"Environment is stronger than will power."
—Guru Paramahansa Yogananda
The environments we live in—all nine of them—either inspire us or expire us. They facilitate our success or they detract from it. They energize us or they drain us. They relax us or they stress us out. The good news is that we have a lot of control over our environment.
For example, we can de-clutter our offices, create better filing systems, paint the walls, redecorate our rooms, clean out our garages, join health clubs, hire personal trainers, buy treadmills or free weights, join yoga classes, join mastermind groups, move to new areas, take walks in the park, schedule more time with friends, stop hanging out with negative people, hire coaches, hire financial planners, join investment clubs, feng shui our homes or subscribe to magazines that raise our spirits. It is true that our environments exert a lot of control over our feelings and behaviors, but it is also true that we have the power to create environments that positively impact us.
