April 15/17
I was briefly scanning my notes and I came across a bullet that read - surround yourself with greatness including your friends. That is exactly the thought I was thinking about lately. Specifically as of late a new friend has come into my life where I met at a training seminar.
At the moment of meeting we both agreed to a further commitment of helping each other grow by mentoring and coaching each other. So sometime has passed and two scheduled meeting have taken place over the phone. Each time we leave the session with a personal plan and commitment to each other as what we are going to accomplish in our life until our next meeting.
I have realized that is valuable in regards to helping us both move forward in our growth. However the greatest benefit I feel from these meetings is the depth of perspective that they are currently adding to my life. I remember at the beginning of our last call session I was feeling low energy and as the session naturally evolved I realized my energy level increased. Not only was my energy level increasing I was feeling refueled to go further on my personal growth.
It was then I fully realized that another component of my rebuilding of my alignment foundation was occurring at that moment. The quest to become the best I can be is starting to evolve. I have realized I have grown so much and with great excitement I am looking forward to continuing on that path.
Which leads me to my first statement of this chapter of the importance of surrounding yourself with great people. By doing this and ensuring your alignment is your passion. You will start gaining momentum of your growth journey. There was a time in my life I would look at healthy successful people and would admire what they had in their life. Yet it seemed like a complex code to me of how to accomplish that overall sense of greatness in myself.
As you have read some of these words in previous chapters you will remember the need for me to have positive energy in my life. Step one for me to realize what I need in my life by thought. Once that was complete then to daily make choices that would bring that positive greatness into my life. Also this next point is of key importance of when you realize a new person in your life is not aligning up to your positive direction. To immediately and reference back to your purpose, once that realization is made to let that person go.
Picture falling out of a boat in deep water holding onto a hundred pound unique rock that has captured your attention. Because this rock is so unique you want to hold onto it and not to loose it. As you grip that rock tightly and you kick with all you might to return to that surface of the water you are drawn deeper under. As your lungs start to strain and fight for air, eventually you have one of two choices to make. One is to continue to hold onto that rock and eventually your lungs will fill with water. Or as your reading this, you are probably thinking the obvious choice and in alignment to living is to let go of that rock. Once you let go you can now use your hands and feet to propel yourself to the surface. To your freedom of escaping from the darkness of the depth to the safety of the boat that is waiting for you on the surface. Like a positive influence in a friend this boat will be patiently waiting for your return. However it is not possible for this boat to come down to save you as you hold onto this rock. Just like positive great friends in your life, they will not allow themselves to go down on such negative circles. This is a journey that they will not take with you. Yet are more than willing to go with you to a positive place. Not only willing but will add to your life and positive energy.
Take this moment to ask yourself who in your life is helping you right now at this moment. Ask also who are the rocks that are pulling you down? Take this moment to let go and return to the surface and surround yourself with greatness.
