How to upgrade yourself effortlessly and subconsciously?

They say we are a combination, or at least heavily influenced by four or five people with whom we spend the most time.

I believe this to be true to a large extent when I look back on my life. In retrospect, I can see how each group of people I hung out with influenced me and contributed to where I am in life today.

I changed these groups several times, not intentionally, but as a result of natural development and the evolution of my hobbies. To a certain degree, it's within everyone's power to choose the people they surround themselves with and engage with.

One neat trick I discovered is to engage in longer (preferably solo) travel for extended periods (a month or longer).

Why solo? Because it encourages more intense interactions and communication with people.

Why a month or longer? For the same reason.

I realized that through my travels, I met numerous people. Some I spent a few days with, and others only a few hours, but they left a strong impression on me.

I observed certain qualities in them that inspire me and sometimes help guide me.

In short, think about the people you interact with most of the time. Also go travel. Try to actively think about what makes people you are surrounded with interesting or where the good vibes are radiating from.

What communities influenced you the most throughout your life?

For me that is for sure #bitcoin, my colleagues and last but not least #Stargate fandom...
