When you are looking to achieve real success, the people that you surround yourself with will become extremely important. Successful people gravitate to other successful people for very good reasons.

We can be reminded here of the old saying "birds of a feather flock together". Who you choose to build relationships with will influence your success. Evaluate the quality of your relationships. Make sure that they are productive and positive.

You will be brought down by those that are engrossed in negativity. Your success can fail if you are surrounded by people who complain, argue and bring doom and gloom into your life.

These types of people lack commitment to change and when they see that you are striving for a higher level of thinking they are generally not supportive. Their inclination is to convince you that what you are moving to accomplish is not worth the effort.

You will want to immediately eliminate any relationship that causes you pain and anguish. This snake like relationship is very harmful. The venom that is left with in you once this snake has bitten you will deplete you of all the good you are striving to create in your life.

You must have courage and determination to remove these types of people out of your life. Some may be family members or life long friends, you may love them, but if they are not meeting you on the higher level, you will want to keep your contact with them as limited as possible.

You will want to surround yourself with people whom you trust, respect, and who have a burning desire for success as well.

You do not create success by yourself. Team work is what usually gets you there. You will want to have people in your circle who are positive and support your dreams and your efforts.

Success in life requires that you continuously feed your inspiration and motivation in order to manifest momentum. Your relationships play a very big part in achieving all of this. There is amazing energy that comes from being around like minded people. You will achieve your goals much quicker when you cultivate more empowering relationships.

As you become more successful you will naturally gravitate towards others who are successful too. However the key is to start building quality relationships in the beginning as mental energy for the road ahead. These relationships can be the breeding ground for wonderful success in the near future. As you start to collaborate and mastermind with in these positive relationships, creative energy starts to flow as you work together for a common goal.

You will want to seek out mentors, people who have gone before you on the journey to success. Their guidance and wisdom will be invaluable as you learn from where they have been. Your mentors should be those that resonate with you. They should represent the integrity that is congruent with yours. You will want to be careful as to not put them on a pedestal. Mentors are human and if at some point they fail to live up to your high placement of them, you will run the risk of a disappointment. Learn as much as you can from them, and as you grow so will your circle of mentors and your ultimate success..
