My mom used to remind me how I behave like my father most time even though I was very close to my dad when I was growing up but I was young when he died. I learned many things from him directly and indirectly. I still listen to all his favorite songs and also double-check the gates and make sure they are locked before going to bed. I learned all of these because I was close to him and that is one of the easiest ways for anybody to develop a habit. Most people imitate the habits of people that they are very with and they don't need to be family, we imitate the habits of our friends too and people we spend time with.
The kind of people we keep close to reflect on our lives. They have a way of influencing us. It’s a kind of pressure on our habits. I know pressure is not good but we have positive pressure too, and this happened to me when I joined the gym. I wasn’t feeling it at first until I started working out with a group of people. They began to push me, they talked to me a lot about how I need protein to build muscle. Instead of doing one set and rest, I began to do three to four sets. The pressure was there because now I have a Group that I look up to. This happens to everybody when we join a group or a community and sometimes when we are born in a culture.
It is easy this way.
Most people don’t question the culture. We just grew up doing things that we believe it is right according to our culture. We have cultures around the world that eat a certain food, they have certain beliefs. The main reason why it is easy for everybody to practice is because they grow up with people who are practicing it. Also, it is easier to learn, or practice when you are with people with common goals. People we are surrounded with and people that are close to us always have pressure on our habits, We learn directly and indirectly from them. It is easier to create a habit when you have people who are trying to do the same around you.
If you want to create a habit, it is easier when you are surrounded by people that have the same habits. These people would be a good influence on the habit you’re trying to create, When you join a group or a community that has a common goal, it makes you work differently because they will have a positive impact on your habits. In our present words, It is easy for you to get more crypto news when you join the crypto community, it is easy to stay motivated when you are surrounded by people who are doing what you want to achieve every day. It is the easiest way to change your mindset and also increase your input effort into a certain field.
Check who you are close with
It is very important to check those people you are close with to know the kind of impact they are having on your habit whether it is good or bad, if you want to remain motivated concerning your habit The best way to do it is to join a group, a community, or a culture. This way we constantly meet people who have the same visual as you and we have a positive impact on your habit.
Thanks for your time.

Awesome post, my friend. You are very right about what you said. The people around us really do shape our habits and sometimes the way we relate. We should always ensure we surround ourselves with those who drive us to be a better version of ourselves.
People around us have a way of shaping our thinking and influencing us in a lot of ways. I used to say that if there is no smoker in a community, there won't be a way for another to emulate such a habit. Habits are easily transferable. It is awesome that you learned from your dad when he was still alive. I'm sure the lesson will stick with you forever.
Positive peer pressure, especially in our teenage years can be a good way to build a strong foundation towards our adult years. Nowadays, consuming content from individuals you look up to or aspire to become can also help when we don't have the right positive peer pressure around us, physically.
