Ever failed in one environment but thrived in another?
How much does your environment actually shape you?
A lot more than most people admit.
We’re told:
🗣️ “It’s all on you.”
🗣️ “You make your own bed.”
🗣️ “You’re the master of your own destiny.”
But here’s the truth…
If someone wants to recover from alcoholism,
what’s the first thing professionals recommend?
✅ Don’t go where alcohol is served
✅ Remove alcohol from the home
✅ Join AA and surround yourself with others in recovery
Three actions.
All environmental.
So if you’re trying to:
– Leave a toxic work culture
– Relocate to a new country
– Reinvent your career or lifestyle
The same principle applies.
Before you blame yourself, ask:
📍 What’s around me?
📍 Who am I spending time with?
📍 Is this the right soil for me to grow?
Your definition of success isn’t someone else’s.
🍷 Quitting alcohol might give someone a whole new life
💼 Switching careers might lift someone out of burnout
🌍 Leaving home for the first time might open up a new world
Environment isn’t everything.
But it’s often the difference between surviving and thriving.
