It could be said that a person’s behaviour is inseparable from their environment. This is true in many ways. If we take the example of a work environment, behaviour that is permissible due to Managers letting it happen or colleagues wanting to fit in with our peers is a slippery slope. This is how things go wrong in companies, and in Government, the culture of the company is its downfall or its catalyst for progress.
Likewise, if we surround ourselves with people who support us and challenge is constructively, we will take chances and strive to thrive. If we are surrounded by people who are attached to their status quo, then progress becomes difficult.
If society becomes restrictive, as it is in many parts of the world, or it advocates for freedom, we behave in response. Where possible, we need to surround ourselves with people who we can rely on to help us reach our goals and treat us with compassion and encouragement.
