“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” Jim Rohn
Choose the people around you wisely because they will significantly impact your potential in life and how successful you become.
If you surround yourself with wise people, who are trying to improve themselves, those qualities will help push you to be better. On the other hand, if you associate with people who engage in self-destructive habits, those habits will start to affect you negatively.
We need to be better than average, and we don’t have to follow the same path as everyone else; we can make mindful choices and live the life we want to live. Being around like-minded people will help you reach your goals and, in the process, help you to become extraordinary.
I do believe that this is true, and have often made myself valuable to people I wish to become more like. Always a great reminder to re-assess who you are connected with, and are you where you really want to be. It's sometimes as easy finding someone on linkedin, and starting a conversation.
