Associate yourself with the person you would like to be connected with.
If you want to be thought of as an energetic person, exude energy in your actions. Let people see for themselves how you are "full of vitality". Ok, that's obvious; but people often forget to "act accordingly."
More importantly, the words you speak will have a big influence in the way people will perceive you.
Talk about wealth all the time and people will associate you with wealth. Talk about goalsetting often and people will perceive you as a goalsetting authority.
So what you need to do is know everything you can about what you want people to associate you with, then talk about it often. Don't just talk about it, flaunt it! BE IT! Express it through your actions and behavior.
On the other hand, if you often talk about your poor situation or how you hate your life, people will see you as a whiner who puts yourself down. They would avoid you to save themselves from catching your "disease," unless they feel the same way as you do.
As you know, "Birds of the same feather flock together." People want to be with people who are similar (in thought or behavior) to themselves.
But that doesn't mean that if you have been used to be in the company of negative people, you are stuck in the rut forever. You can still change anything.
Remember, you are the master of your destiny and life. You can get whatever you want.
If you want to be successful, be friends with successful people and associate with them often. In time, you will subconsciously attract their aura, their mindset, their personality into your own.
If you're not comfortable being with them, take it little by little. Some peole would feel awkward or belittled when they're in the company of "bigger" people. But let me ask you..
"Are you serious in becoming successful?"
If you are, then do it, even if just one step at a time. Don't let fear stop you from attaining your fullest potentials in life.
Maybe you can ask them if they would like to join you for dinner, or ask them for advice on a certain topic. People who know a certain topic would be very happy to share their knowledge and "show off." I do mean that in a positive way.
Better yet, apply the Law of Reciprocity. Think of ways in which you can do something nice for them. But don't expect anything from them; or worse, demand that they return the favor. Just do your thing and let them decide for themselves if they want to return the favor.
What about those negative people you've been hanging out with? Well, don't trash them. That's going to hurt your relationships.
Just try to avoid them as much as you can and focus on improving your life. Learn to be a human filter by blocking all negative words or thoughts from entering your subconscious. The key word is focus. Focus on the positive, eliminate the negative.
And why not influence negative people to acquire your positive personality? Once you've acquired that success mindset, share your knowhow and aura with those who need it. That would be a very noble act indeed.
The comment I hear most frequently from business people is that they feel stressed at work are they are constantly playing the game of "catch up." But there are ways to get it all done without being overwhelmed. You are probably thinking, "But you don't understand the phone never stops, on the spot decisions, immediate tasks." But I do understand and these are sadly the realities of business.
However, a little preplanning and goal setting can help ease the daily pressures and allow you additional time each day; as much as an hour - and relieve a whole lot of stress. It boils down to you being more in control of how your day goes, and not being controlled by the situations that hit you.
Start by Identifying and writing down your goals, both short and long term. You may have already done this several times but do you ever accomplish them in a timely manner?
The next step is to schedule your time. The question is then, how do you plan your time to accomplish goals when you are under the gun with crises, deadlines and interruptions? Start with a daily "to do" list, which identifies the uncompleted tasks required to meet each goal.
Next, prioritize those tasks in order of which must be accomplished first. We sometimes are so caught up in the urgent matters of the day that we fail to schedule time to undertake the important tasks that will lead us to our goals.
Set aside some time each day to address these tasks, take about an hour of quite time to work out your tasks and to plan. Find the most creative and productive time for you and use this time wisely. Let phone calls go to voice mail to be returned later. This time should be treated as an appointment and treat as any other business commitment you may have. It gives you the sense of being in control of where you are going, and that you are taking the positive steps to get there. If circumstances arise that infringe on your quiet time, and surely at some time they will, reschedule for later in the day. You will soon realize the importance of having this quiet time.
Take 10 minutes at the end of each day to plan for tomorrow. Identify and prioritize tasks that are necessary to reach your goals on a daily "to do" list. However, be careful not to commit every minute, but allow flexibility for the unexpected and urgent events that surely will occur, and it also allows you to reschedule your quiet time if necessary.
After putting these steps in place you will be surprised at how less stressful your day will seem and it stands to reason that the less stressed you are the more productive you will be.
