2024-08-01 - Choose your tribe wisely
- https://moissa.substack.com/p/choose-your-tribe-wisely
- Five types of people to surround oneself with:
- a) The Relentless Over-Achiever: pushes us to improve
- b) The Natural Born Optimist: lifts our mood and perspective
- c) The Unconditional Giver of Love: provides support and boosts self-esteem
- d) Virtual Teachers: offer wisdom through books, media, and stories
- e) Our Higher Self: achieved through solitude and introspection
- People around us affect us. Proactively choose the circle around us. Avoid toxic people. I think it is easier said than done. Forceful people do push their way into our circle leaving us not much of control.
- My Response: Great post. I love it when you give list of things to internalize and remember. I have a print-out of the ‘6 non-negotiable daily rituals’ that you wrote a while ago on my wall. I guess you’re person #4 (Virtual Teacher) in the list for many like me across the world. Thank you.
