There is advice given and received to remind us that who we spend time with has a big impact on who we are and what we can achieve. In fact, "surround yourself" is a foundational strategy for personal and professional development. When we lean in hard to it, we curate the environment and the company we keep, which helps ensure that every element of our lives propels us toward our ultimate goal of peak performance and profound fulfillment. To surround ourselves is to build a foundation of inspiration, a sanctuary of sorts where motivation, positivity, and relentless pursuit of excellence are the ingredients of an inspired life. It's an acknowledgment that the people we choose to have by our side, the ideas we engage with, and the environments we inhabit profoundly affect our thoughts, actions, and, ultimately, our destinies. It's a winning strategy that champions the idea of being intentional with our choices. So, let’s choose the mentors who challenge us, the peers who uplift us, and a community that supports us.

Loving life when we surround ourselves
