Are You Going To Drag Them Up With You?

It is a tough job to maintain a high level of motivation and enthusiasm. You will only make it tougher by trying to drag negative folks up your personal ladder of success with you.

You cannot afford to be popular with negative thinkers. Choose your friends and associates carefully to insure that you are moving ahead with other positive folks. Otherwise, you will be sliding backwards with those refusing to look for their sunrise of opportunities.

Make it a point not to listen to co-worker's or friend's gripes and groans. It can 'eat away' at your newly discovered enthusiasm and positive can-do attitude toward living your definition of success. Negative folks do not believe they are negative, but instead, believe they are being realistic and everyone else is wrong for being optimistic and positive-minded.

Negative thinkers have a tendency to talk about all of the negative aspects of situations and people, instead of looking for the positive. The negative is what they want to hear, such as common, everyday, busybody gossip about situations, other people and about life itself.

Do not spend time with people whose emotional and/or financial thinking is less positive than yours or those who purport to live everyone else's life but their own. Separate from people who are lazy about their future. Stay away from negative talkers who try to fill you with their negative influences. Your family is one thing (although you should consider their influence on you as well). Your choice of friends and associates is another.

When you allow yourself to be consumed and surrounded by negativism and negative people, one thing normally happens - you catch the same disease.

Open your eyes and ears and listen to your friends and associates. Do they talk in the past tense? People who are always saying things like, "I did this"` "I've done that", "I earned this much", or people who are always recalling their past, are not success driven. They are past tense historians. They have taken their eyes off the sunrise and are living, and inviting you to join them, in the shadow of their past.

Positive, opportunity thinkers and doers are interested in, and talk about, where they are going - not where they have been.

The world is made up of two types of people: 1) Those who are busily trying to impress others with how much they are achieving, and 2) Those who are silently, and busily, achieving their goals and living their definition of success. Identify, associate with, and support the latter - the type of folks you'll find using the Moving Forward Out Of The Fog program.

Now, take the time to identify those folks and groups that are a POSITIVE influence and go grab yourself a whole bunch of sunrises of opportunity.
