"You're only as good as the company you keep".

I went to a really inspiring talk by Katie Pitsis last night. Katie is an unbelievable young woman who is a representative of the personal empowerment group Free Spirit Girl. Her life revolves around educating teens on positive body image, self esteem and achieving their goals.

When she spoke to everyone about having a great support network, she recited the Daggermouth quote “You can’t soar like an eagle when you’re hanging with the turkeys”.

What are the people you are surrounded by like? Do they talk about their goals and congratulate you on your achievements? Or do they have Tall Poppy Syndrome and whinge about their job/house/partner/body?

I think you can tell a good friend by the feeling you have after you’ve spent time with them. How many friends do you have who leave you feeling exhilarated and excited about life?
