Have you heard of the 'Law of Averages' before? š
ā
It is the theory, that the result of any given situation will be the average of all outcomes.
ā
Whether we like it or not, when it comes to relationships we are influenced by the people closest to us. They affect our way of thinking, our self-esteem and even our decisions.
ā
Of course we are still individuals, but research has shown that we're much more affected by our environment than we actually think.
ā
We may be the most conscious and smartest individuals around, but if we're constantly surrounded by negative, fear-based people, it will impact who we eventually become.
ā
On the other hand if we hang out with a group of successful and positive people who believe in taking responsbility for their lives, most likely we will also become more proactive and shape the future ourselves.
ā
This, of course, doesn't mean that we should end relationships and cut away anyone who doesn't contribute to our goals. But we should at least monitor our contact with poeple that don't enable us to become a better version of ourselves!
