Collective Mental Capacity

Why? We as humans tend to aim lower than what we deserve. In all areas of our lives. Have you ever asked yourself why? Most of the time its because we are not confident in ourselves, whether we know it or its subconscious or we just flat out deny it. We say to ourselves 'It's alright, I deserve this.' But we are straight up wrong. This especially refers to our friendships. We deserve too be treated right, and not be dragged down by friends who are jealous, or envious. And I definitely agree, it sounds harsh, but if we are too rise to our full potential, we don't need negativity in our lives. You could try to talk it out of course, but if the problem persists you need to know when to walk away. It's not a matter of friends and kindness. It's a matter of self-respect. We forget to respect ourselves. And we need to understand that if we want to be successful people, we will inevitably be forced to make some of our toughest decisions on our way to success. But through these experiences we will learn so much, and we will know which mistakes not to make. This quote by an unknown author perfectly sums this up; 'Why do you surround yourself with people whose collective mental capacity reaches maybe your knees?' This is one of my favorite quotes, and I hope you guys take this into consideration. Don't take less than what you deserve because you all are beautiful people and you can do what you dream of with the right amount of determination, motivation, and sacrifice! Good Luck!
