What kinds of places do you gravitate towards? What is that special something that pulls you in and keeps you coming back? Is it the drinks or maybe the food? One thing that does it for me is the overall feel of a place. The way the wait staff and bar tender great and speak with you and the environment that that sets up is really what people keep coming back for. Specials are great and that helps get people in the door but its not necessarily the thing that makes a regular customer. Regulars are the life of any establishment. It gives the personality and helps reinforce the type of environment people see. The same very much goes with the people you keep close to you. You’re setting up a certain type of atmosphere and expectation of who you are by the people you choose to surround you. It’s been said a hundred different ways but the truth of the matter is that you start to emulate the people closest to you in different ways and collectively become an identity in and of itself. What do you think your friend group says about you? Have you cultivated and facilitated the right type of environment for you to grow or are you constantly allowing toxic people to poison you slowly. I want people to know what kind of environment they are buying into when they hang out with me and love it. What about you? Can you construct a part of yourself out of the collective influences of the people closest to you or are the exception to it all?
