Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• The people I’m around most all live the opposite of what I’m trying to become
• I keep trying to change by sheer willpower while spending all my time around people who pull me right back to my old normal
• I keep sliding back toward whatever the people around me do, and right now nobody in my circle does the thing I’m trying to build
• I’m about to join a whole new group of people who have no idea who I’ve been
• I’ve started noticing that some of the rooms and group chats I’m in pull me toward a version of myself I don’t respect, and I want to spend more of my time around the people who quietly bring out my better self.
