Happy Labor Day weekend everyone, I think it’s fitting given the nature of the holiday to focus on the importance of surrounding yourself with good people. I love this quote below... 🙌
There are many quotes and sayings out there highlighting the benefits of surrounding yourself with good people or quality people. One thing I’ve learned is you are only as good as the people you surround yourself with so be brave enough to let go of those who keep weighing you down. The reality is some people can be just plain miserable and you will find your happiness, energy and positivity be drained and that’s not healthy.
So what makes someone a “good” person to spend time with and what are the benefits of surrounding yourself with these people?
Good Quality People
“They are people that will inspire you to be a better person, provide you with motivation to achieve your goals, empower you to make the changes you need to succeed and cheer on your success.”
The good people you’re looking for are; Family members, Friends, Coworkers or any acquaintance you may run into at positive outlets like church or your local coffee shop.
Who are You Spending the Most Time With
I challenge you to do a fun exercise, write down the qualities of the people you spend the most time with. Think if you would consider them positive and happy people. Think if you would be able to depend and rely on them. Think if you feel they want the best for you and if their intentions are good. Now think of how they interact and affect you.
Once you‘ve wrote down the qualities of the people you spend the most time with and have thought about how they affect you and impact your life, you should have a pretty good vibe of the good people you will want to keep or wean out of your life.
Here are some positive quotes to live by in surrounding ourselves with good and positive people.
We have a choice in who we spend most of our time with in our lives. Choosing to invest our time and resources with good quality and positive people instead of people who tear us down will only benefit our healthy lifestyle at the end of the day.
I will leave you with this thought, you can not change the people around you, but you can change the people that you choose to be around.
