    Be intentional about who you spend time with, who you work with, who you serve, and who you listen to.

        There are default options for all of these, and folks who will present as options for these rather insistently, and it is far from obvious that those are the optimal answers.

        The same goes for other personal time spent as well... e.g. it's so easy to just get lost in a vortex of social media and YouTube videos instead of intentionally deciding what you really want to do and what direction you want to go.

        The saying that “you’re the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with” is something that has really resonated with me lately.

        Intentional is a good word for this line of advice as it focuses on self-awareness more than specific action. Often the recommendation is just to be selective, but that's hardly useful to the people who aren't rich in options and end up alone, jobless, customerless and adviceless

        Yeah, but sometimes you need to be alone for a while. Especially if you fear loneliness more than failure, you need to deal with that. If you have a roof over your head, you can afford to take alone time and figure out next steps.

        I cannot express how correct and important this is. Also, how very much I forget to practice it, all the time.
