Loser company? Loser life.

Winner company? Winner life.

The people around you are either lifting you up or dragging you down.

There’s no middle ground.

It’s better to be alone than in bad company. Be selective about who you allow to be next to you.

You don’t need a big circle. You need a focused one.

Be around positive people who obsess over progress.

If you want to reach the next level, start by rethinking who’s sitting at your table.

I want to master myself. I work every single day for that. I refuse to be around mediocrity.

That is why I built Mastery Mode, to grow a community of like minded people who seek growth in life.

When you surround yourself with winners, all you know is victory.

🢒 Insight

The world is full of bullsh*t distractions that will eventually bring you down if you fall for them.

You need to constantly put effort into holding yourself to a high standard.

This becomes easier when you surround yourself with people who are also trying to win and rise to their best version.

They will bring energy, inspiration, and accountability into your life. They don’t just motivate you — they hold you to that higher standard you set.

When you fall - which happen to the best of us - they will help you to get back up, encourage you and nourish your mind to keep going.

In our circle we need to learn and grow with each other. Always keep the momentum going.

Consider athletes training for the Olympics. They don’t practice with amateurs. They surround themselves with others who share their obsession with becoming the best, pushing each other to reach peak performance.

BE AROUND WHO WANTS TO WIN!

Be around people who lift you up, not those who put you down.

Be around people who value self-improvement, not those who are complacent.

Be around people who encourage your dreams, not those who dismiss them.

Be around people who are disciplined and focused, not those who waste time.

Be around people who are optimistic and forward-thinking, not those who are cynical and pessimistic.

Now think about your life. Are you around winners or letting mediocrity slip into your circle?

🢒 Actionable Step

Here’s a few things that you can do to assess the company you keep and be sure you surround yourself with like minded individuals:

1. Audit Your Circle: Think of the people you spend the most time with. Reflect on how they impact your mindset, habits, and goals. What do they add to your life?

2. Seek Out Growth-Minded Communities: Consume content that elevate you. Be around communities of people obsessed with winning. Join my FREE Telegram channel with daily mindful messages.

3. Cut the Dead Weight: If someone consistently brings negativity, drama, or complacency into your life, it may be time to enforce your boundaries and distance yourself.

4. Be the Winner You Want to Attract: Focus on your growth and energy. Real recognize real, so elevate yourself to attract the right people.

Be detached. People come and go in life. That’s the truth. Sometimes you will distance yourself from someone, sometimes people will distance themselves from you.

Learn to let go. I know it’s hard, especially if you built a strong connection to someone, but you don’t have a choice. It’s what it’s. Like who like you. Appreciate who appreciates you. Real recognize real.

You can either hang around people who sabotage your potential or those who help you reach it. I choose the latter.
