Staying positive is a challenge for everyone. Life can throw you some curve balls from time to time, and people/situations can distract you from your goals. A lesson that I keep learning over and over again is: who I surround myself with impacts my outlook on the situation.
We live in insecure times. People struggle with all kinds of hardships, insecurities, and fears (including myself). If you find yourself grappling with negativity, take a look at the people you hang out with and make adjustments. One of the greatest gifts we get to have as adults is to decide who we have in our lives and who we don’t. Choose wisely.
Surround yourself with positive people who are moving in the same direction you want to go in. Surround yourself with people who want to grow and learn, people who tell you the truth – not just what you want to hear, and people who encourage you on your journey. I am fortunate to work with and be surrounded by gifted people who value learning, self-reflection, honesty, and integrity. They push me, motivate me, and encourage me to grow and evolve into the person I want to become. While success or failure is ultimately up to me, having positive people in my life certainly helps me stay focused on what's important and forget about the small stuff.
