We tend to take on the attitudes, the characteristics, sometimes the mannerisms, sometimes even speech patterns, definitely thoughts and attitudes, and often even beliefs of the people that we spend the most time with.
Ever wondered how much the people around you shape your life? Valerie Silveira dives into this fascinating topic in her episode 'We Become Who We Spend Time With'. Drawing from her own life experiences, Valerie shares how the company we keep can significantly influence our attitudes, beliefs, and even our thoughts. She recalls telling her kids, 'If you hang out with bank robbers, eventually you will become a bank robber'.
While it might sound extreme, it underscores a vital point: our associations matter more than we often realize. Valerie highlights the importance of surrounding ourselves with positive influences. Negative associations can drag us down, make us feel stuck, or even helpless. On the flip side, positive associations can lift us up, inspire us, and fill us with hope.
Valerie encourages listeners to take a good look at their social circles and consider the traits of those they spend the most time with. By choosing the right people to associate with, even for short periods, we can profoundly impact our lives. This episode is a call to action to reflect on your relationships and make conscious choices that lead to a brighter, more hopeful future.
