Positive vs. Negative Influencers

"Simply put, you want to deliberately reduce and restrict the amount of your time left vulnerable to random thought or association, and deliberately, sharply reduce the amount of time given to association with people who won’t make any productive contribution and may do harm. Does that mean you can only spend time with people you are in complete philosophical agreement with? No. In fact, such isolationism can be dangerous. But it does mean you should avoid association with people who believe and promulgate beliefs diametrically opposed to “success orientation.”- Dan Kennedy 

You want to deliberately increase the amount of your time directed at chosen thinking and input, and constructive, productive association. You time should be spent with strivers and achievers, with winners and champions. These types of people become an uplifting force that translates into peak performance.  In the end being this deliberate makes all your time more valuable.  

Is this hard to do?  I believe anything is achievable if you nudge yourself towards that goal a little at a time.  Spend some time classifying the people in your life as positive or negative force.  Then repeat this exercise at least every six months.

Today’s question is:

“Have you ever classified the people in your life as positive or negative influencers?”
