Surround Yourself With The Best

It’s a well known fact that you are the sum of the 5 people you spend the most time with.

What does that mean?

Let’s Do a Quick Drill:

Think of the 5 people you spend the most time with.  

Now think of a particular area of your life-Health & Fitness, Income & Finances, Communication & Relationship Skills, Belief System, Attitude, Work Ethic, Eating Habits, Sleeping Habits, even something as basic as HYGIENE.

Be Honest:  Your habits, qualities and current situation is within a few degrees of the 5 people you listed as whom you spend the most time with. (If you wanna take this to a deeper level, this includes an artist or specific genre of music you listen to, Info you receive on social media, and content put out by Influencers.)

So what does that mean? 

Who you surround yourself with is CRITICAL.

Those 5 people are either going to be the wings to elevate you, or become the cement shoes that pull you down. 

When you’re committed to PROGRESSING-as a complete and total newbie or to go Next Level, SURROUND YOURSELF WITH THE BEST.

The most fit.

The most honest.

The most disciplined.

The most focused.

The most organized. 

The most skilled.

The most positive.

The most wise and experienced.

The most loving. 

You get the idea. 

You’ve got to EXPAND your circle and INTENTIONALLY place yourself around the people who have what you want AND those who are also actively pursuing it.

A lot of people make the mistake of seeking out someone who is only a little better/ more successful than they are in a given area because they feel intimidated.

THIS IS A MAJOR TIME WASTER, and usually takes you on an unnecessary tangent where you end up plateauing. 

Align yourself with the BEST. 

Yes, they’ll demand more of you.

Yes, they’ll push you.

And yes, you will be uncomfortable because they’ll stretch you beyond your comfort zone. 

But if I may submit for your consideration-NOTHING GREAT HAS EVER COME OUT OF A COMFORT ZONE.  EVER. 

Focus on your goal/s and who you need to surround yourself with.

And Remember...Wings Over Cement Shoes Every Damn’ Day.
