You are who you hang with.

I mean, you\\u2019d be hard pressed to find a successful person who surrounds herself with the hopeless. Nor will you find the loser who keeps company with the ambitious.\\xa0

As the saying goes \\u2026

You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.\\xa0

According to today\\u2019s QOD speaker, there are two types of people: the nourishing and the toxic.\\xa0

For some reason, we tolerate the toxic people in our lives. We allow them to tell us what we can and can\\u2019t do, to criticize our intentions to improve our circumstances, to remain in our lives.

As Les Brown says, \\u201cmost people never achieve their true goals in life because they\\u2019re surrounded with too many toxic people.\\u201d

It\\u2019s time for a detox.

Because you have something special. You have greatness in you. And you deserve to have the very best people on your team. To encourage you. To support you. To expect nothing less from you than the greatness that lies within.

There were about six quotes I could have featured from today\\u2019s QOD talk. Whenever Les Brown is onstage you know you\\u2019re in store for all kinds of quotables. Take your pick!
