Identify the positive people in
your life and depend on them when needed. We should all have
someone who is able to spot the silver lining in every cloud.
Finding the positive people in your life is almost like equipping
yourself with a parachute. As mentioned in a previous chapter, when
you are searching for success expect to fail a multitude of times
before reaching your desired outcome. The positive people in your
life are who you want to surround yourself with in the midst of
this trial and error period. Let them give you the compliments and
the praise even though you came up short. These are the people who
soften the blow of defeat and help you dust yourself off and
encourage you to try again.
These positive thinkers will also
help you to identify things that you might have done right in your
previous attempts. Whether they know it or not, their God given
gift is to be positive and to identify with positive things. These
people are usually in the midst of attempting to achieve greatness
in their own life. It is best to keep them close by. Use each other
as co-inspirers. If you don't know anyone who fits this mold
personally, find someone who has a positive presence to follow
using your choice of social networking. Whether it's posting
positive and inspirational photos, quotes or personal stories, draw
from their energy. Extract inspiration and positive energy from
whomever and wherever you can.
