There's scientific evidence that the people you surround yourself with determine your success. If you surround yourself with great people that are supportive, big goals, driven, kind, knowledgeable, zero surprise if you're fucking successful. If you accept people just because what, you grew up with them, you sat next to them in grade 7 math class, but you know every time you talk to them, hang out with them, they make you feel worse about yourself. Fuck, bro, I can't fix stupid. Everybody here is encouraged, supportive, have big dreams, have big vision. You grab any person and drop them in the center of that team, they elevate. You grab that same person and you put them next to 5 fucking complainers, critical cynics, all of a sudden, just show me your friends, I'll show you your future.
