Learn to help yourself first.

Self-mastery and the expression of your individuality is initially a lonely journey. Nobody will tell you what’s between you and the person you want to be. Either you will achieve it by yourself, or you will not.

1. Learn to protect your peace and your energy.
   No one will do it for you.

2. Assume 100% responsibility for your life and the people you choose to be around.
   Be extremely selective with the people you allow to be part of your inner circle.

3. Be around people that make you feel good about yourself.
   For example, if you’re destined for greatness, you might find yourself around people that hate you for being focused and energetic. They will try to make you feel bad about your goals. Distance yourself from these types of people.
