Support circles

Over the years, I have found one of the most effective ways to incorporate what I was learning in my path to self-awareness, was to surround myself with people who gave me strength - people in my life who were committed to living positive and thoughtful lives.

One of the biggest factors in any person's success are the people that they associate with. In particular, your five closest friends.The five people I was closest to, helped me build my Support Circle.

As you undertake the journey to self-awareness, I would recommend that you take a look at YOUR "Support Circle", the five people you are closest to in your life. It's crucial to your success that you have some positive people in the five who support you. If you have five positive people cultivate and keep them if you do not have five positive people one of the first steps you will have to take is to leave the people who are not positive behind as you move forward in your journey.

I believe that the people you allow to make up this group of five, are instrumental to your success, that they truly become crucial to your path. They colour your goals, expectations, and what you believe is possible for you.

Be honest with yourself, would you describe the people you now have as the five closest people in your life as people who are positive people or are they neutral, negative or struggling? Who are the five people in the group closest to you now?

If most of the five are not on the same path, can you think of two or three NEW people that you currently know, that you can actively work on developing a deeper relationship with and bring them into your Support Circle?

Take a moment NOW and create your Support Circle. Surround yourself with like-minded people that will support and inspire you on your journey.
