Ever hang around some negative people or in a negative environment? How did you feel during and after you had left? Did you feel drained of energy and just not happy about the situation you were currently in?
Guess what.. your attitude, drive and passion effects others around you. If you create that positive energy and always surround yourself with positive, upbeat, driven people, you can only find more success in life. Being surrounded by my Flo Family along with everyone else such as Patrick Lerouge (www.revivetm.com) or Paul Newell (www.balancedwellness.org), I started to see my true potential and what I am truly capable of. They bring out the best in me because of their positive energy. They believe I can do it and push me to my limits. Even when I feel so uncomfortable with doing something, such as speaking in front of a group... they pushed me knowing that I could do it. I would have never seen myself get this far into my career without the Flo Family. I have learned so much, met so many people, and found where my passion is. We all help each other out through thick and thin and just tell it like it is. I'll be the first to say, I have made some DUMB choices, and yes, they say it right back to me without any shame. That is true family, to know that they will pick you right back up when you start to fall.
The networking and connections we have made has led us to meet so many great people. You start to notice how many people could use help to open up their minds. We need to get out there and try new things, meet new people, and just explore. That is how we grow. I was just recently at a networking event in Westfield with Patrick last week. I was THE YOUNGEST (by far) person there. I felt so uncomfortable and out of place. I was doing something at my age of 23 that these other professionals are starting to do in their middle 40s +. Patrick saw how uncomfortable I was. I was fidgeting with my phone, drinking my bubbly water, and just writing down some things I heard from the speaker. He looked at me and just told me to Stop and pay attention. He covered my phone or just slapped my knee to make sure I was listening. About half way into it, the speaker grabbed me (not literally, her topic did). From that point, I realized, what the hell am I nervous about.. why should I feel uncomfortable. I want to succeed and was brought here for a reason. What the speaker was saying made total sense. I started to jot down some more notes and think about what she was saying and applied it to my own life. The thing that she had said that grabbed me was that "Our personal life affects our work life and our work life affects our personal life." I know it may not sound like such a big deal or it's just an obvious statement, but think about it. Ever just start a day off bad and just let it drag to the end of the day instead of stopping it? If your a trainer and you're in a bad mood, do you think that your clients want to be around you? Non-the less get motivated from you? You are probably going to ruin their day! Spread the happiness and joy. Always be and stay positive and let the good times roll. What you long for and worked hard for will come.
All in all, positive attracts positive, so take out the negative.
