Motivational speakers never tire of repeating the mantra that the people with whom one associates are a reflection of one's aspirations. If you choose to spend your time in the company of individuals whose priorities are conducive to personal growth and financial or spiritual enhancement, then chances are you too will direct your energies in those directions. If you associate with individuals whose interests fall into dissolute or dishonest pursuits, then it's a good bet that's where your energies will go as well.
