You're the average of the five people you spend the most time with, Jim Rohn says. Do you think that's true? Do you see evidence of that in your life? Associations matter more than you realize. What does your friends' circle look like? Photo by Gemma Chua-Tran on Unsplash

Hey guys,

Boomshakha here.

I'm standing right in front of the CN Tower again.

You can see it in the background behind me.

In this video I wanted to speak to you guys about associations and that's something that a lot of different self-help gurus,

Personal development coaches,

Success coaches talk about a lot.

They are the five people that you hang out with the most.

And in this regard,

You have to think about all the different people that you hang out with,

The colleagues that you have,

That you spend most of your time with,

Most of your days with,

Your friends,

Family members,

If you have a partner,

A husband or wife,

Or a cohabiting partner,

Whatever it might be.

The people that you hang out with the most are probably going to be the kind of people that you're going to end up like.

So for example,

If the people you hang out with are really positive people,

They don't complain,

They're successful,

They're financially prosperous,

They have really great relationships,

They're harmonious individuals,

Things like that,

It's a very hard possibility that you're probably going to end up being like that as well.

But if your friends are complainers,

They're whiners,

They're not successful,

They're always short of money,

They're a power mentality,

Etc.

And very high possibility that you're going to be ending up like that,

You're going to end up like that as well.

It's like they say,

If you're hanging out with individuals who are much bigger than you,

Weight-wise,

It's because of the law of numbers and the fact that you're hanging out with these individuals,

It's very high probability that you will start gaining weight and end up at the same average weight as those individuals.

So not that you're like sheep or anything,

But that's what happens when you hang out with the individuals that you hang out with.

You're going to have the same kind of habits,

You're going to have those conversations,

Everything's going to melt together and you're going to end up being similar to them.

So the lesson from that is that,

First of all,

For the five people that you're hanging out with the most,

Think about that,

Think about the kind of people they are and think about if those are the kind of people that you want to end up being like.

If not,

Then obviously the next step is to either start spending less time with them and find a mastermind group or find a community of people who are positive thinkers,

Who are successful and the kind of people that you want to be like and move in that direction.

Or weed them out.

What I've been doing over the past few years is really cutting down and cutting out the kind of people who are really negative,

Who are always complaining and who are really not successful and just hanging out more people who are successful,

Who are the kind of people that I want to be like,

Who travel a lot,

Who are positive,

Who are manifestors,

Who meditate,

Who do yoga,

Who are fit,

Etc.

And in that regard,

What happened to me automatically is I've become more fit,

I've become a meditator,

I've become more successful,

More prosperous,

I've become more positive,

Things like that.

So again,

Go back to your friends.

Think about the five people that you hang out with the most and if necessary,

Weed them out or spend less time with them,

Find a mastermind group,

Find a different group of people that are most successful,

The kind of people that you want to emulate and then from that you'll be able to increase the probability of you becoming like those other people.

I implore you if you are interested,

Join my Facebook and Instagram,

The millionaire hippie,

In that you can be able to find like minded people who are spiritual,

Who are successful,

Who are positive,

Who are manifestors,

Things like that.

Again,

My name is Bhoomshrika and I hope that you guys have an amazing week and I'm signing off and I'll talk to you guys soon.

Bye.
