The right people don't fix your life for you, but they change the odds, they raise your standards, call your bullshit, and make quitting feel unacceptable. Swap the ones who whisper excuses for the few who push, challenge, and actually celebrate the hard work. Yes, it hurts to cut ties, and okay, some relationships feel safe, but comfort without growth is a slow choke. Choose people who model discipline, who demand better from themselves and from you, who make consistency look normal. Surrounding yourself with that energy turns small wins into momentum, makes accountability feel natural, and quietly rewires what you think is possible. Your life will mirror the circle you keep.
