“You’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”

Jim Rohn

The above quote’s a cliché for a reason.

Wired by millennia of social evolution, our circles dictate the lion’s share of our identity, beliefs, and worldviews.

While the right folks can propel you to the skies, the wrong ones can pull you into the depths of Tartarus.

Thanks to our innate sensitivity to negativity, even one rotten apple’s enough to destroy the bunch.

From a weak wuss surrounded by nauseatingly toxic bullies to a confident young man with positivity-exuding brothers, I’ve seen the entire spectrum.

And the best people to keep around you fall into 3 broad categories.

The Most Important Type of The Three

No force will push you past your limits more than the presence of someone better.

We preach, “Don’t compare yourself to others!” — but our minds evolutionarily wired for “Survival of The Fittest” evolution can’t help but compare.
