The company you keep says more about your future than you might think. Your social circle influences your mindset, behaviors, and trajectory—often in ways you don’t immediately realize.

Cultivating compassion doesn’t happen by accident. It requires intentional effort, self-awareness, and the willingness to step outside our comfort zones.
