3 years is definitely a long time but that's how long it took me to realize this. Something my mentor often speaks about. "Find the right environment. Your environment is very important." I bet my mentor would be shaking his head to know I took so long to discover this.
Well, here's what happened. The most life changing experience for me is when I had a goal. A goal in life, something my heart wants to achieve. I presumed, most of you would understand what I mean by goals. If you don't, maybe its time you have a goal in your life.
I didn't know by just having a goal, lots of things could change in my life. Of course, taking actions towards it is as important as just having a goal and wishing upon it. But hey, everyone needs to start somewhere, right?
So, why do I agree with the statement that my mentor said about our environment?
I don't think I need to give the definition to what an environment is but to make sure all of us are in the same page here, environment is what I mean by your surrounding. And it is mostly about the people you are often surrounded with.
How do people affect you? Well, if you look back at your environment, you would notice that your thoughts, words and actions changes as you change your group of friends, your environment. The way you think, the words you say and the actions you do is most of the time a habit pattern that you have collected from the environment you are most used to. And that is why, environment says a lot about who you are as well.
So, how did I come to realize this?
Well, being introduced to many things like repetition of goals, following your heart and not the mind, SIEP, Nature's Laws and etc etc, it requires you to put things into practice.
And what's the best way to put things into practice? Of course, when everyone else surrounding you is practicing it as well.
I realized that when I get emotional, it is hard to stay that way for too long. If I don't feel like working on my goals, I end up doing something related to my goals someway.
The reason being is because of my environment. Firstly, my environment, ET Ideas, is mostly filled with people who have goals in their life. Secondly, regardless of whatever obstacles they face or whatever emotions they are in, they are always doing something to move closer towards their goals.
I'm not bragging about my environment here but all I'm saying is to take a look at your environment, your group of friends and truthfully, I repeat here, TRUTHFULLY ask yourself if you are happy with where you are.
If the answer is 'Yes', I'm as happy for you as you are. But if your answer is 'No', you already know what you need to do.
A change of environment is all you need.
