It's another matter if they're leeching off your energy, holding you from attaining your goals, in which case you simply spend less time with them, but not ostracise them for it.

On your site it's listed:
How can you classify one as being a loser?

* No job (not looking hard enough)
* No money (lack of motivation to make it)
* Lazy
* Party all the time (unless it’s related to your job)
* Too much drugs
* Too much focus on girls (for guys, mainly 18-25)
* Willingness to NOT step out of comfort zone

These are guidelines you've set up based on what you have percieved as the current level / median of what is not 'cool' based on society. This is herd mentality, and judging is ego driven.
And it's funny - who'r you to decide how much is 'not looking hard enough for a job'?
Why is 'no money or lack of motivation to make it' a criteria for loser. By that logic you've just labelled many lightworkers as losers without thinking about it. Even many darkworkers who're going through a rough patch would be at a point where they have no money and their motivation lies elsewhere.
I could go on with the rest of your 'criteria' but I think you get the picture.

Bottom line: Don't judge other people by your perceptions and aspirations and metric on life.

I would recomend you think about not being so ego driven and shallow. Accept people for who or what they are instead.


Hi, I completely respect your opinion.

1. Just because I choose to surround myself with like minded people doesn't mean I'm ego driven.

2. I do accept people for who they are. If they are not interested in becoming successful (successful does NOT mean making lots of money) then why would I lower my standards. I don't judge, I just choose not to spend MY TIME with them.

3. I never said if you make no money you are a loser. I said if you make no money and don't care to get money you are. Money is important, it doesn't have to be a lot, but bottom line is, if ain't working to get some, you're not helping anyone, including yourself!

Again, I think you have the wrong idea. Loser= someone who cares to do nothing with their life. If people choose to live the life style I classify as being a loser, then that's totally cool, go ahead. I CHOOSE to surround myself with like minded individuals. And I teach others to do the same.

Most people would agree with me. There are obviously some that don't, and that's okay, because this is simply my opinion.
