I promise you, even people that care about you will inadvertently waste a decade of your life if you let them.

And they will still care about you and they'll still say they love you and they'll still feel guilty about it afterwards, but it won't stop them (from) doing it.

Because people do what's comfortable for them, not what's right for you.

You know, the people you surround yourself with have a phenomenal impact on your life.

The people we're surrounded by have a greater bearing on our life and our success in life than what's built into the genes at birth.

There's genetic conditioning, there's environmental conditioning. Well, this environmental conditioning goes on all the way through life.

You will find as you improve the quality of your life, improve your thinking, you're gonna attract a different group of people into your life. And they are going to add to your life.

See, the people we're surrounded by, their thinking is going right into our mind.

We want to mix with people who are really making it happen.

Take a look at your five people that you're with most often, and ask yourself, if I have children, would I want them to grow up be like that?

If the answer's no, you better start looking for some new friends.

If the answer's yes, you're already in the right circle of people.

Think about what I'm saying. The people we're surrounded with have a phenomenal impact on our life and help make us who we are.

If you have a piece of really good news, a really true good friend will mirror and match that excitement with you.

Someone who's not as happy for you will come in with dream killer questions.

What kind of person am I becoming because of this relationship?

Is it helping me to grow mentally and emotionally and spiritually?

Am I becoming a better person because of this relationship?

Do they bring out the best in me?

Do they inspire me?

Do they encouraged me to develop my greatness?

Do they make me stretch?

See, you've got to look at the people in your life and find out, what kind of person are you becoming because of that relationship?

If you don't get the wrong people out of your life, you'll never meet the right ones.

You deserve to be around people who support you.

You are worthy of incredible relationships.

The life you want is going to require you to say no.

Saying no, doesn't make you a bad person. It doesn't make you selfish.

In fact, it makes you confident, it makes you strong and it makes you honest.
