There are a lot of choices that we have to make in life. But what's more important, is the ones that affect you as a person and there are 3 of it.
1) People you choose to be with.
Like the saying, "Birds of a feather, flock together". Who you choose to mix and associate with, will determine your habits, behaviors, beliefs and mindsets.
If you're born in an environment where no one speaks English, you won't learn it as you believe it's useless since no one is using that language. Likewise if people whom you mix around with are lazy or have poor financial knowledge, you'll also tend to follow their habits just because you're following those people!
In order to succeed, you must surround yourself with successful individuals and people with aspirations for success.
If you want to lose weight, find a friend who exercises. Not only do you have someone with a same goal/interest, you'll also be motivated/requested/forced for that matter to exercise whenever you feel lazy! By mixing with someone who is also lazy, what you'll learn is to become more lazy and gain even more weight!
2) What you Choose to think.
You are what you think! If you think that life is hard, then life will be hard! If you think you'll succeed, then you'll succeed! It's that simple!
Now what this does isn't by chance. And to be honest, it is the thought that controls your actions which create your outcome. Simply believing doesn't work! You can think for 24hours in a couch, "I will lose weight!" But without anything done, nothing will happen.
Never give yourself a negative preconceived answer about something. Evidence is given to ourselves in our mind. If you believe you can be rich, you give yourself those evidence that support that thinking and begin taking action instead of shutting off without trying.
As an example, there might be a time whereby you are alone in the dark and you start to feed yourself with thoughts that a ghost is behind you. You even pictured that ghost in your mind, how it looks and what it is doing. And you'll start to find evidence that supports the the thought such as water dripping, strong winds, creaking doors, or footsteps which has nothing to with ghosts if you hadn't think that way in the first place.
3) Dreams you choose to have.
Having big dreams is like having a purpose in life. Nothing is worse than living with no meaning. Everyone will experience it, including myself. Using a metaphor to explain, we are all in a car and life is the road. Without a destination, one which you cannot wait to arrive at will cause you to go nowhere and eventually stop.
Having a big dream or a desirable location allows you to move on the road of life with energy and focus! Even when you're stopping to rest, you can't wait to wake up every single day empowered and move towards that direction!
So these are the 3 things you have to carefully choose to give yourself.
Choose the right partners, friends, social circle, etc.
Choose the right thoughts, mindset, beliefs, etc.
Choose the right dreams, goals, purpose in life, etc.
