Take a moment to think about the five people you hang out with the most. Friends, colleagues, partners – who are they?

As the old adage goes, "You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with." These close companions significantly impact your life, and choosing them wisely is essential.

Some long-time friends may no longer be a positive influence, and it's okay to let those relationships evolve.

You must make a conscious effort to remove toxic people from your life. These people can be those who are negative, passive-aggressive, or who never seem to improve their own lives.

The ideal companions are those who help you improve by challenging you to learn and grow.

Just as iron sharpens iron, surrounding yourself with successful people will help you become sharper.
