What kind of people do you hang around with?

Do you hang around people with common goals and interests? Most people do. Have you ever heard the saying "Show me your friends and I'll show you your future"?

So, who are your friends?

From a physical standpoint, are your friends getting you closer to achieving your physique goals or preventing you from achieving your physique goals?

Are your friend's lifestyle choices helping you get leaner or fatter? Are you friend's social habits congruent to your training and eating goals? Are your friend's mindset and life goals causing you to raise the bar or lower the bar?

Where will you be in five years?

Did you know that, right now, you are the result of the five people that you hang out with the most? Think about that for a second.

Think about the five friends you hang out with more than anybody else. You're the average of those five people.

If you hang out with five people who always got A's on their exams, chances are you got A's too.

If you hang out with five people who are always negative, are always whining or complaining about someone or something, I won't be surprised if you're a negative whiner and a complainer too. Ever notice how negativity breeds negativity?

If you hang out with five people who live the fitness lifestyle, I'm willing to bet you do too.

Show me your friends and I'll show you your future!

Just another thing to think about as you reflect on what you've accomplished in 2007 and what you wish to accomplish for 2008.
