The 12 Types Of People You Should Surround Yourself With

Let’s be honest life can be tough. Sometime the people who you surround yourself with aren’t the best. In this post I will show you the 12 types of people you should surround yourself with. This year is a reminder that life is short and our time is limited, as cliche as that sounds. In these challenging pandemic times, it comes in handy to surround yourself with people who bring positivity and light into your life. You never know when you will need support or a helping hand. 

People can either lift you up or drain you. So before the year ends, I want you to stop and think about which people are really adding positivity and value into your life and which are not. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been best friends since childhood, or if it’s your partner, or someone in your family. If they’re toxic and bringing negativity in your life, it’s best to let them go. You have the power to choose who you want in your life, so pick wisely! 

Why It’s Important To Surround Yourself With Good People:

For starters you’re a product of your own environment, so you have to surround yourself with the best. If you surround yourself around people who don’t add value to your life or who are negative, their habits will naturally run off on you. On the other hand, good people bring high vibrations and positive energy. Their great personality traits are contagious and will translate into your life! They will also push you and make you realize your worth. The right people will only lift you higher by empowering you and helping you become the best version of yourself. 

Here are the 12 types of people you should surround yourself with and who can help you bring positivity and value into your life.

THE PASSIONATE

Passionate people have a taste for life and a strong drive for doing it all. They bring an abundance of energy to both their life and work. They’re very self-driven and get more excited than the average person. Surrounding yourself around passionate people will cause you to reflect on your own life passions. Passionate people tend to devote their life to their dreams. They think very positively about their future, which will cause you to do the same.

THE OPEN MINDED

Open minded people are those who consider different perspectives and are not afraid to try out new experiences. They are often very humble about their knowledge and expertise. They also have a very curious mind as they’re often very curious about what others think and what they have to say. Open minded people are never afraid of being wrong. Being surrounded by open minded people will teach you how to set aside your judgements. They will also expose you to new perspectives, knowledge, people, and experiences. 

THE MOTIVATED

Motivated people are doers who strive to get things done. They never procrastinate because they tend to plan things ahead and they have a strong vision for their goals. Motivated people set the example that motivation has to come from within. Their perseverance is contagious as they encourage you that anything is possible if you set your mind on it.

THE DREAMER

Dreamers are those who rise above their background and life circumstances. They have the ability to see beyond what it is to what can be. Similar to motivated people, dreamers have a strong perseverance. They take practical steps towards their dreams overcoming any obstacle that gets in the way. Dreamers also tend to be world changers as they’re attracted to ideas and dreams that strive to make the world a better place. They tend to seek help from mentors who understand their dreams and are very grateful for their help. Surrounding yourself with dreamers will make you one. They will teach you that any dream can become a reality and any obstacles can be overcome. 

THE REALIST 

The realists will keep you level-headed and make sure that you’re putting thought behind your actions. They are practical minders and see the world as it is. Realists compliment the dreamers as they make sure everything is realistic when you’re mapping out your goals. Surrounding yourself with a realist will help you see the truth and all sides of an issue. They’re those who tell you the “I told you so”, when you didn’t take their advice. However, they will also provide you comfort and compassion when things don’t go as planned. 

THE GRATEFUL 

Grateful people are those who always give thanks to not only those around them, but also the universe. They’re those who are in full gratitude for what they have and for whatever life brings them. They’re never unappreciative as they think a lot about those who are less fortunate. Grateful people often have a calming presence that surrounds them. Their calm energy is infectious and they will teach you to always look at the glass full even when you perceive it as not. 

THE HARD WORKER 

The hard workers push harder each and every day giving it their all. They’re relentless and have a strong commitment, making them able to succeed in any business. The hard worker is never late to work and never takes advantage of company sick days. They give out 100% each day and are often very well prepared. Surrounding yourself with hard workers will push your work ethic and drive. Hard workers stop at nothing to achieve their goals and will encourage you to work just as hard as them.

THE ADVENTUROUS  

The adventurous are very similar to the open minded, as they never say no to new adventures. Adventurous people don’t believe in routines and never have an excuse to not go out and explore. They want to see the whole world and to them life is all about making great memories and gaining new experiences. Surrounding yourself with adventurous people will make you get out of your comfort zone and appreciate the little things in life. Their young spirit is contagious and they will teach you that there are no bad experiences, only life lessons.

THE AUTHENTIC 

Authentic people always stay true to themselves and live in the moment with confidence. They’re very self-reflective and have a healthy ego with a good character to match. Authentic people do not hold judgmental attitudes against others and do not need the approval from others. Surrounding yourself with authentic people will teach you how to build up your own character and how to stay true to yourself even in difficult circumstances. Authentic people are never looking for something in return and you can always count on them for support.

THE HUMBLE 

Humble people believe they can always learn from the experiences and education from others. They’re very down to earth as they’re in peace with themselves and with others. Humble people are grateful and are not afraid to ask others for help. They treat everyone with respect and they recognize their own limitations. You will ultimately want to surround yourself around humble people because they will teach you how to control your pride and learn from others. 

THE MENTOR  

Mentors are those who love to teach others. They’re those who are excited to share their knowledge and expertise. Mentors are typically leaders who will naturally reach out to you and who check up on you often. Surrounding yourself with people who have a mentor mentality will help you improve yourself as they will teach you the ropes in life. They’re also great in giving great life advice!

THE INSPIRED 

Inspired people are those who believe in themselves and in others. They are those who inspire you to do new things within your life. Inspired people are bold and have a strong courage, which pushes them past their fears. They also live very fascinating lives and overcome any obstacle with ease. You would want to surround yourself with inspired people because they will help you be more curious and will motivate you to search for inspiration. They will always treat you with love and acceptance and seek out the best in you.
