The people around you either energize you or drain you. Seek out more "batteries" who inspire and motivate, and cut ties with "vacuums" who leave you depleted. Your community shapes your growth.
Chapters
So you've got to be really careful who you surround yourself with. I always say there's two types of people in this world. There's batteries and then there's vacuums. Batteries are people that when you spend time with them, you feel more energized, you're more excited about your life, you feel motivated, and you feel inspired to do more. Vacuums, on the other hand, are people who suck energy from you. They're people that you can spend three minutes with, and you feel like you're completely drained after being around them. And if I gave you the biggest tip, it would be to find more batteries in your life and spend more time with them and get rid of the people who are vacuums in your life. Because your energy is so important, your community around you is so important. And you need to realize that if someone is sucking the energy from you and making you feel worse about yourself, you need to get rid of them. And you just spend more time with people who inspire you and make you want to be better in this world.
