Surround yourself with positive influences from "summary" of Free to Focus by Michael Hyatt
When it comes to optimizing your environment for success, one of the most important things you can do is to surround yourself with positive influences. This may seem like common sense, but the truth is that many people fail to take this simple step. They allow negative influences to infiltrate their lives, holding them back from achieving their full potential.
Positive influences can come in many forms. They can be people who uplift and encourage you, mentors who provide guidance and support, or even something as simple as a motivational quote that inspires you to keep pushing forward. By surrounding yourself with these positive influences, you create a supportive environment that nurtures your growth and development.
Conversely, negative influences can have a detrimental impact on your mindset and productivity. These can be toxic people who drain your energy and bring you down, or environments that are chaotic and disorganized. By allowing these negative influences to take hold, you sabotage your own success and hinder your ability to focus on what truly matters.
To create a positive environment, you must be intentional about curating the influences in your life. This means actively seeking out positive people to surround yourself with, and eliminating or minimizing contact with those who bring negativity into your life. It also means creating physical spaces that are conducive to productivity and well-being, and avoiding environments that are cluttered or chaotic.
By making a conscious effort to surround yourself with positive influences, you set yourself up for success. You create a supportive ecosystem that empowers you to thrive and achieve your goals. So take stock of the influences in your life, and make the necessary changes to ensure that you are surrounded by positivity and encouragement. Your future self will thank you for it.
