The People You Spend Time With

You will, over time, become a slow average of the five people you spend the most hours with. Their words will find their way into your mouth. Their habits into your week. Their ambitions into your imagination.

Choose accordingly. Not snobbishly, but honestly. Spend more time with people who make you braver, kinder, and more honest. Spend less with those who quietly shrink you.

This is not about cutting people off. It is about being intentional with the hours that no one is forcing you to give.
