Distance yourself from negative people who try to lower your motivation and decrease your ambition. Create space for positive people to come into your life. Surround yourself with positive people who believe in your dreams, encourage your ideas, support your ambitions, and bring out the best in you.

About This Quote

The words of this quote come from Victor Hugo and he wrote: “Distance yourself from negative people who try to lower your motivation and decrease your ambition. Create space for positive people to come into your life. Surround yourself with positive people who believe in your dreams, encourage your ideas, support your ambitions, and bring out the best in you.” Does anyone want to put that into practical terms? If you are in a situation where you feel like you don’t have it in you to take on a new project or idea, you are likely surrounded by negative people who are trying to make you feel bad about yourself, discourage you from pursuing your goals, or convince you that there is no point in doing anything when failure will surely follow.
