Our Environments’ Influence on Our Lives

We’re influenced by our environment whether we’re conscious of it or not. Our living space, neighborhood, city, region, state, country, geography—and everything else—affect our minds, which lead us to the opinions, perspectives, and decisions in our lives. If we’re not aware of our environment, we will be a standard product of it. But if we heighten our mind’s ability, through stillness, observation, and reflection, we can transcend our environments.
