The law of averages

Jim Rohn has a rule called the “5 friends rule,” which essentially states the law of averages: you are the average of the 5 friends you surround yourself with. I believe that so much of our perception of reality and our success is based on who we surround ourselves with. Our outlook and beliefs, our mental resilience, our physical appearance, the way we speak, even to how much money we make all stems from those we hang around on a daily basis. A mentor of mine used to tell me all the time, “ If a bird hangs with bats, it will eventually hang upside down.”

I think this is why it’s so important to take stock in those around you and ask yourself the hard questions to find out if this is the circle you want to be involved with.
