Surround Yourself With Positive People

I heard this lesson from Les

 

Life is a journey, and along the way, we often find ourselves walking alongside others. I heard Les Brown say, "When two people go for a walk, one of two things happen, either one has to slow down or the other one needs to speed up to keep up with each other,".  This beautifully encapsulates the dynamics of relationships. This saying holds particular significance for women over 40 who have experienced life's twists and turns.

 

Positive relationships are like a breath of fresh air, rejuvenating our spirits and giving us the strength to face life's challenges. When we walk alongside individuals who uplift us, we are more likely to be motivated, driven, and filled with positivity. These relationships can be with friends, family, mentors, or even new acquaintances. The key is to have people in your life who make you want to "speed up" to keep up with them, rather than slowing down due to negativity or complacency.

 

As women age, they often gain a unique perspective on life. They've weathered storms, overcome obstacles, and grown wiser with each passing year. This wisdom is a treasure trove of experiences that can be shared with others. However, it is equally important for women over 40 to recognize the significance of nurturing relationships that are uplifting and positive.

 

One of the most beautiful aspects of life is its ability to change and evolve. As we age, our interests, goals, and aspirations may transform. Surrounding ourselves with positive individuals who encourage us to embrace change can be liberating. These people motivate us to explore new passions, pursue dreams, and adapt to the evolving chapters of our lives.  But age can also sometimes bring insecurities and self-doubt, but positive relationships can work wonders in boosting confidence. When you have people in your life who believe in you and your abilities, you are more likely to have faith in yourself and your potential.

 

In the journey of life, the people we surround ourselves with play a significant role in shaping our experiences and perspectives. As women over 40, it's crucial to recognize the value of nurturing positive relationships that encourage personal growth, inspire confidence, and embrace change. When you walk alongside individuals who make you want to "speed up" to keep up with their positivity and motivation, you are not only enriching your own life but also creating a ripple effect of positivity that can touch the lives of others. So, let us choose our walking companions wisely and create a future filled with inspiration, motivation, and unwavering support.
