You can shape your environment as much as it shapes you. Despite not having full control over your environment, the more aware you are, the more you can shape it.
You should strive to create the best environment possible for your growth. An environment that aligns with your goals, so that you can reach them faster.
But to create this environment you must first know what your goals are; your goals for your relationships, your health, your finances, and your happiness; find out what those are.
Once you know what your goals are, you then have to remove everything that doesn’t move you closer to them; ideally, only keeping what you love and need. Keeping only what you love and need will create an environment of the right things, the right activities, and the right people.
From here, you can then optimize your environment by delegating, automating, and systemizing as much as possible, to maximize your remaining time and resources.
Finally, if your environment continues to be challenging, you can always try imagining a different one. For example, in the past while I worked on projects and my environment sucked, I used to imagine myself working alongside top performers, as it motivated me to perform at my best, even if it was all in my head.
Time is limited, make the best with what you have.
”I must create a system, or be enslaved by another man's. ― William Blake
