Dr Robert Anthony was apparently one of the first people invited to appear in the hit movie, ‘The Secret’, which probably brought self-help and the much-discussed ‘Law of Attraction’ to more people around the world than ever before. Yet he turned down the offer, with no regrets.
He’s spent 30 years unravelling the mysteries of the human mind, earning a Ph.D. in behavioural psychology and working as a psychotherapist, NLP practitioner, master hypnotist and personal performance trainer.
He’s also created some of the finest personal development products on the market, in my opinion, including the ‘Self Confidence Creator’, ‘Deliberate Creation Instant Self Hypnosis’ and ‘The Secret Of Deliberate Creation’.
But what I really like about Robert Anthony is that he regularly offers eye-opening insights and information – without expecting anything in return – through regular emails that come past customers such as me.
And I just wanted to share one that recently dropped into my inbox on the subject of who you spend your time with and how they – quite innocently – affect your thoughts, behaviours and success in whatever you may be aiming for. So I’ll simply repeat the email here and hope you find it useful:
“Here is something that I find holds most people back from achieving the riches they deserve, but it is one of the most difficult things to change. It concerns relationships.
As you expand and grow, so will your relationships. When you choose to become great, people around you will line up in force to convince you to stay where you are and keep you stuck. Not because they are bad. They're not. It's because they value security and dislike uncertainty.
If your objective is to vibrate at a higher level and attract higher and higher results in your life, you will find it difficult, if not impossible to do so, if everything around you is reinforcing the contrary.
If you look at the people you are close to and they are not going in the same direction, or at least not supporting you in the direction you are going, then they are most likely not thinking the things you are thinking or doing the things you are doing. They will hold you back, plain and simple. If you want to grow you must surround yourself with like-minded people.

Are you spending time with people who support you and are helping you move toward your intentions? Or, are you investing your time and energy with people who are holding you back?
This was a hard lesson for me to learn. At one point in my life I tried to "ration lies" in my mind that I could still surround myself with the same people that I had outgrown. I tried to make it work, but in my heart I knew they were bringing me down to a level where I was no longer comfortable.
I decided I no longer wanted to spend high quality time with people I didn't want to be around. It wasn't easy, but I have never regretted it. I started spending time with people who aspired to values, traits and accomplishments similar to mine. It wasn't long before I had new friends who supported who I was becoming and where I was going. It is without a doubt one of the most empowering things I have done.
Just accept that when you choose to pursue your greatness that your peer group doesn't possess, they will try to stop you or slow you down. Surround yourself with people who share the vibrations that you are giving to the universe and you will find that you will achieve your dreams and desires much faster and much easier.
Today will bring you a new awareness, a lesson or a manifestation that you are making progress - IF YOU LOOK FOR IT! No matter how large or small, please record it in your Evidence Journal. It will only take a few moments and will AUTOMATICALLY put you in the Flow.
Truly Caring for Your Success!
Dr. Robert Anthony"
