If you surround yourself with the good and righteous, they can only raise you up. If you surround yourself with the others, they will drag you down into the doldrums of mediocrity, and they will keep you there, but only as long as you permit it.

About This Quote

The power of our surroundings is something we can never underestimate. If we surround ourselves with positive and righteous people, they will only raise us up and build us in a way where we can better ourselves and reach our full potential. If we surround ourselves with others who are less capable, they will drag us down into mediocrity and keep us there, but only as long as we allow them to.
