Why I Believe I CAN!
By Ajit Kaikini

What type of friends and mentors do you have around you? Do they talk positive or fill you with a lot of negative sentences?

In the jungle gym prepared during our leadership camp, Arjun from Udupi initially gave up crossing the rope bridge built between the two trees. The very fact that he tried showed that he intended to cross however, when the rope started shaking, he gave up in the middle. It was nice seeing some of his colleagues motivate him and instilling belief in him that he could do what they had done. 

 As his friends rubbed their positive vibrations on him with their talk, he was seeing two more of his colleagues cross the rope bridge, though with a lot of difficulties. Suddenly after a few minutes, we could see Arjun walk over to the tree with a confidence, which was missing before. As he balanced, he struggled a lot and just when he wanted to give up when the rope shook, his friends motivated him shouting Arjun, Arjun, Arjun.

The synchronic motivation shattered Arjun's negative belief, which was shackling him. We could see a sparkle in his eyes as he drew energy to rejuvenate his energies and confidence. As Arjun pulled himself up onto the opposite tree, we could see him breath differently - he was filled with an air of accomplishment. He had discovered the hidden energies in his subconscious mind.
 

His friends stimulated his thoughts and stirred his emotions, which made him to do what he could not. What type of friends and mentors do you have around you? Do they talk positive or fill you with a lot of negative sentences? Just like we do pruning and de-weeding for better plants, can you prune negative friends and be away from those who put you down?
