Yes, you're right. I agree with you that many influencers often get fame without real achievement. Just like they are chasing empty celebrity status all over online.
I love the point that you made, acting like the person you want to be, in order to shape your personality. And when you surround yourself to people or content that makes you to grow and reveal the best part of you,
it makes you feel good.
The thing with surrounding ourselves with people who can help us grow, is that it is uncomfortable and takes effort, and is a reminder that we have to do more. Most people want to do less in life.
