Who do you spend your time with? Do they encourage you, inspire you, lift you, challenge you, believe in you? Do they spur you on to greater heights? Boost you up? Do they raise the bar; both for you and for themselves? Motivate you to elevate your standards? Committed to being their best selves?
Bit by bit, better every day?
Or do they set the bar so low you could trip over it?
You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. Show me your friends and I’ll show you your future: you will rise or fall to the level of the companions you choose, the tribe you affiliate with.
Choose well.
