Today's quote has been attributed to Nick Cannon but there is no definitive evidence that he said it. The exact quote has no other clear verified attribution. But since it is widely attributed to Nick Cannon I'm going with that.
Nick Cannon is an American comedian, actor, television and radio host, producer, writer, and entrepreneur. He began performing as a teenager and went on to create and host Wild 'N Out, host America's Got Talent and The Masked Singer, and work across television, film, music, and radio.
Nick Cannon is attributed with saying.
”Your whole life can be altered just by associating with someone. So yes, be selective.”
Think about the people you spend the most time with.
They influence the way you think.
They influence what you believe is possible.
They influence your habits, your ambitions, and sometimes even the choices you make.
Spend time with people who are curious, and you may become more curious.
Spend time with people who are ambitious, and their ambition can inspire your own.
Spend time with people who encourage you, and you may begin to believe more strongly in yourself.
But the opposite can also be true.
Negative influences can slowly change our attitudes and expectations without us even realizing it.
That's why being selective about the people we allow into our inner circle isn't about judging others.
It's about recognizing the power of our environment.
You don't have to cut everyone out of your life who thinks differently from you.
In fact, some of the most valuable people we meet challenge our assumptions and help us grow.
But the people closest to us should, overall, contribute something positive to our lives.
So here's the question:
Are the people you spend the most time with helping you become the person you want to be?
Because sometimes, changing your life doesn't begin with changing your job, your location, or your circumstances.
Sometimes, it begins with changing who you spend your time with.
Remember, choose your influences carefully. The people around you can help shape the person you become.
That's going to do it for today. I'm Andrew McGivern signing off for now, but I'll be back… tomorrow! Same pod time, same pod station with another Daily Quote.
