I AM SELFISH I think we spend to much time holding the opinions of others in high regard. We tend to forget that our main responsibility is to ourselves and our family. We end up taking opinions and comments to heart from those that have no interest or bearing in our day to day lives. Why is that? I think a part of that is because we fail to filter the people we associate with. By failing to do so, all opinions will eventually hold the same merit, weather its someone you care about or some jackass off the street…it all becomes much the same. All opinions and comments are taken into consideration. I am very particular of who I associate myself with and who I take opinions from. In fact, I am crystal clear of my connections and have them in numerical order. 1) My immediate Family… wife and kids. PERIOD. (#’s 2 & 3 only hold merit if #1 is ok with it). 2) Coaches and mentors I pay to give me their opinion. 3) My agents and close friends That’s it! No one else. As rude as it may sound, my loyalty is only to those that fall nothing short of complimenting my life. Why? Because that is what I am committed to in my relationships. I will only continue the relationships if they continue to add value and are committed to expansion in all elements of their lives. I don’t expect anyone to continue to be in a relationship with me If I choose not to offer the same. It’s not selfish, its knowing what I want. I refuse to be in a relationship when they choose not to expand as a person. I am in relationships with those who choose: To have dynamic conversations. To bring solutions not just problems. To support my core values. To be positive. To accept me unconditionally. To challenge me as a person. To share share dreams, goals, and ambitions. To expand in all elements of life. And most importantly, to take action on things that they say they are going to do. A choice to stop growing is a choice to end our relationship. At which point your thoughts and opinions will hold ZERO value to me. It’s not cruel. It’s not sad. It’s not selfish. It’s a choice! I know what I want. The greater disservice is to waste your talents, energy, and time on those individuals that don’t appreciate you or your passion to expand. A.Z. Araujo #empirevision #makeyourmove
