Have you ever failed repeatedly and you just want to give up? It's tough, right? Nothing is more depressing than facing a challenge that you can't seem to win. Your will just seem to dissipate with every try. Then you give up.

I want to touch on one factor that might be the possible reason for this repeated failure, and it's not mainly inside of you. It's your community.

Why community? Community controls what we learn and the reach of our minds. A bad community will steer you towards a more negative self-image while a good community can do wonders to your success.

One of the reasons for repeated failure is having no community or a bad community.

First, our smallest form of community is with ourselves. A community of one. We talk and listen to ourselves more than anyone else. Your thoughts have more influence on you and than anyone else. So protect your mind.

A bad community maybe just as bad or worse. Think of a community as like a ship and you're the passenger on that ship. As long as you are on that ship, you can't control where you go, so you have to pick the right ship. A ship with a destination that you want to go to.

Look around yourself and see if you are surrounding yourself with great encouragement for your mind.

Question for You - Where do you want to be socially?
