The Importance of Surrounding Yourself with Positive People

We've got a lot of things that I wanna be able to cover with you, and today I want to talk to you a little bit about the efforts that you're using to surround yourself with positive people and the right people, because you know it's time for you to let go of relationships that are holding you back.

Look, we all have goals in areas of business, finance, and relationships. And so the question you have to ask yourself is, why don't we all have success in those areas? If you're seeing people setting goals and everyone's talking about success in these areas, the answer is your standards. That’s an answer Tony Robbins would give, because the only thing that will change your life, change your business, and change your relationships, is that you absolutely must raise your standards.

So to get rid of negative people, to find good people, to surround yourself with people that will help you—this is a huge strategy that I think you may not put enough effort and time into.

‍

Raising Your Standards for Your Inner Circle

And so what we wanna do today is talk about raising your standards for your inner circle.

I found a really great article by Tony Robbins, and it's one that can give you perspective and solutions. Because you’ve heard that saying, “If you're the smartest person in the room, then you're in the wrong room.” Think about your life right now.

The idea that you are the average of the people that you surround yourself with has been around for a long time, and it’s totally true. If you’re not applying that principle, then you need to start. Why is it so important?

That’s why I created the Prosperity Pillars—and the fourth one is to surround yourself with positive people. Because every aspect of your life is influenced by the people around you. You adopt their beliefs, their standards, and their energy. Surrounding yourself with positive people versus negative people directly translates into your life.

So think about who you are around most of the time, and then look at where you are in life. You’ll likely see the correlation. That’s why I want to walk you through how to surround yourself with the right people. And I say positive—not just successful—because positive people bring the characteristics that fuel lasting success.

Proximity is Power: Surround Yourself with Greatness

The first and most important suggestion is that proximity is power. Decide to surround yourself with greatness.

We all have goals in our lives. But the pursuit you choose and the people you invest your time with are a reflection of your standards and beliefs.

If you’re trying to grow your business, why would you spend time with people who bring negativity or distraction? If you want a strong relationship, why surround yourself with people who distract from it?

The number one way to surround yourself with positivity is to make the decision right now to raise your standards about who you allow into your life. Comfort zones often keep people around us, but don’t let fear or the opinions of others dictate your inner circle. If you want to level up, you need to surround yourself with greatness—people whose goals and dreams align with yours, people eager to support you as you support them.

Letting Go of Negative Relationships

The second suggestion is to let go of negative relationships.

If you consider yourself a go-getter, but your partners or team lack ambition, you’ll be held back. Identifying the people who drag you down is the first step to leveling up.

Think about how you feel when you’re around someone. Do you feel energized, ambitious, and excited? Or do you feel drained, fearful, or unsure? Emotions are indicators. Negative relationships take more than they give.

Be intentional. Ask yourself why you’re keeping certain people in your life and whether those reasons are serving you.

‍

Identifying and Embracing Positive People

The third suggestion is to identify positive people.

Just as you likely have negative relationships, you also have positive ones. And diversity is valuable—supporters, visionaries, risk-takers, hardworking people, and mentors. The key is ensuring most of them share a common element: positivity.

Diversify your circle but maintain positivity as the foundation. Don’t be the smartest one in the room—seek people who challenge and inspire you.

‍

Joining Professional Groups for Success

The fourth suggestion is to join professional groups.

If you want to accelerate your success, surround yourself with people in your field. Find mentors, join mastermind groups, or work with a coach. No one does it alone.

Being around positive, successful, and knowledgeable people helps you overcome limiting beliefs and step beyond your comfort zone. Confidence is contagious—it transfers when you surround yourself with ambitious people who’ve achieved what you aspire to do.

‍

Stepping Outside Your Comfort Zone

The last suggestion is to get outside your comfort zone.

Tony Robbins says all growth starts outside your comfort zone. So surround yourself with people who push you. The best friends are not the ones who tell you what you want to hear, but what you need to hear.

If you want to grow, you must be willing to hear tough truths and push beyond comfort. Growth requires expanding your skills, your mindset, and your habits.

Remember what Tony Robbins also says: “We all get what we tolerate.” That applies to ourselves and the people in our lives. Question who is in your life and what they are contributing—or taking away—from your goals.

‍

Final Thoughts and Encouragement

If you’re listening to this podcast, it’s because you have the desire to create your best life and unleash your true potential. But don’t let the people around you work against that.

That’s my message for today. I hope it brings you value. Please share this with at least one person. If the podcast helps you, it will help someone else too.

Have an amazing week. I look forward to talking with you tomorrow. This is George Wright III, and this has been The Daily Mastermind.
