The Power of People

Behaviour change rarely happens in isolation.
It happens in proximity.

We like to believe progress is all discipline and willpower, but the people you surround yourself with quietly shape what feels normal, what feels possible, and what you’re willing to accept from yourself.

Spend time around people who train with intent, who show up consistently, who take ownership of their effort, attitude, and behaviour, and those standards start to rub off. Not because anyone forces them on you, but because expectations become shared. Influence is subtle, but it’s constant.

The same works in reverse.
Low standards spread just as easily.
So does complacency.

The powerful part?
You get to choose.

You get to choose environments that challenge you.
People who reflect the traits you’re trying to build.
People who don’t just support where you are, but hold you to who you’re becoming.

This is true in training.
It’s true in work.
It’s true in life.

If you want to be a stronger, more disciplined, more capable version of yourself, don’t rely on motivation alone. Place yourself in rooms, routines, and relationships where those qualities are expected, not optional.

Growth accelerates when your environment reinforces your intent.

Choose wisely.
It matters more than you think.
