You become who, you spend most of your time with.....

Going down memory lane, you will realize most of the friends you made as a kid wasn't really out of choice. Some were because they lived right next to you, or may be they sat right next to you in class and you really didn't have much of a choice, but some were out of having similar interest in may be football or something. But as you grew up, things began to change, your sense of style, career, the kind or movies and songs you love, but most especially your direction in life began to change, most times completely different from that of your friends and loved ones. This will mean changing who you surround yourself with. As your life begins to take a new turn, you need to update your friendship software, making sure you surround yourself with the right people. This is not being selfish, and am not saying do away with people who care about you,but for the purpose of growth spend more time with people who help you grow. Its more like being the best you can be in other to be that person they can learn from. I often hear people say the most important resource in the world is money, but I say the most important resource in the world is People and I mean quality people, people you can learn from, people who are not afraid to tell you your doing something wrong. Some of you have friends who are drop dead loyal to you and to them your perfect. You need a critic, someone who will not hesitate to let you know your wrong and help with ways you can do things better. Spend time with people who are insightful, that way you start to think like them.You become who you spend most of your time with. You need to stay away from negative, unhappy and insecure people, the energy that comes from those kind of people are very contagious and in no time,you begin to feel and think like them. Think about who you want to become put that person in one corner of the table, put the people you spend most of your time with on the opposite corner and try to make a connection. The type you make when your trying to connect a charger to a socket. If you have the wrong charger, for the wrong socket, there cant be a fit. Don't pack the wrong bag for the right journey.
Identify five people who are already living the life you want, people with the traits you are trying to develop, they may be close or they may be far and unaccessible. If they are accessible spend your time with them, and leverage on their ideas. Be a good listener around them. If they are not accessible you can learn something new from them by either watching their movies, reading their books or just doing a research about them.
Romantic partners affect you more than anyone else, find the right one, who will move you forward and not hold you back. You don't have the power to choose the family your born into, but you have the power to choose who you spend most of your time with. Choose wisely!
