Success by Association: The Power of Your Circle

Belgium Horses. The strongest horses on the planet. The average Belgium horse can pull between 12,000-14,000 pounds, and to start off, I offer a quick little math problem for you.

If one Belgium Horse can pull 12,000-14,000 pounds, how much weight do you think two could pull together?

For all you math geniuses that guessed 24,000-28,000 pounds… you are incorrect.

Your math was correct, you just got it wrong because you tried to use traditional logic to answer the question.

The beautiful thing that happens when you pair two Belgium horses together is that they are willing to over-exert themselves in order to set the pace over one another, thus being able to pull 35,000 pounds. 

In life sometimes you can find yourself in unfavorable positions, and it’s never too late to better yourself, whether you are 16 or 60. If you find yourself in a rut, examine your surroundings and take over your controllables.

Do you want to learn a skill or business? Surround yourself by those who are already experienced in that field. Do they not take you serious enough? Get in shape and keep showing up consistently. Want a better job? Find the job you want and start connecting with those people. You are only one opportunity away from changing the trajectory of your life and all it takes is guts.

When it comes to who you spend your time with, this does not mean you have to completely cut people out of your life. Sometimes people just don’t have the same goals and they need to separate, and that can definitely be accomplished without burning bridges. Communicate your goals so they are clearly defined to yourself and to your peers. Those who are with you will make themselves known.

In a lot of cases, sometimes all it takes is for one person to become the Belgium horse and set the pace for the rest of the group. Constant competition will stimulate growth and ultimately set you apart in any realm you operate in.

It’s common to hear, but extremely true, that who you surround yourself with will often dictate the path your life takes. If you are unhappy with your position, it’s time to ask yourself…

Do you surround yourself with Belgium horses or settle for donkeys?

Final Thoughts/Opinions from the Writer

In today’s world, a lot of traditional media has a laser-focus on all of our differences when really, we all have much more in common than it seems. We all want to succeed, live a fulfilling life, and secure a future for our families but that doesn't have to come at a cost of others.

Focus on the positives and throw away the negativity in your life. 90% of reality is your own perceptions, so it is important to manifest good not only in your life, but the life of others.
