Remove

Habits are overrated. Environment is king. So the best way to create sustainable change is to just remove, not force.

A man asked a gardener why his plants grow so beautifully. The gardener said: “I don’t force them to grow. I remove what stops them.”

That’s why just relocating is so powerful. You remove yourself from things that stop you from growing:

• People
• Culture
• Habits
• Narratives
• Beliefs
• Ways of speaking
• Social interaction
• Food
• Climate
• Places
• Spaces
• Costs
• Things

It might take more upfront effort and capital, but definitely high returns on investment. You can’t heal in the same toxic environment that made you sick in the first place.

So remove.
Not add.
Not update.

Just remove.
