Ep# 150: Becoming the People Around You
Coffee With Dr. Kashey - A podcast by Dr. Trevor Kashey - Fridays
In this fiery and insightful episode, Dr. Kashey challenges the widely accepted notion that you automatically become like the people you surround yourself with, debunking this flawed belief. He dismantles the oversimplified idea that merely spending time with certain individuals automatically changes your beliefs and actions. He emphasizes the importance of personal choice and free will in shaping one's thoughts, decisions, and values. Rather than accepting that you become the average of the people you hang around, Dr. Kashey encourages listeners to acknowledge the influence of their social circles while retaining the power to make conscious decisions. Through engaging talk and thought-provoking exercises, listeners are encouraged to examine their relationships and consider the constructive and destructive influences they encounter. Dr. Kashey takes us through evaluating negative influences and devising strategies to manage and navigate them effectively. The episode empowers individuals to recognize their agency and make intentional choices, aiming for rational and purposeful living.
