You are the sum of the 5 people you hang around. This is not just a saying, it is an actual fact. People who like to play video games, generally hang out with people that play them. If you like to cook, you will surround yourself with people that like to cook. It makes sense because you have similarities with these people. Now think of it in terms of your personal growth. Are you achieving the goals you want in your life and making meaningful changes? If not, it may have something to do with the people you are around. The people in your circle will either build you or tear you down.
