Each person that we come in contact with makes an impact on us. The level of impact depends on how we feel about them and what they are representing to us. We may feel a strong positive attraction, a strong negative rejection, or anything inbetween. Either way, it's facinating to think about how a simple interaction has the opportunity to leave an impression on us that lasts a lifetime.
The people we spend the most time with have a great deal of influence on us. We become like those we surround ourselves with. Make a quick list of the five people you typically spend the most time with. This can include podcasts, books, and TV shows that you frequently tune into. What type of mindset do they have? What are their most common attitudes? Do they pull you up and inspire you to grow? Do they bring you down and hold you back? What feelings do they trigger in you?
Rather than hanging out with people who are nearby or you've known forever, think about consciously selecting your influences and what impact that may have on you. If you aren't spending time with at least one person who serves as a role model for you and inspires you to grow, change that today. Do some research, subscribe to a podcast, or read a book. Bring more of that energy into your weekly schedule. This small shift can change your life significantly.
