Hang Out With The Right Crowd
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.
Whatever your goal or aspiration, it is a pretty good bet that it is going to take longer than you expected. Strong support and encouragement from like-minded friends and associates who think like you and who are also working on purpose-filled lives serves as barrier against all the negativity and cynicism to which you are constantly subjected.
It is much easier when you have someone saying, “go for it!” rather than “that will never work,” or “you should get a real job.”
Attitude is everything….. especially a positive one.
