The Power of Positivity: Why Surrounding Yourself with Quality People Matters

In our journey through life, the company we keep can greatly influence our personal and professional growth. Surrounding yourself with quality people—those who inspire, challenge, and uplift you—can be the catalyst for achieving your goals and enhancing your overall well-being. Cultivating a circle of supportive, positive individuals is crucial, and it can transform your life in remarkable ways.

I deeply believe in the “Five People Rule”. It is a concept that suggests you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. This idea emphasizes the profound influence that your closest companions can have on your life and how those you spend the most time with can shape your thoughts, attitudes, and behaviors. For example, I just had lunch with a client and friend who is just turning 80 years old. She is a retired CEO and is a force to reckon with.  She’s smart, compassionate, funny, interesting and knows a lot about business.  I learn something from her every time I’m with her. She’s retained a healthy social life, loves to travel, and is even considering a year or two abroad. She inspires me. At the same time, I have younger friends I work out with, young professionals who are successful in their own rights. They motivate me to keep up with my own physical activities, and their youthful spirit makes me happy. We all show up every day at the fitness studio, keeping us all accountable.  

I’m grateful for my mentors and friends that have ambition, positivity, empathy, and integrity. These traits contribute to my own personal strength and growth. 

Quality relationships based on the characteristics that make you a better person will improve mental health, reduce stress, and promote greater happiness. Good friends provide a listening ear and empathy during tough times, helping you feel understood and less alone. This emotional support can be crucial in managing stress and maintaining mental health.
