You can do it.

How many times have you been told that? I can't count the number of times I've been told how smart I am. I surround myself with people who think I'm one of the smartest people they've ever known.

It's odd, because I'm utterly average. But I somehow find myself associating with quality people - and veering away from losers and lowlifes. Quality people make you feel special. They have enough confidence in themselves to be able to compliment others.

If the important people in your life are telling you you don't have what it takes, you are associating with the wrong people. Make friends who recognize your qualities, and avoid those who point out your weaknesses.

I can't take all the credit for all the financially sound decisions I've made. I have to acknowledge contributions important people in my life have made, by consistently pointing out what I can do.
