The environment that surrounds us, matters ...

Relationships should always leave you balancing in a better place than the one you were in.

Otherwise it is worth stopping to think… In practice we know that many times there are people who come into your life and leave a mess. But those are definitely not the relationships that if we could choose (consciously) we would take first choice.

There are reasons why we choose this way, but we'll work on that another day (If you want us to talk about why sometimes we choose something that doesn't suit us, let me know 😉). Today, I appeal to you to ask yourself how is your life since you are surrounded or in the company of such people... because yes, although we feel like deeply individual beings, what happens in our environment matters and influences.

Besides... Who we surround ourselves with feeds part of who we are. Sometimes it exacerbates the best and at other times the worst. So the results of what happens in our life should help us to reflect on our environment.

And be careful, the people we have around us because like any human can have ups and downs. He won't always be succeeding, and neither will any of us. But without a doubt, there are trends in our environments: people who are always looking to improve, grow and emerge, or others who live submerged in chaos or in the luck of fate, of the latter, by the way, we have to flee, because of the excess of toxicity they have.

There is something that only appears when life really puts us on the edge, a clarity about what matters and what doesn't, that in the normal day to day almost no one allows themselves to have...No book gives that, no podcast gives it, it's the borderline. And although that sounds harsh, it gives us a very valuable information about oneself.

When we hit rock bottom it's because we already know what we need to change, what we want to build, the conversation we have pending, and the decision we've been putting off.

I just know that we must be careful with our environment, so as not to continue in the daze of everyday life waiting for the perfect moment to start... and no, that moment doesn't come alone, to mature is to understand that it comes when we decide that it's enough of putting off our own life.

With this reflection I close this publication: They say over there that it is better to be like him.

Peter of the story that even screwing up in the worst way, he repented, not like Judas who was left with the anguish and hanged himself. And this, in the end, is the only decision that matters, that of taking care of what we owe to our own life today. But, learning to choose our environment well, and knowing how to cut with it when it does not benefit us seems key to me. What do you guys think?

At least, my mom takes care of what surrounds her, she has perspective, background and real shapes, without distortions.....very well! For her and for us her family.
