You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. Jim Rohn
Interesting quote. I saw it somewhere recently and thought about the motto I created when I moved to Arizona almost two years ago. I used this motto Match Me or Raise Me as a reminder to be mindful about who I chose to spend my time with. Match Me or Raise Me just means meet me where I am or inspire me by who you are or by your accomplishments to reach higher, to do better, to excel.
Sometimes we don't fully receive the effect that people have on us or realize the consequences of time spent with those who detract in some way instead of add to our lives.
When I began this blog last January, my first entries were mostly narrative as I wrote about various topics about receiving. (You can look back by going to the menu of months on the right). Over time I added poems and quotes. I was thinking about this blog today and what I wanted to write on this first day of the new year.
In my years of exploring different facets of and deepening my understanding of receiving, I have come to understand that when I am fully present (truly a receptive state), I make better choices. And those choices reflect in how and with whom I spend my time.
As I reflect back on the last year and make plans for the year ahead, I am very happy with my top five people! I hope you are, too.
