my guess is that you'll attract
energies which will aid you on your path.
the people you come across may or may not be the same, but the energies
that come through them will be different than otherwise. you'll be behaving
differently, so the responses you get will be altered as you progress.
if you were to develop a greater excitement and enthusiasm, for example,
that could serve to boost the 'ambient energy' of your environment, and
other people might join in with that... almost as if it were contagious.
there are stable states of harmonic resonance, and if you want to make
lasting changes you'll need to go through an uncomfortable period until
you reach a higher octave (according to my thinking: just opinion).
