From the person who cut you off in traffic to the person you come home to at night, we affect one another.
So why wouldn’t you want to put the best people in your life?
That’s people freedom and here’s how to achieve it.
1 - Understand The Power of People Freedom
For many people, it’s actually not a choice. A lot of people are stuck (and unhappy) with the people in their lives.
Worse, they think this is the way it has to be. Nope.
You can have people freedom. You deserve it, because life is short.
That’s the power of people freedom.
2 - Decide You Want It
Deciding is the concrete step that puts you on the path to success.
Once you decide that people freedom is indeed worth your peace of mind, then your whole outlook changes.
There’s the life you have now, with the people imposed upon you by life and work and other things that don’t care about you. And then there’s the life that awaits you, surrounded by people that you put there.
And the turning point, is deciding.
3 - Change Your Environment
Environmental psychology is the study of how our environments affect our moods and ability to think!
Changing your environment is a great way to gain people freedom.
In your new environment, you’ll meet new people that can help you unlock your full potential.
Each environment (whether its work, the beach or some social club) brings a certain type of person to it. So find out what those people can be to you by changing your environment.
4 - Seek a new opportunity
It’s time to seek a new opportunity. Only you can know what that looks like.
Take your workplace. As an employee, you’re at the mercy of whoever is doing the hiring. They pick the team. They pick the players. Sometimes they even pick exactly who is sitting next to you.
That’s too much to leave to chance. Be your own boss. Seek new opportunities.
Find the people you were meant to have in your life.
5 - Be With Others
If you do find yourself in a situation where you’re surrounded by people that you know aren’t doing you any good, resist the temptation to retreat. Instead, be with others.
That instinct to socialize isn’t what’s wrong. It’s the sacrificing our own joy that’s the problem. When you put other people ahead of your feelings, you’re bound to be let down.
So instead of disengaging, move forward. Be with others in new situations to find the right people that align with your values.
Be with others to learn about yourself and your boundaries. Where are the areas of your life that you’ve become complacent? How can others inspire you to break through?
