One “must” for this week
The parable of the sower by Sahil Bloom.
“Your environment creates your reality”.
It’s a story that serves as a reminder that the same seeds can yield very different results, and even the best seeds are no match for a poor environment.
Similarly, you can only flourish if you're “planted” in the proper ground.
It also reminded me of an idea from Naval Ravikant, who emphasises the importance of the city you choose to live in, the job you do, and the person with whom you have a relationship.
These decisions have a disproportionate impact on whether you can develop your full potential or not, and we often don’t pay enough attention to them.
