Your environment is either pushing you forward or pulling you back. It is never neutral.
The people around you. The conversations you are part of. The content you consume. The spaces you spend your time in. All of it is shaping you whether you are paying attention or not.
If you want to change, look at what surrounds you. Because you will eventually become the average of the environment you keep choosing. The question is whether you are choosing it intentionally.
Design your environment or your environment will design you.
