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

The people you spend most of your time with determine who you are and who you can become. They set the problems and interests that capture your attention and continuously influence your behavior and beliefs.

People constantly transmit their emotions, moods, and beliefs to those around them. Therefore, changing your social circle means changing yourself.

The quality of our experiences is largely determined by the people around us. This principle applies to all aspects of life:

  • Who you work with.
  • Who you travel with.
  • Who you start a business with.
  • Who you choose to spend your life with.

Don’t underestimate the profound impact your inner circle has on your performance, motivation, well-being, happiness, and success.
