The Shows You Watch

The people we spend time with
influence how successful we are.

They influence how hard we work,
how we deal with failure,
how big our goals are.

This includes the people
we surround ourselves with online
AND
the ‘people’ we watch on TV.

If you doubt this,
listen and watch
a TV watching 5 year old.
She’ll likely have the mannerisms
and the vocabulary of the TV characters.

What we see becomes normal for us.
When I watch an episode of Real Housewives,
I tend to bicker and fight
with the people around me.
I grow dissatisfied with my house.
I’m less likely to work hard.
Because these attitudes
don’t drive me toward my goals,
I rarely watch Real Housewives.

Are you surrounding yourself
with people,
both real and imaginary,
who drive you toward your goals?
