Who do you spend your time with?

You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.

- Jim Rohn

It seems that lately this quote or something similar keeps coming across my desk.  Who you spend time with has a great influence as to who you are!  When you associate with positive people, you have a very hard time remaining negative.  When are with high energy people, you too become energized.

The same holds true for successful people.  I think of the phrase, "success breeds success." How true!

If you find yourself in a low energy, negative state that seems to be stuck ... take a look at the people you are associating with.  If they seem to be in the same state of being; maybe it's time to find new people!

MLK Day of Service ...

Everybody can be great.  Because anybody can serve.  You don't have to have a college degree to serve.  You don't have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve.... You don't have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve.  You only need a heart full of grace.  A soul generated by love.

 ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

I cannot always control what goes on outside. But I can always control what goes on inside.

~ Wayne Dyer

This statement is something that I think we need a constant reminder.  How we re-act to situations, how we feel about something, is always within our control.

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.
