Friendship: The "Chosen" Family

Winners,

One of the eight parts of a complete life is Friendship. Within the last 10 years I have surrounded myself with spectacular people that I now call my friends and my Chosen Family. I love them all! We are all like minded people that share the same interests and we like to have fun, learn and grow together. My Chosen Family also helps each other as we encourage them to be their best. We celebrate the Victories in their lives with no Judgement or Jealousy. We are Family and we feed off of each other to be our best.

Tony Robbins coined the phrase, "Proximity Is Power". What he means by that is we become the people we hang around with. If you want to live a clean lifestyle, you have to hang out with people that eat well, don't smoke and stay away from alcohol. If you want to become more successful, you hang out with people that are smarter than you and love success. If you love to hunt and fish, you hang out with hunters and fishermen. If you love to do charity work and help others, you'll hang out with the same like minded people. I think you get the drift. But what happens if you want to grow and the friends around you get jealous and try to bring you back to their level? This is where you have to be disciplined and find some new friends. You can never be higher or better than the best friend you have.

An essential part of every human is friendship. We thrive for connection. All I'm saying is pick your friends wisely. The old saying goes, "You can't pick your family but you can pick your friends." If you want to grow and be the best that you can be, chose the friends that will encourage you to be your best!!!
