Is it true that the people you surround yourself with matter? What situation have you been through that made it clear to you that your company matters?

 

Let me give you an example. There was this guy, let’s call him Alex. He used to be one of the most creative people in his circle—a talented artist, full of ideas and ambition. But over time, something changed. His motivation started fading. His friends? They were great for fun and laughs but had zero interest in his passion. Slowly, they started convincing him that his art wasn’t practical, that he should do something “real.”

 

Without realizing it, Alex began absorbing that energy. His ideas stopped flowing, and his passion seemed to dry up. It wasn’t until he connected with a new group—people who were also creators and dreamers—that he saw the difference. Suddenly, he had a fresh burst of creativity. Their encouragement pushed him to paint again, and he felt alive with purpose.

 

That’s when he realized: who you spend your time with isn’t just important—it’s everything.
