In-fluence

If you’re serious about changing yourself and your life, you must change your environment.*
Ben Hardy

Influence is itself a watery word: … “The action or fact of flowing in; inflowing, inflow, influx, said of the action of water or other fluids, and of immaterial things.”**
Robert Macfarlane

An environment can be
a person, an idea, a role, a place, a narrative, a group, an influencer, a book, and more –
When we appreciate how environments
are places of influence, then
it makes sense to choose carefully and wisely.

The best environments are completely
interactive and mutual –
We must be careful around those that are not,
Especially when we are that environment
to others.
