Research has shown that we virtually become like the average of the five people we spend the most time with. - Hal Elrod

If you don't control your habits, your habits will control you.

While coming to grips with my new reality wasn’t easy, and at times I couldn’t help but wonder — why did this happen to me? — I had to take responsibility for getting my life back. Instead of complaining about how things should be, I embraced how things were. I stopped putting energy into wishing my life were any different — into wishing bad things didn’t happen to me — and instead focused 100% on making the best of what I had. Since I couldn’t change the past, I focused on moving forward. I dedicated my life to fulfilling my potential and achieving my dreams so I could discover how to empower others to do the same.

If you don’t make the commitment today to start becoming the person you need to be to create the extraordinary life you really want, what makes you think tomorrow — or next week, or next month, or next year — are going to be any different? They won’t. And that’s why you must draw your line in the sand.
