The People at Your Table Determine Your Future

You can predict the direction of your entire life by looking at one simple thing: who sits at your table.

Not the table in your kitchen.

Not the restaurant table.

Not the holiday dinner table.

I mean the table of influence — the people who have your ear, your time, and your energy.

Because the table isn’t just where you eat.

It’s where your mind gets fed.

And what feeds your mind will shape your future in ways you don’t even realize.

⸻

Your Circle Is a Mirror of Your Destiny

Sit with people who gossip, and you’ll start shrinking yourself, wondering whether you’re next on the menu.

Sit with people who complain about money, and you’ll begin believing struggle is normal and success is unrealistic.

Sit with people who laugh at your dreams, and you’ll start lowering the volume on your purpose just to stay comfortable.

But if you sit with people who dream bigger…

people who challenge your excuses…

people who clap when you win…

people who call you higher when you settle…

You won’t just grow —

you’ll rise without even realizing it.

Energy is contagious.

Mindset is transferable.

Conversation is currency.

What your table talks about today becomes what your life looks like tomorrow.

⸻

Your Table Can Build You or Break You

Every conversation is shaping you.

Are the people around you:

⭐ Feeding your vision or starving it?

⭐ Pouring into you or draining you?

⭐ Reminding you of who you were or pushing you toward who you could become?

Most people don’t fail because they aren’t talented.

They fail because they stay at the wrong table too long.

You can’t grow sitting with people who play small.

You can’t elevate sitting with people who fear change.

You can’t build a future surrounded by people committed to their past.

Your Table Is Your Future — Choose It Intentionally

It’s not about the food.

It’s not about the chairs.

It’s not about the vibe.

It’s about the energy,

the vision,

the standards,

the belief,

and the conversations happening around you.

If you want a stronger mind, sit with strong thinkers.

If you want more opportunity, sit with creators and doers.

If you want a bigger future, sit with people who are already walking in theirs.

Your life expands or shrinks depending on the people you let sit close to you.

How to Build a Table That Elevates Your Life

Here’s how to intentionally choose the people who shape your future:

1. Sit with people who clap when you win.

Not secretly compete. Not silently resent.

People who celebrate your growth are priceless.

2. Sit with people who challenge your comfort zones.

Growth only happens when someone asks,

“You can do better — why aren’t you?”

3. Sit with people who talk goals, strategy, and elevation.

If the conversation doesn’t grow you, it’s shrinking you.

4. Sit with people who have the results you want.

You become like the people you spend the most time with — success included.

5. Sit with people who make you rethink what’s possible.

Visionaries see things in you that you can’t see yet.

When You Change Your Table, You Change Your Life

Your table is your future.

Your circle is your forecast.

Your environment is your destiny.

You don’t need luck to change your life —

you need to change your seats.

When you choose your table with intention, everything changes:

Your mindset grows.

Your opportunities increase.

Your confidence rises.

Your standards strengthen.

Your future expands.

So look at your table today and ask yourself:

Is this the table that leads me to the life I want?

Or the life I’m trying to escape?

Because the moment you choose a better table…

you choose a better future.
