Choose Who You Associate With Carefully

Motivational Power Quote

Choose Who You Associate With Carefully 

“Keep away from people who try to belittle your

ambitions, small people always do that, but the

really great make you feel that you, too

can become great.”

Mark Twain 1835 - 1910, American Writer and Humorist    

 

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Choose who your associate with carefully

You will meet many people in your lifetime on your success journey . . . . those that will be there to help and mentor you and those that will try to sabotage you and your career.

Choose who you associate with carefully as those associations have the capacity to make the difference between a successful career and one with marginal results.

People will judge you by the company that you keep . . . . therefore you will be judged by who your associate with. Build and maintain your relationships based on your values and with people of similar values.

The most recent studies show that a person . . . . will pick up the character traits of the people that a person most often associates with. Form your associations with the people that you would like to emulate . . . .  and in time you will mirror the person’s characteristics.

Stay away from or disassociate from the people that try to belittle you or your efforts. They are trying their best to see you fail . . . . They will take great joy if they can succeed in helping to take you down the wrong path and see you fail.

You know who they are they’re the negative Nellie’s and everything that they talk about . . . . or in their lives is negative or someone else’s fault. When you see that person entering into your life . . . . run for the hills they are a walking and talking nightmare. 

Choose who you associate carefully. For just one person can make the difference to impact you, your life and your career. That person can put you over the top in achieving success or sink you into the waste land of failure.  

Choose who you associate with carefully . . . . because your success will hinge on the choice you make.
