Make sure the circle you’re in is growing with you and not trying to close on you. Most people can’t get ahead because they’re holding on to people who lack ambition. You’ll never reach the mountain top if you have to carry everybody on your back. Have people in your life that can inspire you but still know how to motivate their self. If you’re trying to go places in life you, you need people around you who have actually been somewhere. It’ll be hard to follow a dream if all you have is closed minds in your circle, what you recognize as real, they see as impossible. Some people you’ll just have to be cool with from a distance. You don’t need certain people in your everyday life. Not everybody will understand what you want to do and where you’re trying to go, and if you’re not careful you’ll get distracted. My mindset is this: You can’t antagonize me and influence me at the same time. So if you’re not concerned with helping me, I’m not concerned with you judging me. Don’t get discouraged thinking that things will never work out; things begin to work out once you start to put work in. Show me a problem and I’ll show you a promise. There is no trial too big for you to triumph. Understand that delayed does not mean denied. When the timing is right, what you want will coincide with what you need. Just make sure your circle isn’t in the way of that.
