Dreaming big is only half the equation. The other half is who you let sit at your table. Your environment shapes your ambition more than your willpower ever will. Spend time with people who normalize small thinking, and you'll unconsciously shrink your own goals to match theirs. Spend time with people who push, question, and build — and you'll find yourself doing the same without even trying. This isn't about cutting people off. It's about being intentional. Who do you talk to when an idea excites you? Do they stretch it further, or talk you out of it? Who do you call when things get hard? Do they remind you why you started, or hand you a reason to quit? You can have the clearest vision in the world. But if your surroundings keep pulling you back to average, that vision stays a thought, not a reality. Choose your rooms carefully.
