Hard work, talent, motivation, discipline, sacrifice, and a little bit of luck tend to be mentioned by people when asked about what it takes to be successful.
Despite the fact that these factors may contribute to success, we tend to overlook one of the most crucial elements. Our environment.
Our environments have a profound influence on our lives, yet we consistently underestimate their impact.
We are the products of the people we associate with, and they have a large influence on whether we succeed or fail.
Our environment matters deeply to us.
But why are parents curious about who their kids hang out with?
Children pick up the attitudes, habits, and behaviors of their closest friends.
Although we seem to care deeply about our children's environment, we do not seem to care as much for ourselves.
We think we're more capable of making independent decisions, less susceptible to outside influences.
But let's be real.
Protecting kids isn't that much harder than protecting ourselves.
It's no wonder divorce is contagious.
You learn a language faster if you surround yourself with the same language.
We always mimic our surroundings, whether we are aware of that or not.
You have the ability to choose every day.
You have the option of fighting the notion that your environment influences you (a lose-lose situation) or shaping your environment so that it impacts your happiness and fulfillment.
How Can You Influence Your Environment?
Your social circle plays an important role in determining the environment you are in.
You likely know this quote from Jim Rohn: we are the average of the five people we spend the most time with.
The environment around you influences you both in good and bad ways even if you're not the average person.
Be aware of who you spend your time with.
You should consider in particular how you feel when you are with the person.
Do you feel motivated, empowered, or happy when you are with them?
Or is it always making you feel sad, angry, and uncertain?
Don't waste your time with people who bring you down; instead, spend it with those who lift you up.
More pushers are needed if we are to foster an environment that fosters greatness.
We mostly surround ourselves with supporters rather than pushers.
Try to find the individuals who always seem to be pushing themselves; there's a good chance that they will encourage you to reach your goals as well.
This is why “Keep Moving Forward” is such a crucial part of Cloud Employee both in terms of supporting its members and encouraging them to be better.
We accept them as they are, while also encouraging them to learn as much as they can.
In order to adopt a positive mindset, you shouldn't spend too much time on the internet or on social media.
As a result, I'd like to propose that we all develop habits or systems that make such negative influences harder to find or easier to avoid.
I also advise that we be cautious about who we follow on social media.
Shop according to your grocery list; avoid temptations until they fade from your mind.
As a result, you will slowly shape your environment to reflect the goals you have set for yourself.
It is Important to Consider your Surroundings
Success and failure are greatly influenced by our environment.
Make your life easier by spending more time with people who make you feel good and encourage you to develop habits that strengthen good behavior, and remove temptations.
