Mel Robbins cites a Harvard study on how people make major life changes. Two paths: a traumatic event like illness or divorce, or deliberately surrounding yourself with people who share your goals and habits. The second one you can actually choose.
Do you know that when researchers from Harvard looked at people who had made a major change in their lives in a positive way— okay, so you take a group of people that made a major change in their life. Half of those people, the reason why that change happened is because something either traumatic or something that was a major life event happened. They got cancer, they lost somebody they love, they got a divorce, they suddenly were laid off, they lost all their money. Like, something happened that was a major life event that rocked them. And you know what You know what happens when that happens to you? First, it's horrendous, but it usually leads to something very positive happening. Now, the other half of the people who had made a very positive change in their life, do you want to know what they did? What they did is they changed their friends. They started surrounding themselves with people that were up to the same thing that they wanted to be doing.
