Did your parents ever tell you this?  To be careful who you hang out with because you are or you become the company that you keep.

I was thinking about it, and I tried to list out some of my friends and the company that I keep.  There are few college presidents in the mix and a few CEO’s of some pretty good size companies.  I have friends with PhDs, and I have friends with AAs.  I have friends that go to AA, and friends that have been with AAA for years.  I have friends that live in very big homes, and friends that are just big.  I have friends that travel all over the world, and I just talked to a friend that just took her 2nd flight – ever.

One thing you could do is take a look at my friend list on Facebook.  I have a list of mentors that build into me.  I have people that I mentor as well.  I like to surround myself with positive people, and its easier to be so when you hang out with them.

I think I understand the socially constructed self, but that’s only one side of the equation.  Still, I am my friends.

Who are your friends?  What do they say about you?  What would they say about you?
