Put this down. Our environment has a way of defining us. It makes us think the way we do, act the way we are and be who we are. It's make us live life in a certain way and with a certain mindset. It create an invisible box that restricts our mind (which is our most powerful asset) to the things within this box, be it positive or negative. The mind is defined as very powerful, but it has been concluded that our environment actually limits its power.
Hardly can we think of one habit, mindset, attitude or manner we didn't pick up or form from people around us. This are the people that makes up our environment. This is an unconscious action. They to a greater extent define who we are.
For instance minor things, like the way we talk or walk, cough, hold a cup, how we spend money, how we think about making and spending money, the kinda of car we drive etc; our preferences for music, art, literature, entertainment, clothing etc; all builds from a very large part of our environment.
Most importantly, the size of our dream, the depth of our thinking, our goal, our attitude, admirations, our mindset are all defined by our environment.
Constant association with negative people, would restrict our mind to negative thinking, and on the order hand constant association with the right people with positive mindset and thinking would always restrict our mind to thinking positive. The content of this environment acts as a seed in our mind and geminate over time to bring forth the fruit that defines who you are.
Additionally, relationship with people with big ideas raises the magnitude of our thinking; close contact with ambitious individuals creates ambitions.
Experts have finally concluded that the individuals we have become today, be it our personality, ambitions, present status in life, are largely the outcome of our psychological environment. And experts have also concluded that the person we will be one, five, ten, twenty years from now depends almost entirely on your future environment.
We will change over the next months and years. This we know and can't run from. But how we will change and what we change to depends on your future environment.
