In Episode 3265 of The Strong Life Project, Shaun O’Gorman dives into the importance of surrounding yourself with people who challenge you to grow. If you’re always the smartest, strongest, or most driven person in the room, you’re in the wrong room. Growth happens when you’re pushed beyond your comfort zone by people who expect more from you.
“If everything seems under control, you’re not going fast enough.” The same applies to life—if you’re not uncomfortable, you’re not growing. The people you spend time with should inspire, challenge, and hold you accountable. Whether it’s business, fitness, relationships, or personal development, leveling up requires being around those who demand more from themselves and, in turn, from you.
If you’re serious about success, ditch the energy-drainers and surround yourself with high-performance individuals who force you to step up. Because it’s all about perspective—and when you realise I’m not where I used to be, you’ll see how much stronger you’ve become.
