Learning from others is one of the richest sources of knowledge towards self mastery.

I like the principle that you are the average of those you spend the most time with. But there is gold to be found from those you spend less time with too.

Maybe it’s how someone helped you. Managed you in an emotional situation. Perhaps it’s how they processed a trauma or their perspective on life.

We all have negatives, weaknesses and things we need to improve. But equally we all have strengths and moments of wisdom. So take the good things you witness and leave the bad.

Collect the ‘gold coins’ to be come stronger, and thank people for helping you along the way.
