Surround yourself with people who are only going to lift you higher

Do you surround yourself with the right people? Those that give you energy, motivation and a lust for life? Or do you perhaps have energy thieves around you who unconsciously absorb your energy and leave you powerless, unmotivated and just tired...
Sometimes you might have people that are close and you love, but who, due to various circumstances do not push you in the right direction. You may not have the same goals or aspirations, and want to pull in different directions, but you end up in a gray and gloomy position that is not good for anyone?
Sometimes you have to have the courage to think about whether the life you live makes you happy. If yes, keep it going, but if it's a maybe, or even a no, then it's probably time to start considering some changes. Live your life for yourself and nobody else.
A great secret behind keeping motivated is to surround yourself with those who can cheer on when needed, lift and drag, and say the right things. Find those people and stick to them.
