Most people's lives are a direct reflection of the expectations of their peer group, and that is the quote of the day.

Welcome back to the quote of the day show. I'm your host, Sean Croxton of Sean Croxton dot com. Happy Monday to you. I hope you had a wonderful weekend and that you had time to spend time with amazing people who love you and support you and who lift you up.

Who want nothing but the best for you as well as for themselves. And that's what today's topics all about as you're about to hear Tony Robbins say you become who you spend time with. So if you're you're at the gym or you're driving or you're on a walk or doing whatever I really want you to think about who you are spending time with. Are you lowering your standards to meet theirs. Do they support your successes or do they resent them. And so ponder that today and see what you come up with and here's Tony.

You can allow love by having problems in this culture if you're successful on a regular basis. Do people love you more. No, they love you in the beginning and then they start to resent you why there is it you because when people succeed the only way we know where significant is by comparing to something else.

So what most people do is if they see someone else is succeeding more than they are says saying wow what a great role model isn't that cool. What can I learn how good for them. That's awesome. Instead they go probably stole from somebody.

Isn't that true. Is in Australia they have a term for it but it's around the world they call it the tall poppy syndrome. Right. You get too tall they come and cut your down.

Because they don't want you thinking you're so hot. Why do they so care whether you think you're hot or not.

So they really care about as they think they're less hot than you. It's not how you think about yourself the bothersome.

Instead if you think you're that hot and you really are that hot and I'm not. So there's two ways to have the tallest building in town. One way is tear down everybody else is building.

The other way is keep building yours. And whenever else quits keep building. Most people understand that so they try to tear down right is no people do.

Now I've got some great friends you know the reasons I have some unbelievable successful friends is when they succeed I cheer for them. I'm thrilled for them.

I don't go oh my god that got that night down. Because I know all of us are different lessons times and energies I don't know if that's when I'm committed.

I'm committed to I know I can do that. But if you don't wish somebody else the best you hear about their success and you're not you fork about it.

And you're angry or hurt or tightness inside you then you've just guaranteed you'll never have that level success.

Because if you resent someone else for you teach a brain that that's a bad thing to do in fact you teach your brain this will equal no love.

And we live in a culture it basically when people screw up what happens you feel a hey man I know what feels came here I love your buddy love you you all this love when you screw up.

You're all this love when you fail because people feel a what connection because most people don't succeed that's why you better choose your friends well.

Choose your friends really well. Because if there's anything I can teach you that would change your life it's simply this who you spend time with is who you become.

You lie down with dogs you come up with fleas. And I don't care what it is you know it'll count how smart you are let me tell you why.

If you're with a friend they have a lower standard than you have for your life.

And you hang out with them your standards will eventually lower not because you want low standards but because you love them if you don't want to be angry with them all the time you don't want to be picking a fight with them you don't want to be on the other case.

So eventually you make it okay for them as you make it okay for them a part of you makes it slightly okay and it's no longer a must and your standards drop.
