“Tell me with whom you consort and I will tell you who you are […]”

- Johann Wolfgang Goethe

“Poverty, I realized, wasn’t only a lack of financial resources; it was isolation from the kind of people who could help you make more of yourself.”

- Keith Ferrazzi

If you want to increase your chance at success and happiness greatly, it is essential to surround yourself with people with a similar mindset and goal.

No one wants to feel alone with their aspirations.

Discover people around you who challenge, inspire, and motivate you to fulfill your dreams. Most importantly, they should set a good example by doing it themselves.

Actions:

  • spend more time with a friend that inspires you
  • join a group of like-minded people already doing the thing you want to learn
