(Tim Ferriss, Jim Rohn, others)
If this is true, what implications does it have for you?
With whom do you associate most? Do they lift you up, encourage you to higher levels of personal betterment? Or are you dragged down to settle for something below your potential?
What are you willing to do to test the hypothesis and see? Are you willing to strike friendships from your life in pursuit of something better? Are you willing to endure pain and growth alone as you find those five uplifting people?
Makes you think and wonder.
