THE AVERAGE OF THE FIVE PEOPLE WHO HELP US BE WHO WE ARE

“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” – Jim Rohn

This famous quote is not just a provocation; it leads us to a deep reflection on the impact our relationships have on our lives. Each connection we establish reveals our priorities and shapes our destiny in ways that we often fail to perceive. Surrounding ourselves with people who inspire and challenge us elevates us, creating an environment conducive to growth and the realization of our dreams. A clear example of this is the transformation many experience when they surround themselves with mentors or friends who confront their limiting beliefs, leading them to achieve goals that once seemed unattainable.
At the same time, it is essential to understand that individuation is also a fundamental process in building meaningful relationships. This process refers to the development of personal identity and self-awareness, allowing each individual to understand their own needs and values. The better we know ourselves, the more capable we are of establishing authentic and healthy connections with others. For example, when we feel secure in our own identity, our self-esteem strengthens, attracting people who not only complement but also enrich our journey, rather than merely filling emotional gaps.
From this perspective, it becomes clearer that the way we relate to others reflects our choices, beliefs, and values. Our interactions, whether with ourselves or with others, profoundly affect who we are and who we are becoming. Therefore, it is crucial to question: what do our relationships reveal about us? This introspection leads us to understand that each connection has significant potential for our personal evolution. If we are not attentive to the type of relationship we cultivate, we run the risk of being influenced in ways that distance us from our deepest goals and values.
According to social psychology, the quality of relationships is directly related to our well-being and our personal and professional growth. Healthy interactions promote greater satisfaction and happiness in our lives, contributing to a deeper sense of purpose and fulfillment. On the other hand, toxic relationships can undermine our self-esteem and weaken our capacity to evolve and thrive.
By understanding the importance of our connections, we are invited to discern between those that elevate us and those that limit us. Each interaction can either propel us forward or stagnate us in our journey of self-discovery. The fact is that cultivating relationships that resonate with our true essence becomes a vital practice to nourish our values and preserve our mental well-being. Awareness in relationships is not only desirable; it is essential.
So, think: what kind of relationships have you been nurturing in your life? Are they truly aligned with who you are and who you wish to become? After all, the quality of the people around us is a mirror of what we value, and it is through these connections that we often find the strength to grow and thrive.
Today, in this article, I will delve deeply into how the relationships we cultivate shape our identity and influence our personal and professional paths. I will discuss the importance of surrounding ourselves with people who inspire and elevate us, as well as the crucial role of self-knowledge in building meaningful connections. We will also address how discerning between healthy and toxic relationships can impact our well-being and growth. Through this reflection, we will seek to better understand how each interaction shapes us and how we can intentionally create a support circle that helps us flourish in all areas of our lives.

Cultivating Conscious Relationships

The relationships we cultivate act as mirrors, reflecting our priorities and aspirations. They not only reveal our current essence but also illuminate the path to what we can become. However, one of the most common misconceptions in modern society is the lack of clarity about the type of relationship we genuinely seek to enrich our lives. Often, we confuse the quality of our interactions with the quantity of likes and superficial connections, valuing “having” over “being.” Sincerity and authenticity, as well as a person’s virtues, are frequently overshadowed by the attachment to status and trivialities.
This confusion ultimately distances us from the true purpose of human connections: mutual growth and personal transformation. In a world where the quantity of interactions often substitutes for depth, it is easy to fall into the trap of believing we are surrounded by people when, in fact, we may be immersed in existential emptiness. The pursuit of social approval and the need for immediate recognition are challenges we all face, reflecting a natural need for belonging. However, if we are not careful, this search can lead us to form bonds that contribute little to our development, keeping us trapped in cycles of superficiality and ephemeral satisfaction, rather than directing our energies towards connections that truly nurture our personal growth.
When we understand that authentic connections are much more than friendly support—they are those that challenge us to grow and know ourselves more deeply—we begin to choose with greater intentionality the people we relate to. This process involves discerning which interactions propel us toward a more aligned and genuine version of ourselves and which perpetuate stagnation and superficiality. Cultivating these relationships is, in reality, an act of courage that requires the willingness to leave behind what no longer resonates with our essence, making space for new experiences and truly meaningful bonds.
In this sense, our focus should be on practicing this clarity and discernment, recognizing that the quality of our connections defines much of who we are. By valuing “Being”—and not “Having”—we create spaces to find our best version, in the company of people who share and add to our values and who help us achieve a state of authenticity and continuous evolution.
Another significant misunderstanding lies in the failure to comprehend that prioritizing the quality of our relationships is not about creating social circles with people who think the same way; it is about transforming them into a space that inspires us through uniqueness and differences, where diversity and the exchange of ideas are naturally embraced. Instead of yielding to excesses, whether in opinions, beliefs, biases, absolute truths, or the search for victims and culprits, we nurture an environment of mutual respect, in which genuine exchanges and collective building prevail, promoting growth that transcends judgments and superficial divisions fueled by distorted passions. Ethics, in all its forms, remains a fundamental value in all healthy human relationships.
How many times have you asked yourself: How have I cultivated my relationships? Which of them truly elevate me, and which perpetuate a state of stagnation? This reflection is essential; after all, if you take a deep breath now and allow yourself to feel, you will soon realize that some of your interactions are just the same old routine, draining your energy and obscuring your sense of living. Don’t be fooled! The quality of the connections we establish is not just a detail; it is the essential foundation for our evolution as human beings.
In this sense, as we delve into the complexity of human relationships, it becomes clear that our connections shape our personas. This reminds me of a reflection from Nietzsche that states, “life without music would be a mistake,” suggesting that life, without truly meaningful relationships, would be equally incomplete. Each interaction we cultivate reflects not only our feelings but also the values that underpin our deepest aspirations.
Thus, be aware that the connections we establish are not by chance, nor are they random; they reflect aspects of ourselves that we choose to reveal or conceal. In other words, the relationships we build become an empowered self-image, revealing our essence, our vulnerabilities, fears, and aspirations. Hence arise two crucial questions: What image are we seeing of ourselves? Are we truly seeking deep friendships, or have we settled for superficiality to avoid the confrontation of being authentic?
Cultivating conscious relationships goes beyond choosing people who “make us feel good.” It’s about affections; surrounding ourselves with those who allow us to transcend our limitations and represent parts of ourselves that we have not yet fully integrated. When we interact with individuals who challenge us to see beyond our personal narratives, we create a richer reality, aligned with our authentic self. Healthy, conscious relationships are, in essence, acts of courage—choices that pull us out of our usual comfort zones and place us present in our true journeys. This requires intentionality and attention. Evaluating the relationships we maintain is a continuous exercise in reflection. Are you now able to answer: Which of your relationships broaden your perspective, and which keep you in the same place?
I hope you have already understood that cultivating healthy relationships is not a simple matter of affinity. To transform our relationships into a rich and harmonious symphony, we must first relate healthily to ourselves, in a fundamental note that, together, creates the unique melody of our existence, revealing that the relationships that matter are those that challenge us to become the best version of ourselves.
Now, it is crucial to be aware that, even though it sounds paradoxical, for this symphony to resonate with authenticity, it is imperative to dedicate moments to solitude. In these moments, we find the necessary space to relate to ourselves, thus strengthening the foundation for genuine and enriching interactions with others.

The Solitude of Individualization

Solitude, far from being a withdrawal and much less a sign of isolation and sadness, is an essential return to oneself. It is in the silent and intimate space that our voice, stripped of external influences that distort our perception, gains clarity. This moment of lucidity allows us to reflect on our choices and illuminate the paths we truly wish to follow. In a world saturated with incessant stimuli, deafening noise, and dubious relationships, this state of tranquility is more than a refuge; it is a continuous rediscovery of who we are in the now. It is in this silence that we understand that true connections flourish not through filling voids, but through wholeness, sustained in completeness and not in dependency.
The journey of individualization, this path that leads us to self-knowledge, is, by nature, solitary. Carl Jung, when stating that “your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart,” reminds us of the importance of this internal dive. This process not only favors the enhancement of being but also deepens the understanding of the dynamics of what we lack and what connects us to others, as well as the impact these connections exert on our feelings.
In the pause we give ourselves, we realize that it is in emptiness that the new reveals itself. This practice is not a burden but a vital passage to purify and understand how we got here and to perceive that it is on this path that we find the answer to the people we attract into our lives that resonate with our austerity. Those who share this energy become aware of not creating bonds out of necessity but out of affinity, generating a connection that transcends the superficial. By embracing this journey of self-knowledge, we prepare ourselves for fuller and more conscious relationships.
In the absence of this introspective lucidity, we become victims of ourselves, facilitating the formation of relationships that, instead of elevating us, become anchors that limit our evolution. Thus, solitude becomes a powerful ally, allowing for a deep dive into the silence of our soul, where it is possible to discern which connections are genuinely meaningful and which merely occupy space, stanching our voids like patches, keeping us in repetitive cycles. Have you heard of “toxic people”—that tendency to surround ourselves with individuals who do not contribute to our growth? This is precisely the risk we run, perpetuating bonds that drain our energy and sabotage our potential.

Relationships with Anchors and Energizers

In this context, it is worth deeply reflecting on our choices. As we have seen so far, the people around us are not mere presences; they act as co-authors of the narrative of our lives. Therefore, I want to discuss “anchor” and “energizer” people, and explore not only our well-being but also the vibrational frequency we wish to align with our existence. Choosing to be with individuals who vibrate in harmony with our purposes is essential for co-creating a reality where growth and expansion become continuous. These connections aim not to validate us but to challenge, nurture, and share our journey authentically.
Therefore, as we reflect on all that we have discussed so far, ask yourself the following crucial question: Are you surrounded by more “energizers” or “anchors”?
To clarify: “energizers” are those who uplift us, boost our self-esteem, and inspire us to explore new horizons. They illuminate our path with positive energy and enthusiasm, acting as catalysts for our potential. In contrast, “anchors” symbolize connections that root us negatively. These relationships manifest as echoes of unresolved insecurities and fears, reflecting aspects of ourselves that still need to be liberated. They challenge us to discern whether they are there to teach us something valuable or if they are mere manifestations of repetitive patterns that keep us trapped. By choosing to cut these ties, we practice an act of self-love, raising our frequency and aligning our journey with our inner truth.
Moreover, anchors have the potential to make us feel inferior, feeding doubts about our abilities and potentials. When reflecting on whom we invest our time and energy, it is essential to consider the impact these relationships have on our capacity to become better people. Being next to an anchor can create a toxic environment, stifling our creativity and inhibiting our progress.
Imagine being surrounded by people who, although they share the same space, constantly drag you down with destructive criticism and a negative outlook on life. These individuals, often convinced of their limiting views, minimize your achievements and devalue your choices. A new outfit or the purchase of a new car, for example, can become a target of ridicule rather than being met with praise, turning a personal achievement into an undeserved obligation.
Beware! Anchor people are always present in our social circles. They disguise themselves as agreements with what we think and how we act. These anchored relationships often emerge when we struggle to deal with differences. They reflect our own fears and insecurities, creating a vicious cycle that traps our minds and limits our potential. To continue on our journey, it is necessary to have the clarity that anchors arise, take hold, and persist because we allow it.
Recognizing these anchors is a vital step toward building relationships that promote our well-being and connect us to our true essence. Have you ever felt stuck in a relationship that led you nowhere? This introspection is fundamental. If we are relating to anchor people, it is because something is lacking in us, like a shadow. By acknowledging our shortcomings, we can free ourselves from these limiting connections and make space for relationships that truly uplift us.
Now, when we are at peace with ourselves, we tend to surround ourselves with “vitaminized” people, after all, we are encouraged to shine, explore new possibilities, and become the best version of ourselves. This transformation transcends a mere choice; it is about cultivating what we have best and improving everything that needs to be enhanced, and our relationships with healthy people have everything to do with it.

The Toxic Pattern of Relationships

Jim Rohn, with his powerful statement about the “average of the five people,” invites us to reflect on the profound impact that relationships in our lives have on who we are and who we become. The human being is a singular entity, in a continuous evolutionary process. Each of us advances at our own pace, navigating the realities around us and seeking to understand our purpose in life. Therefore, I reiterate that the quality of the connections we establish is crucial; they not only shape our perceptions and behaviors but also directly influence our personal and emotional growth at the pace we set for ourselves.
For this reason, nothing is static; everything is in transformation! Understanding that relationships are not fixed is a real challenge; they evolve or dissolve according to our own internal evolution. By accepting that each connection reflects our present moment, we recognize the importance of practicing detachment, cultivating a presence that allows for the emergence of the new. Each life cycle brings new people and, with them, learnings that need to be integrated for our growth. The relationship process is always a unique cycle of integration.
However, it is crucial to be aware of the temptations and toxic patterns that can manifest in interpersonal relationships. These patterns often arise in subtle but devastating ways, disguised as affection. Just like anchors camouflaged as lambs, alternating between praise and criticism, these “care and disdain” dynamics create an emotional dependency that becomes destructive over time. Psychologists like Brad Bushman demonstrate in their studies that relationships characterized by emotional manipulation tend to result in serious psychological damage, culminating in mental illness, which can range from anxiety to deep depression, and sometimes lead us down a self-deprecating path with no return.
In this sense, it is always worth reinforcing that every anchor person is, in some way, toxic because these relationships undermine our dreams, wills, and desires. However, there are those who go beyond that. Their behavioral deviations tend toward sociopathy; they are skilled manipulators who cause incalculable harm in our lives. These people not only trap us in cycles of negativity but also corrupt our perception of reality and undermine our self-esteem, leading us to question our abilities and worth.
The central difference between anchors and toxic people lies in the emotional dependence that the latter creates. Anchors, although harmful, often generate bonds based on insecurities and fears, making us feel guilty when we try to free ourselves. In contrast, toxic people use emotional manipulation to keep us under their control. A clear and common example of this is a friendship where one person constantly makes you feel responsible for their emotional well-being. If you try to distance yourself, they threaten to enter a crisis state or say they wouldn’t be able to live without you, creating a guilt dynamic that limits your freedom. This emotional dependence creates a vicious cycle where your self-confidence is drained, and your mental health is compromised.
Toxic people are articulate and not easy to decipher, but they often show some subtle signs, such as monopolizing conversations, suffocating others’ voices. For them, their own problems always seem more relevant, creating an environment where empathy is nonexistent. When you try to share your experiences, you may feel discredited, as if your pain or joy is irrelevant. This behavior reflects a profound selfishness that results in “fragile connections that lack authenticity.”
A classic example is that friend who, upon hearing about your accomplishments, quickly shifts the focus to their own experiences, devaluing your victories. Have you ever encountered someone who narrates their life as if they are the only one who has truly suffered? These people often present a narrative of victimization, where their pain becomes “exclusive.” The victim role, intertwined with a sense of superiority, undermines the possibility of truly meaningful connections.
Furthermore, toxic people do not hesitate to criticize your choices — from what you wear to your relationships — while positioning themselves as saviors. The emotional dependence they cultivate creates a vicious cycle that drains your self-confidence. It’s worth noting a study by the American Psychological Association that highlighted that controlling relationships are among those that most mentally harm people worldwide, revealing the gravity of this dynamic.
When you realize this condition, you often have already lost the essence of who you truly are, becoming a concave reflection of your surroundings. The challenge lies in identifying these toxic relationships and having the courage to distance yourself in search of interactions that promote your true individuality and growth.

The Cycle of Evolution and Challenges in Interpersonal Relationships

If you’ve made it this far, you already understand that in the intricate labyrinth of human relationships, where superficial interactions often overshadow truly meaningful connections, we face a provocative truth: as we evolve, the task of cultivating a circle of healthy connections intensifies. This reality can be challenging because, as we seek greater alignment with our essence, relationships that do not resonate with our evolution become more evident. As previously discussed, it is in this context that we must reflect on the nature of the choices we make in our interactions.
It is worth mentioning Harville Hendrix, who reminds us that “the people closest to us should be the ones who support us most in our journey of self-discovery.” However, we often encounter those who reinforce our limitations rather than challenge our convictions, reflecting the dynamics of toxic bonds we have already explored. This phenomenon is understood through behavioral psychology, which teaches us that interactions shape not only our behaviors but also our self-image and self-esteem.
Thus, it is essential to look within and reflect on our feelings and motivations. Kierkegaard wisely said, “Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.” This introspection is not merely an exercise in self-understanding; it is a path that helps us to habitually ask ourselves with sincerity which relationships truly support us and which keep us trapped in limiting patterns. By doing so, we realize that our relationships are ultimately choices — each one influences the others, creating a feedback loop that shapes our existence.
By recognizing the depth of the connections we cultivate, we understand that they are reflections of our beliefs, values, and aspirations. The relationships we choose to maintain speak about us and directly impact our personal and emotional development. In this context, it is vital to develop the ability to discern the relationships that elevate us from those that hold us back. For this, empathy is also needed!
Empathy is not just an act of understanding, but a vital skill that allows us to connect with the essence of another, recognize their struggles and victories, and thus foster a space for mutual growth. When we allow ourselves to understand the other in their entirety, we create bonds that transcend superficiality and strengthen our commitment to our own development.
In a cycle of evolution, empathy also acts as a catalytic filter, enabling us not only to understand the needs and limitations of others but also to express our own authentically. The healthiest relationships emerge when each party feels seen and heard, which in turn encourages a joint evolution where everyone becomes a better version of themselves. In this context, there is no room for toxic individuals.
Thus, by cultivating empathy, we not only recognize the value of the connections we build but also become more aware of the impact of our affections. This awareness is fundamental for breaking harmful cycles, and instead of allowing ourselves to be held back by toxic relationships, we choose to cultivate an environment that fosters growth and authenticity.
It is worth remembering Carl Jung’s words: “Those who do not know history are condemned to repeat it.” Therefore, by exploring our relationships in a lucid and introspective manner, we have the opportunity to learn from what surrounds us and become active agents in our transformation. After all, the quality of our connections is intrinsically linked to our evolution as human beings.

Resilience in Deep Relationships

Viktor Frankl, Holocaust survivor and founder of logotherapy, argues in his book “Man’s Search for Meaning” that even in the most adverse circumstances, deep and meaningful relationships are essential for resilience and purpose. Frankl found strength in his bonds, even amid extreme suffering, proving that the quality of relationships can be the foundation amidst the storm. He writes: “The forces that sustain us in the worst crises are often the connections we have with others.”
I invite you, now that we have arrived here and you are probably more aware of yourself, to ask: Which relationships truly elevate your spirit and challenge your essence? The answer to this question can serve as a beacon, guiding you in identifying bonds that are truly worth investing in.
Here, I want to provoke further discussion. Of these relationships that came to your mind as an answer, which of them are you genuinely open to embracing your vulnerability? Without vulnerability, there is no authenticity; it is the key that unlocks deep and meaningful connections.
In this sense, as we reflect on the idea that we are the average of the five people we spend the most time with, it is crucial to recognize which of them possess authenticity and encourage us to be who we truly are, stripping away our insecurities and embracing our essence. In other words, I am raising this provocation because perhaps, even arriving here, you have not realized that the five relationships in your mind are not necessarily healthy but may reflect a significant part of your persona. But do not blame yourself! Sometimes, we surround ourselves with people who comfort us in our comfort zone but do not challenge us to grow. This is one of the subtle traps of life that prevents us from exploring our true potential.
This perspective may not seem overly optimistic, but if you consider that you are part of a world filled with superficial interactions, it may help you understand that depending on where you are on your journey, having even one authentic connection is already something to celebrate!
In other words, as I mentioned at the beginning of this text, the path to our fullness as “Beings” tends to become increasingly solitary. The higher the climb, the rarer healthy relationships become. Thus, it is easier to find anchors that hold us down than balloons that help us rise!
This reality brings us back to the same reflection: to form an intimate and authentic circle, it is necessary to develop a profound self-awareness and have a clear purpose regarding our choices in the present. The fact is that we are intrinsically relational beings, and each relationship has its reason for existing. They are not only necessary but also a vital source of learning. When we are open to this, we begin to value each interaction, recognizing that they all offer opportunities for growth, whether healthy or not. The true secret may lie in the choice of which of these relationships we allow to remain in our lives! In other words, relating is not only human but necessary; however, that does not mean we should cultivate all relationships. It is essential to recognize and distance ourselves from those that, in some way, intoxicate us or hinder our evolution. To live is, above all, to relate; but for that experience to be healthy and enriching, it is necessary to surround ourselves with people who genuinely resonate with our essence. Thus, as we explore these dynamics, we find not only support but also a safe space for our personal growth and evolution.

In Conclusion

As Aristotle taught us, “we are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.” This wisdom leads us to reflect on the nature of the relationships we cultivate, especially in light of Jim Rohn’s statement. Our connections not only shape our identity but also outline the paths we choose to follow.
I hope that by the time you reach the end of this article, it has become clear that, in our journey of self-discovery, it is vital to engage in an environment that values human diversity, enriched by different thoughts and cultures. Each encounter is unique and transforms into an opportunity for learning. The essence of each relationship lies in affection; we are affected and affect others, and in every interaction, we leave and take something significant. This dynamic is perhaps the greatest reason for our lives. Thus, we can choose to surround ourselves with individuals who not only share our goals but also challenge us to become more authentic versions of ourselves. Healthy relationships are essential for our growth, serving as emotional and intellectual support. They inspire us to transcend self-imposed limits and cultivate habits that promote excellence in all aspects of life.
Therefore, the real question is: who are the five people that shape our average? This reflection goes beyond superficial recognition; it is an invitation to introspection about the impact of these relationships on our mental and emotional state. The connections we choose can be beacons that illuminate our path or anchors that hold us down in a sea of insecurity.
When we nurture ties with those who encourage and challenge us, we expand our individual potential and contribute to an environment that values empathy, solidarity, and authenticity. It is in this safe space that we can explore new dimensions of ourselves, facing challenges with courage. As Carl Jung aptly said, “who looks outside dreams; who looks inside awakes.”
Let us remember that the relationships we cultivate not only reflect our identity but also our emotional state. They are beacons that illuminate our path to transformation. Aristotle also teaches us that “friendship is a single soul dwelling in two bodies; it is a heart inhabiting two souls.” By cultivating genuine friendships, we nourish our evolution and contribute to collective growth.
What choices will you make today to cultivate relationships that inspire your true essence?
On your journey, you are not alone. I am here to assist you in seeking more meaningful connections and overcoming the limitations imposed by relationships that no longer serve your growth.
