

Destroys our path to success.
About 10-12 years ago freelance in Ukraine was just gaining momentum.My cousin who works in the newspaper, who had a computer at home and access to the Internet, offered to write for the popular site today.
Money promised good, only required to write for them on a permanent basis, that is, you had to choose between the newspaper and the site.
Anya consulted with her friend and she discouraged her: "On the Internet some scams are found, what kind of freelancing?".
Sister refused and still regrets this.
-
It drives us depressed.
My friend worked in the department, the head of which adored complaining about her hard life.
Took the girls so much that they did not go out without valerian and other sedatives.
-
Takes away valuable time from us, which can be spent on self-development.
Before I seriously engaged in my life, I also had a company in which I spent time though and cheerfully, but without the slightest benefit.
When I felt that I did not have a lot of banal Friday gatherings, I started calling friends at the cinema, the theater, for some kind of exhibition or training, and offered to register with me in the gym.
All my initiatives were perceived with a little laugh, saying: "You're not serious?".
As a result, I realized that I would have to choose: my own life and success or actively degrading friends.
I chose the first one and left, and my friends have others, with whom I develop together, and not degrade.
Why should I change my environment?
Of course, breaking relationships with school or university friends is very difficult, because you have so many pleasant memories.
But, if you feel that this friendship pulls you to the bottom, then it is better to get rid of it, before it's too late and you still have time to live as you want, not someone.
"The world of every man is a kind of mirror. And when you find that all around are worthless idiots, it's just right to wonder why it's suddenly that the beautiful and surprising me have such unsightly reflections. "
Max Fry. The key of the yellow metal
Changing your surroundings, you can :
- Achieve higher heights if you apply the proper force.
- Spend your precious time on self-development, and not on aimless wandering around bars and doing nothing.
- To release a niche for people with whom you really have much in common and that will pull you to your high level, rather than pulling to the bottom.
It is possible and necessary to make friends with successful people!
I'm not saying that you should cast for a friend and choose the winner of the one who earns the most or holds the highest position.
However, a successful friend in your environment should be.
Communicating with a loser, you, the average earning person, will feel like a millionaire and will not achieve anything more.
But the friendship with a person who can afford much more in material terms than you will hurt your ego. So, you will certainly strive for success.
How can I change my environment?
I could, of course, say that it's easy to do: I sent all the disliked people far away and it's all over.
You can do this, it's a very effective method.
But, if you are a delicate person and do not want to offend your friends with harshness, act smarter:
- Refuse to meet with them, coming up with a serious reason.
- Create yourself so tight schedule that you do not have time for "pivasik" and "hangouts".
- At trainings, courses, in the gym or elsewhere, find yourself a new successful friend, and then he will drive out of your life the old.
- If you are drawn to the bottom of the work team, then it's time to look for a more interesting and highly paid work.
-
Think about life( albeit for a while) abroad.
In another country you can study or work, various programs to realize this, today there are plenty.
-
Make your environment get rid of you.
For example, one of my friends from the bored tusovka was released like this: she began telling comrades about the books she had read and they soon stopped inviting this "crazy bore to drink beer in the evening."
Did you know that our environment can also determine our income?
How to calculate this?
See in the following video:
When getting involved, remember that the motto " change your environment and be happy" only works when you are ready to change yourself and work your way to success.
Otherwise it's all a mouse fuss.
