A Bad Attitude Guarantees You’ll Never Achieve Massive Success
Your success depends heavily on who you associate with.
Your level of talent and “potential” is irrelevant if you’re surrounded by people who don’t help you realize it.
Most people adapt to whatever environment they find themselves. Since most people’s environments are set up to produce mediocre results, most people’s lives look mediocre.
Unfortunately, most people don’t have a powerful network of close relationships. The biggest decisions of their life are made with the influence of largely-negative individuals with low standards.
Tony Robbins once made the point that your life is a reflection of your standards. What you tolerate is what you get. If you allow mediocrity, your life will be mediocre.
The majority of the world is willing to tolerate unhealthy relationships, poor finances, and jobs they hate. If not so, those things wouldn’t be in their lives.
Truly successful people living extraordinary lives of purpose are extremely rare. Most observers have no idea how to become that successful.
True success starts with attitude. In the words of James Allen, “As a man thinketh, so he is. As he continues to think, so he remains.”
