Who are you associating with? Are you doing what they are doing?

The people we choose to spend time with can have a massive impact on how much we can do and achieve. The question is - Who do you associate with?

If you associate with people who spend too much money, eat too much food and drink too much alcohol - chances are you will end up doing exactly the same. Granted it may take a while (it depends on how good your willpower is) before their influence wears off on you, but it will wear off on you sooner or later.

Of course, you could be fortunate enough to associate with people who are fit and healthy, and don't take "no" for an answer when they ask - are you going to the gym tonight?

It is always worth making an inventory of those people with whom you associate on a regular basis, and see what they are doing, what they are saying, and then you have to ask yourself the very tough question - is that OK?

Are they holding you back from doing all that you can, or being all that you can be? Or are they helping you to become the best you can be?

And when you are making your inventory of people you associate with on a regular basis - don't forget to add your own name to the list. Are you helping others to be all they can be? Are you helping yourself to be all that you can be?
