Wisdom Wednesday: Why 10L of Vodka Helps No-One

Wisdom Wednesday

This morning I was emailing a client of mine back who was congratulating me on my Fatherhood.

Here's a snippet of the email below.

I whole-heartedly appreciate but must deflect the praise to my wife, who is leading the charge with all of the motherly care, and breastmilk, she provides.

But his email, of providing an environment where his daughter can flourish, is where not only children's progress can be compromised but ours.

It's so basic to say but often wisdom can come in the simplest forms and todday it's coming in the from of a clients email.

Environment is everything.

Do you have 10L of Vodka in your cupboard? You're going to drink it.

Do your parents bicker and fight in front of you? You could fall into the same habits.

Do you have cakes, donuts and sweets smothering your kitchen? It will be harder for you to lose weight with all of that temptation staring at you in the eye before you go to bed.

Do you have a dog that needs walking daily? You'll go for a walk every day.

Once again, environment is everything.

Do your friends want to watch movies or go for walks?

Does your partner sleep early or late?

Does your family always complain about work or do they have an optimistic attitude  towards their work?

I must say it one more time, environment is everything.

Just like my client does his best to give his daughter the best home environment to excel in her exams, we must do the same for ourselves.

If we do not dictate our surroundings, sooner or later, our surroundings will dictate us.

So, let today be the day your environment changes and you begin to determine your outcomes, not your surroundings.
