A new twist on an old concept:
"the five people that surround you are the average of the actions you take and the mindset you have"
This is an interesting concept that came to mind as I'm currently 20% through my NLP Master Practitoner training.
It's a play on words from the old "you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with".
The trainer was talking about "perception is projection" and how our life around us outside of our bodies is a result of what occurs on the inside. He framed it up in a 100% literal (quantum physics) sense.
The purpose of the lecture was to give us a higher level of personal accountability.
Then I realized that the "five people" in my life usually came about only when I took the actions necessary to be at the level they were at.
When I went to my first B&P (fine...Fastlane Summit), I met three other fastlaners in the same shoes as me and we all were in the same stage of life as eachother...going through the same struggles.
But they only came into my network because of the actions I took. Then, when we all took action- a multi-millionaire mentor came into our life. But ONLY after we took action and we're ready.
So I'm coming to believe that the goal is NOT to simply seek out people to surround ourself with (example; "I'm new here - can MJ mentor me!?) but to transform into the person first and then know others will surround you.
I think I heard it before as "when the student is ready, the mentor appears"
I now view this at a literal level. Master prac is some trippy stuff
Has anyone noticed this in their life where people appear at just the right times?
