Own how others affect you
We are often told we are the product of the 5 people we spend the most time with. This episode explores the cases where this isn't true and what we can learn from examining the relationships we have. We learn that actually, the most significant effect is from those that prevent us from being ourselves. Otherwise, we are free to choose the qualities we are inspired by regardless of how much time we spend with people. Questions to reflect on What are my strengths? When do I feel like I am being myself? I am putting my energy directly into the thing I want to do or is it postponed for some reason? Is there a faster way to reach the lifestyle I want? Who are my idols? Why do I look up to them? Could I have better idols? Who are 5 cool but very different friends to me, what would they tell me to do?
