There are celebrities, people in the world of
fashion and entertainment, and even the everyday “15 minutes of fame-ers” who
keep large networks. I wonder sometimes,
what is that network really worth? What
good does it do to know/be familiar with so many people/have so many followers
if they have no value to your life and you are not adding any to theirs? It is not functional. Don’t get me wrong, actual networking is
great, but social association (for the hell of it) is slightly overrated. It’s even worse when you THINK you are
connected but find out that you are really the butt of the joke. People are being
nice to you to get to someone else or using your connect to add
some light to their shade (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram beef).
The bottom line:
you may be climbing your mountain of success alone. Sure you have encouragers but there are very
few who are taking steps and tackling the terrain with you. The time will come when you will need a break or to drop
some people. Simply leave them
at the foot of the mountain. It may not be easy to move forward without them, but it also won’t be
easy if you have on hiking boots
and they are wearing flip-flops. Watch
your circle, your network, and those who have influence and access to your
life. Be conscious of where you are
going and where they are taking you. Greater
can’t be achieved by leaving your dreams behind. #moutainclimber #thatswhereEAGLESlive
