Everything

Your environment sets the bar for how much you measure up against others. If your environment consists of lazy, unintelligent, reactive, nihilistic people, that is who you will have as a point of reference against how well you measure up, which can lead to complacency because having mediocre and toxic people around you doesn't provide a good blueprint of how much you can achieve in life. You could be the smartest people in a room of unintelligent people, and be below average in a room full of intellectuals. Being around the mediocre breeds mediocrity.

If you truly want to advance in life you need to change your surroundings and only associate yourself with people who show mastery in whatever quality, title, or trait you wish to embody. Only by seeing others doing better than yourself can your eyes be opened to the possibilities of this world, and if you are an intuitive learner, you can take this to your advantage to learn from and emulate the success of those who have achieved more in life.

Don't Entertain Drama.

If you have the ability to leave the room, end the conversation or avoid the gossip go ahead and do that.

It's not worth ruining your vibe, spending your energy and damaging your reputation to trash talk others or getting involved in situations that don't bring you any benefit.

Don't forget to drink water and mind your business. The drama is not worth your peace. Let it go.

“Negativity is totally unnatural. It is a psychic pollutant, and there is a deep link between the poisoning and destruction of nature and the vast negativity that has accumulated in the collective human psyche. No other life-form on the planet knows negativity, only humans, just as no other life-form violates and poisons the Earth that sustains it. Have you ever seen an unhappy flower or a stressed oak tree? Have you come across a depressed dolphin, a frog that has a problem with self-esteem, a cat that cannot relax, or a bird that carries hatred and resentment? The only animals that may occasionally experience something akin to negativity or show signs of neurotic behavior are those that live in close contact with humans and so link into the human mind and its insanity.”

— Eckhart Tolle

Life is life–whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat or a man. The idea of difference is a human conception for man’s own advantage.
