You Will Become in 5 Years...

Associations are powerful! They are powerful because they are subtle. Most of us would never let someone yank us off course. But let someone nudge us a tiny bit and over time the compounding affect of the little nudges can have us so far off course that we wonder how in the world we ever got to where we are.

I've heard it said that in five years you will become the combined average of the five people you associate most with. Wild, huh?

Look around at your life and take inventory of the five people you spend the most time with. Are you OK with becoming the combined average of those people? Continue the association and you will!

Some associations you need to run from - get the Dodge out of heck!

Some associations you need to limit - it's OK to spend two hours with some folks but not two days.

Some associations you need to add - you may need to expand your circle and get in with a healthier or more challenging crowd.

Associations are powerful! What do yours have you becoming?
