With whom do you surround yourself?
I was reading something today by Jim Rohn in which he discussed the issue of the people that we choose to be around. He states the following:
“You must constantly ask yourself these questions:
- Who am I around?
- What are they doing to me?
- What have they got me reading?
- What have they got me saying?
- Where do they have me going?
- What do they have me thinking?
- And most important, what do they have me becoming?
Then ask yourself the big question: Is that okay?“
Jim Rohn went on to suggest that we each should “Get around people who have something of value to share with you. Their impact will continue to have a significant effect on your life long after they have departed.”
While this is an important thing to consider, I would like to submit that we should also strive to BE the type of people that have something of value to share with others, impacting them and their lives long after we have departed.
