The people we surround ourselves with raise or lower our ability to strive for personal excellence. They either help us to be the best version of ourselves that we can be or unfortunately, some if we are not careful, might create the reverse.

We often become like our friends, our chosen peer group. No person becomes great on their own. The people you surround yourself with and fly in a ‘V’ formation alongside, either give you greater flying power or they provide drag which limits how far and high you can fly.

Are the people that you choose to surround yourself with taking you toward happiness and success in the long term?

Choose your friends and the people you surround yourself with wisely. We all need people in our lives who help us to strive to be the best that we can be. Surround yourself with values-based people who work hard and that value little acts of human kindness and care, on a daily basis.
