Here’s a fact: You become the average of the five people you spend the most time with. Your mindset, your habits, even your success—all shaped by your circle.

Emily, a self-taught coder in NYC, learned this the hard way. She was the only one in her friend group who lived for coding. The only one who thought in lines of code instead of social events. And the digs? They were constant.

"Come on, just skip your weird coding stuff and come out for once."
"Not everything is 1s and 0s, you know."

At first, she laughed it off. But then, she heard a quote that changed everything:

🚀 "If you want to fast-track your growth, change the people in your inner circle."

Emily didn’t cut people off overnight. But she made space for those who aligned with her future. A game developer. A software engineer. And suddenly? She wasn’t defending her passion—she was thriving in it.

🚨 So here’s your challenge: Look at your inner circle. Are they pushing you forward or holding you back? If you want to grow, surround yourself with people who make you better.
