Who are the five people with whom you spend the most time? Looking at the past and present relationships you have cultivated and the individuals that you have chosen to surround yourself with, can you specifically identify those who have influenced you in some way?

As Jim Rohn famously stated, "you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with," and this Monday morning, we challenge you to examine your relationships and consider what traits you admire most in your closest peers, colleagues, friends, and family. If you find certain characteristics in those individuals that won't enhance or contribute to making you a better person, take caution to not let those relationships have unwarranted influence on you. Influence is an incredibly powerful tool, be aware of those influencing you, and with your influence, be a force for good.
