When you start pursuing your dreams and goals, one of the most crucial steps is getting out of the “people pile”—the group of average, comfortable individuals who may unknowingly hold you back. This “pile” consists of people who are content with mediocrity, and who, deep down, may want you to stay in that space with them. It’s not because they wish you harm, but because they haven’t had the courage to break out of their own comfort zones, and seeing you take bold steps can stir up feelings of jealousy or insecurity in them.

The truth is, most people don’t challenge themselves to go after their dreams because it’s uncomfortable, uncertain, and risky. And when they see someone else trying to do the same, their natural instinct is often to pull that person back into the safety of the known, where failure feels less threatening. They might offer advice meant to “protect” you, discourage you with stories of setbacks, or subtly try to convince you to stay where it’s safe.

However, to truly break free and achieve your goals, you need to distance yourself from the mindset of the average crowd. Surround yourself with people who inspire you—those who have the courage to chase their own dreams. Your ambition and vision for your life are unique, and they require you to push past the limits of others’ expectations. Don’t let fear or the pressure to conform keep you from stepping into the life you deserve. Trust your journey and take action, even if it means leaving the people pile behind.
