If a flower doesn't bloom, do you blame the flower or do you blame its environment? Right? So imagine like, if this plant didn't bloom, are you going to, like, blame the plant and check the plant? Are you going to check the soil? Are you going to check the light? Are you going to check the air around it, the humidity? Because that's the reason why the plant grows, right? So we are that flower.
This is so important because not enough people pay attention to the environment. They're in their internal environment and also their external environment. They say that you're the average of the five people that you spend the most time with. Are those five people helping you in becoming the person you want to be or hindering you in becoming the person you want to be? A very simple way of thinking about this is the flower. But you can also think of a goldfish. A goldfish, if it's inside of a small tank, only grows to about this big. But a goldfish in a giant pond can grow to over Β£40. The only difference is the environment. Fix your environment and your life will change.
