Jim Rohn famously stated, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” While this principle is sound, I think the number is somewhat arbitrary. For example, if you spend most of your time with only one person, that individual’s way of thinking, their emotional state, and their habits will affect you—influencing the way you think, your emotional state, and your habits.
We are the average of the people we spend the mlost time with.
