HOW TO ATTRACT VALUABLE PEOPLE INTO YOUR LIFE

I have a friend who is quite well to do financially. I remember in our early days of friendship, whenever we talked, the way he talked if you didn't understand him, you would think he's arrogant or proud.

While I was not as well to do as he was, I never misconstrued the things he shared with me. In fact, I welcomed them, listened carefully, and enjoyed every bit of our conversations.

See, I was in an intentional process of working on my money/financial mindset at the time. So, I was like a sponge, soaking in all he had to say because I knew I had so much to learn from him if I was going to get to where I wanted to be financially.

I never argued, I just listened and learned. Sometimes, on the other end of the phone, I was taking notes.

Days, months, and years have gone by and I've since realized my money mindset has changed a lot because of our friendship, and other people like him in my life.

His mindset has rubbed off on me. Now, we think alike financially, whereas, at the beginning, it was not so.

Why am I sharing this with you? For three reasons...

1. The people you move with determines what you attract or repel in your life.

If you move with the right people, you will attract the right things and develop the right mindset. If you move with the wrong people, you will also attract the wrong things and the wrong mindset, and it's only a matter of time, you'd be doomed.

2. No one is better than you, they are only doing better.

So, when you meet people who are doing better than you, grab your pen and journal, it's a season of learning. You will do yourself a disservice trying to compete with them or become jealous or envious of them.

Whatever price you need to pay to glean from them and be in their presence/circle, please pay it. One hour with such people can save you one year of stress and hustling.

3. Be intentional about working on your mindset every single day.

This will help you become intentional about the people you meet. You immediately know who should mentor you, who should be your friend, and who you should mentor too.

This will also help you in developing yourself into a person of value capable of attracting other valuable people too.

I believe in you.

Picture an eagle in a cage. No matter how beautiful the cage is, the eagle was not designed to live in a cage. It was designed to soar on the highest heights and mountains with courage and flair. No matter the lure of the cage, it can never surpass the freedom of the eagle soaring in all expanse of the skies in all of its glories and strength. Like the eagle trapped, too many brilliant, gifted, called individuals are trapped in the cage of careers they were not designed for. They can never command their true worth and value, they can only eat the crumbs they are being fed by their captors. The lure of salaries and pennies that will never satisfy keeps them in such cages. They would rather remain in the rat race than take the risks for their freedom and glory. The Bible says, "If the Son (Jesus) sets you free, you will be free indeed." - John 8:36 As a child of God, you can break free! You were not designed to be caged! Any job that does not give you the freedom to express your gifts, talents and calling is a cage. One of the biggest graveyards of purpose I see is this graveyard of unfulfilling careers. People get jobs only for the sake of earning, rather than fulfilling their life's calling and pursuing what matters to them. But here's the truth: The careers you were not designed for will not satisfy you. They will leave you with voids and emptiness. At the end of your career, you would lack true legacy, influence and impact. Your time to break free is now. I believe in you. Dr Samuel Ekundayo
