Seek and attract mentors

Move toward people who support you. We thrive when we are with people who are like us. Who like us. Who are similar to us...who have similar goals and dreams...If you are around people right now who do not share the goals you have...get away from them. I know it's hard. You may think it's impossible. You may think it's too hard. You may think you are stuck. You may feel controlled. These people you are presently around really want you to stay, because they don't have the confidence in themselves to be okay with you leaving, and be happy that you are on your way to a better life; they are afraid of change. They are just used to the same reality. They don't know what they want--they are reactive. They are not proactive like you are. You may feel very anxious about leaving. You may even rationalize that moving away is not the right think to do, based on how you feel. You may feel scared. You have to do it though. Get away from them, because they won't change if you try to educate them on how to be better people. If you are hopeless about leaving, I've got a solution for you. It's called reprogramming your subconscious mind. Brain re-training. When you do, it will make the difference. It will enable you to do what it takes to get out of your present situation. It will tip the scales. It will make you just confident enough that you will take the action that you know consciously you should take. They will complain, they will try to convince you to stay, they will come up with reasons that you won't make it on your own, that there's no hope for you. Use all the power that's within you to focus on what you want. Focus on yourself and what truly makes you happy. You must do what's right for you. Don't think about other people. They are most likely not thinking about what they want. They are stuck in mediocrity. Move away from these people...and find new people who you want to be like. Seek the best people you can. Have standards that the people who you associate with must meet. Don't settle for anything less. You won't want to anyway, because you know what happens when you do. Assume that getting what you want is possible. Focus on what you want, and maintain those images in your mind. Make a movie out of them. Add in sounds and smells...include all the five senses...experience how it feels to be playing the lead role in that movie. You're the star of the show. Everyone is applauding.
