Should I Get New Friends Who Support My Cause?
I apologize for a recent weird post that was deleted. Although, my message remains the same for it; retain your "sexual energy".
Anyhow, this post is about a serious issue and social dilemma I am facing right now.
It is about the most powerful force that can wreck or help your success in any part of your life, namely, your peer-group, your so called "friends".
To be completely honest, I only really have ONE true friend (someone I meet on a weekly basis eye to eye talking about life, things we want to achieve, girls since we're two young studs haha, etc).
Then I have my bigger "peer-group" or "friends" that I talk regularly on Skype-like software such as Mumble (the advantage is that you can use push-to-talk which Skype don't have, why not?).
This group of friends are NOT as long-term thinking as my "true friend" is and they prefer to play video games all day long. They want me to purchase games and play with them. They rarely want to talk about life-stuff such as girls or making money, and yeah, some of them are overweight and insecure around girls.
My "true friend" has told me that he used to be a "nerd" (a gamer) and it was a fun time (three years in college but stopped with it after college) but it did not really give him what he truly wanted: a prosperous future and meeting lots of beautiful women (yeah, typical young guys-talk).
Now, my "true friend" supports my cause of wanting to make money by helping people online with information products and free stuff too, but I do not meet every day as I do with my other "friends".
I am thinking of to actually STOP having these daily communications with my "other friends" and get some new ones. I am thinking of getting new friends here on WF (but people ain't replying to my Mastermind-threads, gahhh xD) since I need like-minded people.
According to social research and Think & Grow Rich-book, the most powerful influence on one's success in life is one's peer-group or mastermind (if one has any) and that is what I want to achieve.
The deal is this: I love being social with my "friends" but I also want to be able to focus on my long-term dream and vision of making it online, and I feel that my peer-group is just not the best one for that.
What I really need, is a true Mastermind where I regularly communicate with other WF members that I have as "accountability-buddies" (as it is called in that funny South Park episode).
Right now, as I am writing this post to publish, I hear my friend play that multiplayer-game online and yeah, it is fun, but at the end of the day, it is NOT investing for the future, and in a sense, kinda sad because of that.
I have lived a fourth or third of my life so far (24 YO) and I think my "childhood" is pretty much over now. I am integrating myself into the "adulthood" and need some true "adult friends" and not young men who still live like teenagers.
Anyone else who can relate? Any harsh advice (maybe I should cut off the contact with them? But I still want to socialize with other people online to not become a nutcase)? What should I do?
And yeah, if anyone wants to create a daily or weekly mastermind-group with me, that would be awesome, because I really want to be able to socialize with people who wants to be succeeding and not nerding! ^^,
