The Team Around You

Much can be said about the people you surround yourself with. But that boils down to this, are they helping or are they hurting?

So, the support system around you is quite important. Many people will say that they are supportive of your goals, but can often falter when it no longer is convenient for them. For example, Many people decide that hey want to lose weight and/or get in shape. Their significant other is initially supportive, until dinner time comes around and they don't really want to eat veggies.

I understand that other people don't want to be inconvenienced, it's natural, but they must look at the bigger picture. If someone desire to better themselves, and be a bit selfish in the process, than it is in everyone's best interest to help him or her on their journey. People who set and achieve goals are happier, translating to all aspects of that person's life.

A note to people who have a bad support system; don't let it discourage you. If it is a goal you need to accomplish for yourself, than you must do it. It may take a bit longer because of the circumstances, that's okay because it is going to be a process anyway. Do your best to surround yourself with positive people when you can, not avoiding negative people because they will always be in your life.

To those who are negative towards goal-driven people; get over yourself and stop it. Those people are simply bettering themselves, don't stand in their way...they'll eventually run you over on their way to success.
