When are you going to actually live your life instead of numbly going through the motions looking for every possible distraction to escape reality? What if your reality — your life — could finally be something that you can’t wait to be conscious for?

Who you spend your time with may be the single most determining factor in the person you become and in your quality of life. If you are surrounded with lazy, weak-minded, excuse-making people, you’ll inevitably become like them. Spend time with positive, successful achievers and inevitably their attitudes and successful habits will reflect on you. You’ll become more and more like them.
