1% Friends: The Secret to Dramatic Life Improvement

No. 2 - A simple lifehack to dramatically improve your life overnight

Drop your friends.

If you want to be the 1% in anything in life, stop being friends with the 99%.

Be selective about who you spend most of your time with. Maintain a wide network of acquaintances. Treat everyone with kindness and respect.

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

Consider this:

• If you have weak friends, you may gradually lose your own strength and resilience.

• If you have lazy friends, you might start to think being unproductive is acceptable.

• If you have less intellectually curious friends, you may begin to accept simplistic or misguided ideas as truth.

• If you have negative friends, your world view may slowly darken.

• If your friends lack financial literacy, you might adopt poor money management habits.

• If you associate with people who don't value personal growth, you may become complacent with your current level of knowledge and skills.

• If your friends are consistently late or unreliable, you might start to view punctuality and reliability as optional.

• If you surround yourself with people who don't respect boundaries, you may find it harder to set and maintain your own personal boundaries.

• If you associate with people who have questionable ethics, your own moral compass may gradually become skewed.

• If your circle doesn't value diversity and inclusion, you might develop a narrow worldview.

The solution? Be friends with people who share the same life goals, values, and growth mindset.

YOU ARE THE COMPANY YOU KEEP.

If you wouldn't want your children to grow up to be like your friends, it's time to reevaluate those relationships.

You can have many acquaintances, but have fewer friends.

In life, less is more. Only keep the good ones.

Remember, your future self is shaped by your present company. Choose wisely.
