Environment matters more than people sometimes realize. Spend enough time around people who talk about what they are creating instead of only what they are tolerating, and the way a person thinks about their own life begins to shift. They see someone change careers, start over, build something from nothing, leave what no longer fits, or take a chance on an idea they cannot stop thinking about, and suddenly those choices stop feeling reserved for other people.
That is the power of being around people who are actively participating in their own lives. They make possibility feel less theoretical. They remind others that a life does not have to remain the same simply because it has looked that way for a long time.
Sometimes believing something is possible begins with seeing someone close enough prove that it is.
