Proximity, as in nearness or closeness to a person or place can be an extremely powerful tool. We have talked many times about environments before;creating them for ourselves, the ones we grew up with and the ones that are created around us. In this instance, we will discuss not only the benefits of surrounding ourselves with people that are looking to challenge us but also closeness to ideas, beliefs and values that are challenging us as well.
In contrast to other episodes where we have discussed balance, today we will look at immersing ourselves in a lifestyle of proximity. Surrounding ourselves with the people, hobbies and values of others that we admire will change the way we live.
Finally we will focus on discovering more about ourselves to find out who the people and passions that we wish to immerse ourselves in. A period of discovery is necessary for us to taste many different things, so ultimately we can find out exactly what it is that we want knowing full well there will be failure along the way.
