It can also be a gentle nudge to get off the pity party train, or a reminder that complaining and excuses will get you nowhere.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What you think is what you are&#8221; can even change your life.\u00a0The truth is, we do become become what we think. See yourself as a professional, and you\u2019ll behave professionally. Think of yourself as a creative person, and you\u2019ll be open to following creative paths.

They can create a positive atmosphere where creativity can flourish or they can keep you mired far below your potential. You can choose thoughts that help you grow, and you can choose to deflect thoughts (your own or others\u2019) that keep you stuck.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Have you chosen your companions wisely?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s been said that an individual\u2019s happiness and success measures at the average level of the happiness and success of the ten people with whom he or she spends the most time.<\/p>\n<p>If you aren\u2019t surrounded by people who are loving, positive, learning, growing, creating, and living the kind of life you want to live, be sure that you\u2019re finding good companions in the books you read and the media you listen to or watch.
