Who is worth your time?

This one is a struggle. I haven’t really noticed until recently that it is very easy to trick yourself into thinking you are spending your time wisely. We do a task that makes us feel good in the moment. When you really get down to it though, ask yourself what it’s really doing to get you closer to where you want to be.

I think 9/10 what we spend our time on is probably just time filler. We spend the bulk of our waking day at a job. Trading our life for money. There are a few hours a day you have to really focus on what you want to.

Social relationships are critical to happiness. Human beings are fundamentally wired to need social interaction. There is a fine balance that must be achieved here though.

People congregating tend to idle as a group. Friends go out to eat, or grab a drink. Which is great and again vital.

How many of your friends ask you about your goals? Are these people who are achieving similar things to what you want? If the answer is no, that is okay. However make it a point to seek out new relationships with people that are achieving what you are trying to. Or at the very least some people that are also aspiring.

People need social networks to drive change. Knowing something is possible is a huge psychological boost for yourself. If you get to see someone else in close quarters to you accomplish something that proves it is possible.

Just as beneficial as a good social relationship can be, a negative relationship is equally devastating on progress. We are our social networks. If we surround ourselves with people we do not wish to become we will become them none the less. Your environment matters, create a good one. If you cannot create a good one you should remove yourself from that environment at all costs.

Your time is yours and it is limited. Take time to invest in your social bonds. Make the move to from new networks and branch out.
