It Is Amazing That We Tend To Be…
It is amazing to me that we tend to become like or want to become like those we are around. It is therefore important to surround ourselves with those that we want to be like ourselves.
Here is a little personal story to illustrate my point.
Just the other day I was sitting in a room with friends and family and we started talking about going bald (now of you are bald please don’t take offense). It was funny to me because before I knew it we were actually arguing and fighting over who was the baldest of us. We were trying to prove to each other that we had lost more hair than the rest. We were fighting over who had lost the most hair like it was something awesome!
Now really, people spend good money to prevent balding patterns and obtain hair implants. Do we want to be the one in the group with the least hair on our heads?
Then why were we trying to prove that we had lost the most hair to each other?
It is because we (all of us in the group) have all suffered some type of hair loss.
We wanted to prove that we were the baldest because we we all balding.
I have seen the same thing occur sitting in a line or in a crowded place with people trying to prove that they had less money than the others around them! Since when is being broke something that any of us strive for, but here they were trying to prove that they were the worst off financially!
Here is the point…If we want a certain quality we will be further ahead in obtaining it if we surround ourselves with people that have that quality.
If we want success, surround ourselves with success.
It is pretty simple really…we become like those we associate with the most.
So think about the qualities that you want and set out to surround yourself with people that have those traits. You will be amazed at the rapid transformations in your thoughts and actions.
To your success,
