Who's Influencing You? Time to Check your Circle.

Growing up, I always heard, “You become like the people you spend the most time with.” At the time, it felt like one of those overused lines. Now, though, I get it—and it’s more relevant than ever.

Who Are Your 5 Closest Connections?

Take a minute and think about it—who are the five people you interact with the most? This could be your family, best friends, coworkers, or even that podcast host you listen to every morning. Sometimes, it's not even people you know personally. The social media accounts you follow or that YouTube channel you binge-watch—they all count, too. The things you consume every day shape you, whether you realize it or not.

How Are They Shaping Your Growth?

Now, let’s get real. Are these people (or the content) encouraging you to grow? Are they pushing you toward your goals, inspiring your personal growth, or even just making you feel positive? Or are they pulling you into negativity, or maybe holding you back without even meaning to?

We often don’t stop and think about how much the people we’re around (or the content we absorb) affect our lives. But it’s huge. Those five influences could be lifting you higher—or keeping you stuck in place.

Time to Do a Little Audit

It’s time for an honest assessment. Who’s got your ear every day? Are they encouraging your self-improvement, or are they stuck in cycles of complaining and negativity? If you’re not surrounded by people who challenge and support you, it might be time to seek new connections.

Conclusion: Make the Right Choice for Growth

At the end of the day, it’s your call. But if you want to grow, you’ve got to make sure your environment is supporting that. So, take stock of the people and content around you, and ask yourself—are they helping you get where you want to go?
