Have standards when it comes to your friends
You have to admit; not all friends are created alike because some people are just losers, okay? Nothing wrong with being a loser – it’s not on my part to judge. But! When it comes to my friends, I’m highly selective of people who I’m “friends” with. People who are ambitious, courageous, and have the desire to be all they can be are my friends.
Does it mean if you have to end all your friendships? Of course not. I have tons of acquaintances who I can go to the bar with, party and talk to or hang out on a Saturday evening. It’s for the social outlet. But they’re not really friends. Friends are those people who you can hang out longer and on a continual basis. They provide mutual support for you to grow as a person and reach that potential (Whatever is it. Perhaps eating 50 hot dogs in 30 minutes?), as oppose to the mediocre crowd who just meets the status quo.
Like I said, have friends who are supportive and have high standards. Loser people will only bring you down to their levels, because if you go any higher they’ll feel threaten. Staying at their level gives them the validation that’s okay to be mediocre (or they’ll say normal … such dorks)
