Where do you meet ambitious people?

[dilooska]

You are more ambitious than your friends.

Great!

But are you ambitious enough to become my friend?

My point is that finding new friends that have the same interests is fine. Rejecting people because you think you are better is not fine.

And if you believe that you do something better, inspire them with your actions and results.

Be a reflection of what you would like to see in others. (this is one of my favorites quotes)

If you want to get inspired by people, inspire people. If you want respect, give respect.

thank you for your comment TheGreek.

I absolutely agree with you, if you want something, you must be willing to give it first.
And believe me, I've tried. A lot. I tried to inspire my friends and my ex partner almost a year. but they really didn't want to change. they didn't want to grow. and my growth even disturbed them.

There is a great quote I love by Jim Rohn: ''Good people are found, not changed.''

I hope I could express myself correctly!

Ok, I understand the problem and why you used these words. I had the same problem in the beginning.

My friends started talking behind my back when they realized I would not find another job. They just wanted me to fail and give up. When I had some results, I could not wait to tell them and prove them wrong. They couldn't handle it, and it was the end of our friendship. I had a girlfriend but broke up with her as well.

They still wait for me to fail, but they just fuel my motivation.

What I learned from this experience is that my friends were not real friends. They said that they know me and worry about me, but it really means that they believed they could control me and are upset because they can't.

However, I have made friends with 9-5 jobs that are ok with what I do in the last years.

wow, I feel happy that I wasn't the only one. yes, exactly like you said, they just fuel my motivation too.

I also have made some corporate level friends with whom I share with on a different level. but right now, I need more references of ambitious people in my environment. I want it. I was influenced by average people my whole life and that's one of the biggest reasons that I lived an average life for a long time. that was enough, and now I want to be influenced by ambitious, go-getter, and successful people

You've probably heard it at least a few times before: you're the average of the five people you spend the most time with. Personally, I can't stand hearing it in every single article about being successful, but there's some truth in it. Social influence is real - we tend to behave in a similar...
