Your Potential: The Hard Truth About Your Inner Circle

Hey there! Today, I’m here to drop some tough love that might just change the way you look at your inner circle. You see, there’s a saying that goes something like this: “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” And let me tell you, my friend, there’s more truth to that statement than meets the eye. So let’s digest some hard truths about the company you keep.

The Power of Influence: First things first, let’s talk about why the people you surround yourself with matter. You see, every person in your life, whether they’re a friend, family member, or colleague, has the power to influence you in one way or another. Their attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs creep into your subconscious mind like water into a sponge, shaping your thoughts, actions, and ultimately, your future.

Choose Your Circle: Now, I’m not here to rain on your parade or tell you to ditch your friends, that part is completely up to you. But I am here to remind you that your inner circle plays a significant role in shaping who you are and who you become. So take a long, hard look at the people you surround yourself with. Are they lifting you up, inspiring you to be the best YOU, you can be, and pushing you to chase your dreams and keep your commitments? Or, on the other side, are they dragging you down, feeding into negativity, and holding you back from your full potential?

Raise Your Standards: Here’s the truth: if you want to soar like an eagle, you can’t afford to hang out with turkeys. Surround yourself with people who challenge you, support you, and believe in your potential, even when you don’t believe in yourself. Raise your standards, and don’t settle for anything less than the best when it comes to the company you keep.

Be Intentional: Now, I’m not saying you need to go out and tell your friends things are going to be different now, that would be unnecessary. But what I am saying is this: be intentional about your relationships. Surround yourself with people who inspire you, uplift you, and bring out the best in you. And if there are toxic influences in your life that are holding you back, have the courage to set boundaries and distance yourself, your future self will thank you for it.

You Are The Average: In conclusion, my dear friends, remember this: you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. So choose wisely, surround yourself with greatness, and watch as your life transforms before your very eyes. You have the power to shape your destiny, so why settle for anything less than extraordinary? Go out there and create the life you’ve always dreamed of – you’ve got this!

    Indeed, the power of influence is stronger than we realise! As such, we should be very intentional about who we allow into our inner circle!
