Association can limit your growth or make you soar to a new level

They say that to grow you should associate with those people who motivate you to be more than you aspire to be. Associating with "lesser" people will hold you back, whilst associating with people on the same level will leave you where you are now...at the same level as they are.

Associating with people who make you think, re-assess and challenge you physically, emotionally, spiritually and mentally will sometimes make you wish for the quiet life, but your life will be an amazing kaleidoscope of new challenges and experiences to sense, absorb and to think about.

And just as other people can be a catalyst for your growth and change, so you can be a catalyst for others. So as you go through your day ask yourself this:

Am I helping other people to grow and change, or am I dragging them down to my level? If you haven't tried anything new in the last couple of weeks, something tells me you are stuck, so get our of your mental rut and do something different.
