"You are the version of the top five people you surround yourself with."
Have you ever heard that phrase? Well, if you have heard it, but you are questioning it, let me just tell you..
It's the TRUTH.
This is a bit of a difficult concept for me to explain. It's something that simply needs to be experienced.
Sharing quality content is always a great help to the people around you :)
There is a reason why any successful businessman would tell you to get a mentor. It's because when you are being mentored, you are picking-up certain characteristics of that person. You are becoming a part of them.
See, the same thing happens when an innocent teenager is hanging-out with smokers, or drug-addicts. That person is becoming just like them over time. You will notice that if they are still hanging-out with each other after 3-6 months, that teenager will 8 out of 10 times be smoking too. Not because they are bad or anything, but because they knew nothing else.
Have you ever seen a baby born in Africa, with Xhosa-speaking parents, grow up to be speaking Chinese. No. It will speak Xhosa, because the people around him/her do so. They know nothing else.
If you want to be happy, start talking to happier people.
If you want to dress better, start building relationships with people that dress really well.
If you want to become really successful in business, then get a mentor who has done so.
Have you ever wondered how some of those 'supercar Youtube channel' owners are able to own such exotic cars? Because a lot of the time, they are not very rich. Most of them could not afford a nice car when they started their channels. But you see, because of the fact that their channels were about supercars, they started associating themselves with other channel owners who did similarly. They started collaborating. And eventually, a few years down the line, they are all owning the latest cars. It's not because they are any better than you, but rather because they were pressured by their friends to make things happen.
I hope these examples have proven the point that is pondering in my head. It is sometimes quite tough to converse my thoughts into words, LOL!
CONCLUSION
If you are having draw-backs or bad times in certain parts of your life, the most unproductive thing you can do is feel sorry for yourself. Things are not going to fix themselves. You need to self-assess your situation.
Why am I telling you this? Because I have recently come to the conclusion that these bad situations are most of the time influenced by the decisions you make as a person.. And those decisions are most of the time influenced by the people who surround you.
CONCLUSION to my CONCLUSION..
Pick your friends carefully. They can either make you or break you.
