Have you noticed how you take on the traits of those you are around most, their words, their habits, and behaviours?

We become who we surround ourselves with. One of our most important tools at our disposal to live our best life is other people. Those we surround ourselves with are one of the greatest influences upon our behaviour, our attitude and ultimately the results we achieve.

The people we are with dominate our thoughts, conversations and attention. The more time we spend time with them, the more we eventually start, thinking and behaving like they do.

By going out of our way to be around people we aspire to be like, smart, ambitious, thoughtful, kind, caring and interesting people; we begin to take on these traits. We become a living embodiment of the way they act, what they say, think and do. They have a profound impact upon the course of our own lives. 

In the words of Jim Rohn, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”

In life we come in contact with people that propel us forward and those that hold us back. Which group would you rather be around, and which are you actually around? Are they the same? If not, why not?
