In the first 25 years of my life, I was more focused on the negative sides of life.
But in the last 2-3 years, I have changed the people I spend time with. And it had enormous effect on me.
I don't look everything with more positivity, but with more realism.
It's not like everything happens for a good reason, but whatever happens, with time, I will handle it. Now, let's focus on the solution!
Whenever I meet my old friends, people I used to work with, distant family members, they are more or less same. Still stuck in the same phase of life.
Whereras I have moved from being focused on how to seek more pleasure, to more meaning to let's just figure it out on the way😅
People around us definitely affect our behavior and mindset. It's good that we have access to internet and we all can choose our friends, our communities, our tribes🙂
Best way to affect change, is to change the surroundings. I think you and I have talked about consumer mindsets before, where people surround themselves with adverts, and then wonder why they can't save more money.
Do you think they see you as the same too, and believe they have grown?
For better or worse! :D
Could be possible. I was always less talkative, being lost in myself, and being in my own world. I have changed in the way I think. And it's not something people can easily observe.
So, it's possible that people think I am still the same, and they have grown😅
I assume people think I am the same I have always been. Not quite :)
