The Power of Associating With Like-Minded Folks

There is almost a sensual longing for communion with others who have a large vision. The immense fulfillment of the friendship between those engaged in furthering the evolution of consciousness has a quality impossible to describe. – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

If you want to do better, to do great things in your life, you must hang out with people who want to do better too, who are doing great things in their lives.

Get around them. Find ways to be of service to those people – become part of their circle by earning their attention and good will.

Become one of those people.
