Life often has us feeling like we’re not enough—not doing enough, not achieving enough, not keeping up with everyone else. But what if the problem isn’t you at all? What if you’re simply in the wrong environment?

This revelation hit me while reading a children’s book to my eight-month-old son about sea creatures. I learned that turtles swim quickly in water yet move slowly on land. The metaphor struck me profoundly—imagine a turtle spending its entire life on land, constantly feeling inadequate because it couldn’t match others’ pace, never realizing it was simply in the wrong environment for its natural abilities.

Your environment shapes everything about your success and well-being. This includes your physical spaces, the people surrounding you, and even how you treat your own body. Creating environments that support your authentic self doesn’t require massive resources—just intentional choices about what energies you welcome into your life.
