“Life is an echo. What you send out, comes back. What you sow, you reap.”
I know we have all heard similar sayings as this throughout our lives. And it is something that I have come to learn is absolutely accurate. The energy we put out into the world around us definitely returns tenfold. So, what does this mean in the sense of relationship building?
Basically, your vibe attracts your tribe! So the question that lies before us is whether your current tribe bringing your joy or drama? If the answer is leaning more toward drama rather than positive energy and support, it is time to raise your positive vibrations.
We do this through 5 key steps of transformation.
Gain an understanding of self & the impact you have on others.
Self reflection and evaluation is pivotal in understanding who you are and who/what you want to be. We have to learn to be real with ourselves in order to correct our own mishaps in our lives. This is a practice that for me has been ingrained in my mindset since my college days at Alverno here in Milwaukee, WI. From day 1, it was instilled into all us students the power of self reflection. This is a tool that does not only take into account the shiny medals were earn in our life, but also allows us to highlight our shortcomings as well. Being realistic and acknowledging the shortcomings allows for us to pivot to do better as we continue to progress every single day.
Learn to acknowledge & practice gratitude daily
There is one thing that I have learned in my life that made me a believe in this step. You literally can block your own blessings by constantly complaining and never thanking God, the Most-high, your personal deity, the universe, etc. Be thankful for everyday that you woke up, there is someone who didn't. Be thankful for the job you have, there is someone struggling to just work. Be thankful for every aspect of your current state of existence, without it you can not move to the next level. See this as your ground floor.
Become who you want to attract to you
Okay, so this one is a major player in this transformation. If you want to be a member of the #MillionaireCircle, its time to start carrying yourself as if you are already in the circle. Studying the practices and habits of those who are living the life you want. And no I don't mean start spending money like crazy or anything like that, lol. But follow them on social networks, study what they have shared for their personal daily habits, invest in yourself wisely. A good starting point that actually helped me greatly in redefining myself is this Buzzfeed video on different Morning and Night routines for some of the most influential CEO's to date. *Feel free to check it out some time by clicking the above link.
Protect yourself from negative people
Negative energy just weighs us down, even more so when we allow others to dispatch their negative onto us. Unfortunately. as we start to shift the direction of our lives it becomes imperative that we also remove people from our lives who are constant negative. I am not saying stop talking to someone because they are going through a rough patch. But if the people around you never have anything positive to impart onto you or you find yourself living as their emotional punching bag it is time to severe ties with them. Never allow anyone to have this type of control over your happiness or to suck the joy out of you.
Provide value to receive value
Finally, all relationships should be based on a system of give and take. Nothing of substance is one-sided. To give the best version of yourself, it is key that you invest in yourself. Crave out time to practice personal development, become a subject matter expert, etc. Put out to the world something that is unique to you whether it is a skill, a testament, or strategy. Allow an avenue where those around you have the opportunity to be better for having interacted with you, As with the laws of nature, life is a boomerang. What you give you to shall receive.
