You Are Who You Hang With

Dooley Noted: 6/1/2015
 

Last night, we completed our first ever anatomy seminar in Europe.
 
 
We celebrated with our host at the top of Europe’s highest building, The Shard.
 
 
As we engrossed ourselves in laughter and deep conversations, my friend Rob turned to us and thanked us for our presence.
 
 
It was at that point that I finally realized you are who you hang with.
 
 
I’ve heard this phrase throughout my life and never quite let it sink in.
 
Rob and Anna chose to spend their night with me because I am a reflection of part of them.
 
 
They want to learn as much from me as I from them.
 
 
As usual, Rob can get me talking about the depths of my soul with one observation about my jaw.
 
Anna can flip any observation going negative into a learning experience through which growth can be obtained.
 
 
And now – as I head into Catalyst SPORT, I’ll be surrounded by therapists, trainers, and clients who dedicate every day to the maintenance of health and fitness.
 
 
As long as you surround yourself with greatness, you are also great.
 
 
On tough days, they will help you rise up to a standard to which you want to hold yourself.
 
 
So, choose your company wisely. Consider if they are bringing you down instead of raising you up.
 
 
And consider what you bring to the table, too.
 
 
As always, it’s your call.
