Mastering your environment

Your life right now is the way it is because of so many factors, and one of the most influential factor that is contributing to shape your life and your decision making is no other than your environment, you see as human beings we need to interact with our surroundings, we just cannot avoid that interaction whether it's with people, things, or events.

So every aspect of our life is the result of our interaction with the environment we live in, both positive and negative, and that's what we need to be aware of when we're thinking about introducing a set of changes in our lives, every decision, action and position taken is a result of your reaction to the energy your environment is transmitting to you. 

Being aware of how you're reacting to your environment is indeed crucial to one's development, because most of the times, we think about change, and in most cases we follow that desire for change with first hand actions, the thing is that we're unable to spot the results, and we think that there's something wrong with the way we acted upon this desired change, in fact we neglect that it might be something else which's responsible for the slow growth, we often go past thinking that it might be our environment that is causing all the stalling. 

Making changes in the same kind of environment that was preventing us from achieving growth, is quite challenging, and it requires a really strong mindset and a irreproachable discipline, that most of us don't have, that's why considering updating our environment is more that required for considerate growth and development. 

Often times changing the environment we're surrounded by seem too much of a work, but in reality it is more easy than forcing yourself to acquire the discipline that is needed for growth, forcing yourself to ignore the distraction of your toxic environment is more difficult, because you can't expect to have results within the first trials, you could make it work, but for the most of us it is really heavy psychological work that we need to develop in order to meet our goals in this kind of surroundings. 

So upgrading to a more healthy and growth friendly environment is important at a certain point of our lives, once we're aware of the importance of our goals, and the huge potential of our ideas, we will need to make a decision whether we want that shift in success or not, you can't expect to have same kind of results in the same kind of surroundings.

Whether it's related to our relationships, to our work, the place we live in, the country we reside in or anything that you think is preventing you from achieving big success, it needs to be abandoned for an environment that is more healthy more success friendly, filled with opportunities and growth potential, we're human beings and we interact with everything that is surrounding us, and that where we subtract the energy to feel better, to do better and to live better.
