A Lesson on Selecting Groups

“Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn. The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and prejudices and the acceptance of love back in our hearts. Love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life. Meaning does not lie in things. Meaning lies in us.”
― Marianne Williamson





Experts say that energy is contagious. Just like when your friends are excited you get excited too.

If you associate yourself with people who are successful then the odds of you succeeding dramatically improves. And when you associate yourself with the unsuccessful the inevitable will happen, you will fail.

"You are the sum of the 5 people you are with everyday."-Robert Kiyosaki

I know some people who associate themselves with groups and leaders who are happy, successful, industrious, confident, open-minded, kind, loving, courteous, speaks kind words, eats healthy food, intelligent and positive find themselves becoming happier, more successful, more industrious, open-minded, more confident, more loving, kinder and more positive in their overall outlook in life.

And I know some good-hearted people, who have unconsciously or accidentally associated themselves with groups and leaders who are unhappy, unsuccessful, lazy, insecure, close-minded, says bad words, swears, judging, condemning, rude, angry, irritated, hateful, unintelligent, drinks, takes drugs, eats unhealthy food, criticizing and negative… find themselves slowly becoming all of those unfortunate qualities that the group have.

Then they are wondering, why they experience those things in their lives. And the worst part is that they don’t know that their family and loved ones too, gets infected unconsciously by the virus that they have infected themselves with.

"Attitude is greatly shaped by influence and association." -– Jim Rohn

You will not stay in a place where there is a lot of poisonous rattlesnakes right? You don’t want to get close to it. Especially, if you are with your friends, family and loved ones correct? You will leave that place because, you don’t want to be bitten by the snake’s sharp fangs and get poisoned, it will hurt you or kill you and your family, friends and loved ones.

It’s the same thing you do when you find yourself in such groups, you leave, instantly, without hesitation.

And now, what you want to do, is to go ahead and spend your time, energy and associate yourself with people, groups and organizations that aligns with the constructive way of life. That is founded in love and that allows you to become a more loving and caring person. This not only benefits you but also benefits your family, friends, loved ones and the world.
