🌳 Accountability Tribes

The people you surround yourself with can either excel you or keep you trapped. They either bring you up with them or act as a poison that keeps you in a cycle of mediocrity. Many of you will already know this but don’t look within and analyse your own circle of friends.

SURROUND YOURSELF WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE

The people you surround yourself with can either excel you or keep you trapped.

They either bring you up with them or act as a poison that keeps you in a cycle of mediocrity. Many of you will already know this but don’t look within and analyse your own circle of friends. It’s also one of the hardest things to do. To analyse yourself and know that the people you hang around are taking energy away from you and providing nothing to your life and to cut them off is a painful sacrifice to make, but a necessary one.

Now this doesn’t mean cutting off anyone and everyone that doesn’t add physical value to your life as sometimes people add value to your life that doesn’t provide a return on investment such as happiness, safety, advice etc so instead of cutting them off, create new relationships with people that do add value to your life. People that can excel you, feed you energy and lift you up entirely. This ultimately means finding new people to surround yourself with but this can also be a difficult task and it all comes from putting yourself out there. This can be online, in communities, creating a social presence in order to attract like-minded people to you. You have to be creative and persistent.

You need to surround yourself with people that are going to stimulate, inspire and lift you up, who are going to give you energy and not take it away from you. If you’re around people that are taking energy away from you, they are an energy drain and that is a sign from your inner voice to let them go, and move on because if you don’t you’re only doing your future self a disservice. It’s important to make these minor sacrifices now in order for your future self to flourish.

Accountability Tribes are a fantastic way to excel yourself based on the people around you.

It is finding ‘Tribes’ of like-minded people that want the same outcome as you and have the same goals and visions. People that are on the same wavelength, that understand your problems and who can celebrate your wins alongside you. If you’re lucky enough to do this with your close group of friends then do it, hold each other accountable to whatever goals you have set out to achieve. This way you’re not only letting yourself down if you give up but also those around you. This shouldn’t add pressure but add a reason.

The realist people will make you feel uncomfortable at first and the fake people have the job of talking to make you feel comfortable.

ACTIONABLE NEXT STEPS:

Go out of your way to start finding like-minded people, join online groups or forums or explore the comments on videos of people that you aspire to be and you’re guaranteed to find others that do too.

TAKEAWAYS:

Your network is ultimately your net worth. Treat it as such.
