‘Surround Yourself with People that Inspire You’ – Dr John Demartini

Posted by John Lee of YourBestYouEver.net

‘You’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with.’

THAT’S the widely-accepted observation, famously made by the late entrepreneur, author and motivational speaker, Jim Rohn.

And few would argue that our beliefs, actions and behaviors go uninfluenced by those around us on a habitual basis.  

Dr John Demartini

 That’s all well and good if those people are positive, upbeat, high achievers who always encourage us to aim higher and higher, too.

Generally speaking, of course, they’re pretty much the same as we are, which is why we tend to be around one another in the first place.

So what if you want to, ‘Move things up another level’?

Well, best selling author, international educator, public speaker and star of, ‘The Secret’ Dr John Demartini has some great advice in the video below.

He tells of the people who influenced and inspired him personally; one of whom was a two times Nobel Prize Winner.

He explains why people who really want to achieve surround themselves with the finest, greatest and most magnificent creations on earth.

And he reveals how you, too, can expand your vision and opportunity, and, ‘Give yourself permission to play in a bigger field’.

The Dirty Little Secret of High Performers

By Darren Hardy of 'SUCCESS' Magazine

I think that you'll find this fact shocking:

Most high-performing achievers are lazy.

Darren Hardy - author & publisher of SUCCESS Magazine

Yes, LAZY - but they had big dreams and big goals.

To achieve them, they forced disciplines, routines and rituals on themselves.

Ultimately, then they produced much, much more than people who didn't have the same weaknesses but failed to proactively and aggressively build these important discipline systems into their lives.

If you don't believe me, flip on SportsCenter, where you'll see that some of the most accomplished athletes of all time - renowned for their strict eating habits, grueling fitness programs and intense training schedules, and now retired (goals accomplished) - have reverted to their more “natural” behavior, habits and discipline.

Former National Basketball Association stars Michael Jordan, Larry Bird and Charles Barkley quickly come to mind (more, more, more).

And me?

Most people think I'm one of the most disciplined and consistent people they've ever known. Which I am.

But I confess that I am naturally quite lazy.

If you question that, just ask my wife.

I've had to work at building in the systems, rituals, routines and processes to, well, really, protect myself from myself.

That's why I'm so good at teaching these systems - because I'm my own neediest client!

I am intensely disciplined in the areas of my life in which I really want results, improvement and success.

Outside those areas, well, not as much. I didn't realize this dichotomy until I started to see the same reality in über-successful people I know and have interviewed.

Outside their areas of focus, where they've built in routines and proactively developed habits, they're not as disciplined or hardworking as you'd expect.

You can take away two great insights from learning this dirty little secret about high achievers:

1) The success of those you admire has less to do with their inborn talent, intelligence, nature or any other gift, and is more dependent on the processes for creating and reinforcing successful habits that they built into their lives and environments.

And, 2), even if you are lazy, you can become a superstar success! In fact, it might become your advantage!
