The environment we live in has great effect on who we are as people. It shapes us, molds us and eventually brings us closer or pushes us further from realising our dream lives. The people we communicate with on a daily basis, the lifestyle we have, the spaces we live and work in end up shaping us in certain ways. Knowing that it is rather important to consciously choose every aspect of you life and make sure it alligns with the long term vision of the life you want to have. There is a level above that, which allows you to surrender to the Universe and let her make the selection for you by the laws of vibration and equal attracts equal, but in the beginning it is important to train yourself to choose the things you want. That will also help you clearly define yourself and also at a later stage let the Universe know who you aim to be.
