34: (EMOTIONAL WELLNESS) Lead By Example

ORIGINAL INSTAGRAM BLOG: Surround yourself with people who are better than you. We are who we surround ourselves with. If you spend all your time with people who don’t try to get the best out of life, you’ll start to gravitate towards their level. The best way to be a high achiever is to surround yourself with people who are doing better than you, people who push you, people who don’t accept being average. - This means losing “friends” and distancing yourself from family, it’s not going to be fun INITIALLY but it’s essential. You may try to justify not leaving your “friends” and family because you don’t have many and losing them would take a bigger toll on you than staying with them. I beg to differ but try this out- become the high achiever. You set the example and show others that they can be more. That’s what leaders do and those “friends” or family members that see you being more than average, will hopefully want to be better to. And if they don’t, fuck ‘em. Those aren’t real friends. When you start to create a better you, better people gravitate towards you and enter your life. That’s why initially losing those “friends” will be difficult but in the long run you’ll gain actual friends who only want the best out of you. - It’s not healthy to be around those people anyways! They’re negative, pessimistic, and don’t want anything good in life. Those people are tornadoes and they will take out anything in their path. They will ruin your life just to feel better about theirs. You can’t help those people. That’s something that NO ONE BUT THEMSELVES CAN FIX. You can’t change people but you can lead by example. LEAD BY EXAMPLE. Be the reason people change. Never stop! Consistency wins. - Good luck and I wish you all the best. Rich INSTAGRAM: RICHARDPETRYFITNESS NEW EPISODES EVERY THURSDAY!
