Seek similarly driven people

One of the most underrated support mechanisms in any growth journey is surrounding yourself around similarly driven people.

If you’re an aspiring musician, it’s surrounding yourself around other aspiring musicians.

If you’re wanting to become a world-class engineer, it’s surrounding yourself around other disciplined engineers.

Connections where there is significant overlap in core values are mutually reinforcing.

Their drive will feed into your drive, and yours into theirs. You will learn from their lessons, and they will learn from yours.

There’s also a nice baked-in element of accountability, because action or the lack of it becomes abundantly clear when you invariably discuss your shared goals.

Seek similarly driven people.
