Who You Surround Yourself With Determines Your Future & Who You Are As A Person

You become who you surround yourself with.

If you surround yourself with negative people, you’ll become negative. But if you surround yourself with successful, growth-minded people, you’ll become successful too.

I experienced this firsthand. For years, I surrounded myself who didn’t support or encourage me and who brought me down instead of supporting my dreams. And over time, I realized that my mindset was changing to match theirs.

So I realized I had to make a change. I got rid of a lot of people in my circle and chose to surround myself with positive people who encouraged my new ideas, personally and professionally. And it made all the difference in my goals and growth.

The habits of the people you surround yourself with rub off on you. Who do you want to become? Then surround yourself with people who will help you get there. Their presence and example can help unlock your potential instead of holding you back.

Keep these three questions in mind:

1. Does this person help you make a better version of yourself?
2. Do they build you up or tear you down?
3. Do they help you see things from a different perspective?

Who you surround yourself with reflects who you are and who you can become. So be sure to surround yourself with people who encourage you to be your best self.
