Surround Yourself with Good People
Surround Yourself with Good People
But there’s a reason why it has become a cliché. Because it’s true.
“You are the average of the 5 people you hang out with”
We all heard this before. In fact, this has become a cliché that people do not seem to value its importance anymore.
But there’s a reason why it has become a cliché. Because it’s true.
If you want to be successful, and all your friends does every Friday night is party, then hanging out with them won’t help you achieve your goals.
When I say “surround yourself with good people,” I don’t just mean good in a moral sense of the word. I mean good as in “I’m working on improving myself too” sense of the word.
Find the right people and hang-out with them. Eventually, you’ll notice your own improvement just by hanging out with the right people, who also have the same goals as you.
Action Guide:
1 – As hard as it is to do, you have to cut off some people in your lives. Cutting off people doesn’t mean you stop being friends with them. It only means that you have to spend less time and energy with them. It’s hard to be a successful basketball player if all your friends are alcoholic. It’s impossible to become a good employee if all your friends hate their jobs.
Start making new friends that you know are going to make you better. Attend a seminar to meet some like-minded people, attend a boot camp to meet other people who wants to improve themselves. Go find where they hang out, make friends and keep lifting each other up.
