Environment is everything. It shapes your habits, defines your limits, and sets the standard for what you consider “enough.” If mediocrity is acceptable, you’ll sink into it. But put yourself where only excellence survives, and watch what happens.
The Greeks said it best: “A captain only shows during a storm.” Calm waters don’t demand greatness. Storms do. Seek the environments that challenge you, stretch you, and force you to rise. Move to the places where you flourish, not comfortably, but maximally. That’s where transformation lives.
