20. Navigate your surroundings

Navigate your surrounding. The most magical and successful launchings in my life have been when I believe beyond any outside doubt and when others believed in me beyond my internal doubt. When you surround yourself with people who genuinely believe in you and those you believe in, magic happens beyond their own beliefs and yours.

You have a gift of choice, and in that power, you can choose to ignite others and serve. You can also choose to surround yourself with people who push you forward in positive, exciting ways.

Where you focus your energy and vision is where you go that includes who you surround yourself with. If you surround yourself with people who drag you down constantly, question your internal beliefs, and question who you know you are inside, then you will lower yourself to meet them.

BUT if you surround yourself with people who believe in you even when you don't believe in yourself, they give honest feedback that inspires you and lifts you. Up then, imagine where you will go! AND if you surround yourself with those you believe in and you can be the one who lifts them higher, imagine the community you would have.

You can create this community. You have the choice to surround yourself with these people, to listen to them to allow them to inspire the truth of who you know you are, no matter what is happening outside of you.

I know this because I have had the gift of these people in my life. I continue to choose to let go of those who choose not to believe in me and instead surround myself with people sho not matter what. Even if we disagree at the core, we see each other for the gifts we are in each others' lives and never let that go.
