Find Yourself a Cheerleader…With an EGO as big as yours!

“Surround yourself only with people who are going to lift you higher.” -Oprah Winfrey

“If you DON’T WANT anything for me, I AIN’T GOT NOTHING for you.” -A.L. Patterson III

We all know at least one person in our lives whose infinite belief in us was so strong that we felt we could succeed at anything. Grandparent, parent, spouse, friend, mentor – this person’s words of encouragement probably helped you achieve goals you may not have fathomed possible. Spend time with people who will motivate you to strive for greatness. Surround yourself with people who will build you up, not tear you down.

* Support can come from unlikely places. Open yourself to the possibility that people outside your inner circle may become your loudest cheerleader.

* Take a personal inventory of the people in your life. Is there someone who always puts a negative spin on your day? If so, tactfully discuss your feelings; this person may not be aware of her behavior. If that doesn’t work, remove them from your list of friends and associates.

EGO and all,
~Sonja
