If you are training to become a fitness model but hang out with people that drink beer and spend their leisure time on the couch, it will be near impossible for you to stay motivated and work on your goal. But if you hang out with those that are working on similar goals or have already achieved them, you will feel wind at your back and move faster yourself. The same thing applies if you are working on getting or staying in shape – hang out with others that will understand and support you.
