Who are you hanging out with?

"You're the same today as you will be in five years except for two things: The people you meet and the books you read!" 

- Author Sharon Lechter

"Three Feet From Gold: Turn Your Obstacles into Opportunities"

Motivational speaker Jim Rohn was quoted as saying that you are the average of the five people we spend the most time with.

The average of what depends on what you consider important - family, finances, health, relationships, spirituality.

Where ever you are in any of these areas, there is always an opportunity to expand or improve, depending on your priorities.

Change comes by changing your habits or your environment.

Connections matter - both personal and introspective.

If you want to "be rich" in any of those areas, don't complain you're not where you want to be.

Instead, hang out with people who you admire, people who are where you want to be.

If you want to have better relationships, hang out with people who have inspiring relationships.

If you want better finances, hang out with people who have the lifestyle you want.

If you want better health, hang out with healthy people!

If you want a better family life, hang out with your family, or learn from those who have what you want.

Ask them what they are doing and how they got there.

Ask them what books they are reading, what classes they are taking, what choices they are making.

You'll be surprised to find most people actually want to help you achieve your dream.
