When you celebrate other people's failures … or tell them it’s okay to achieve less than what they’re capable of…
You may think you're helping them feel better…
You may think you're being a good friend...
But you're not.
You're really making them feel good for being less than what they could be…
...and you think you're doing something noble for them?
What you’re really doing … is rewarding mediocrity.
This is why most people walk around as a shell of themselves with 0 confidence...
0 pride...
0 self-esteem...
...and 0 belief in who they are and what they’re capable of…
Because there’s nobody in their life that has the courage to tell them the truth.
Quit pacifying people and celebrating their shortcomings.
Demand more from them.
Push them to get better.
They might not like you today…
But in the end, they’ll love you when they’re doing things they never imagined were possible.
