One of the things that have helped me a lot in life is those I surround myself with.
Some years ago, I surrounded myself with people who have no idea about their purpose in life.
So, none of our discussions had anything to do with purpose, making an impact, or pursuing the kingdom of God.
We were always talking about becoming rich or making more money, getting a better/bigger job, and buying properties.
Now, my circle has changed. My friends consist of people we want to fulfill purpose together, win souls together, and pursue God's kingdom together.
As a result, my motivation and drive for life have gotten better and I live every day charged up to fulfill my purpose.
Why am I sharing this with you?
If you want to do great things in life, surround yourself with others who are doing great things too.
The people you constantly talk to and see will have an effect on the direction of your life, whether you like it or not.
What you are beholding consistently, is what you will eventually become.
The language you speak daily, you will soon become fluent at it. If it's the language of failures, you will soon be speaking fluent failure! If it's the language of success, you will soon become fluent at it.
When you surround yourself with great people, you either start to feel like you're not doing enough, your life wasting away, or that you could do more.
Trust me, those are great feelings, as long as they prompt you to action and not depression.
If you have been feeling this way, now is the time to swing to action.
Don't be ashamed to ask that friend of yours who is an achiever their secret to success.
When you ask them, please don't just be curious, be determined to apply whatever secret they share with you.
See, success leaves clues. If you want to be successful, learn what successful people are doing, learn the principles, and begin to live by them.
If you don't desire to be successful, check your friends or circle!
I believe in you.
