You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with

Did you know that the people you surround yourself with affect your state of being?

It makes sense when you think about it.

The more that you hang around with people, of course you would pick up some of their energies and their ways of thinking.

And yet, many of us have these relationships in our lives and we never take the time to take stock of how those relationships actually affect us.

There’s a motivational speaker and author named Jim Rohn, and he famously said this quote:

“You are the average of the five people that you spend the most time with.”

Let me say that again.

“You are the average of the five people that you spend the most time with.”

Now, take a moment and think about who the five people are that you spend the most time with.

Think about your workplace, your loved ones, family members and friends.

Once you have those five people in mind, think about the characteristics of these people.

Are they the kind of people that lift you up? Do they cheer you on and inspire you…
