You become your environment

You inherit and become who you surround yourself with; your circle is your conditioning. We're all walking mosaics of the moments we're exposed to.

You inevitably inherit and become who you surround yourself with. Your circle is your conditioning.

We're all walking mosaics—mosaics of experiences, of moments—and they form how we think and what we do. Think of the world in Brave New World, people conditioned from birth, born into the 'right' religion and never once choosing it. It isn't so different for any of us.

Which means the real choice you have is the room you stand in. Pick the people carefully. You will become them.
