I think it's a problem how complacent us young people are with ourselves nowadays. Now, really understand me when I say that. It's great to know yourself and be happy with who you are, that's exactly how it should be. But because we're young, we have so much more learning to do. Learning is a process that never has to stop and never should stop because you'll never know everything. And if you feel you know enough, share your knowledge with others. Don't be selfish.
Everyone has a number of different reasons why they think they're fine the way they are. You can't learn anything from the younger people around you, you don't see eye to eye with the older people in your life, you're fine the way you are because it's worked for you for so long...whatever it may be, it's an excuse. If you know there's more for you to learn or just another way to learn things, figure out how by using any and every resource you have. Sometimes you may not even have the people in your life that are going to bring something different to the table and that unfortunately makes some of us think it's okay to continue on with our poor actions and thoughts. But when someone actually does come into your life..friend, boyfriend, girlfriend, cousin..and they challenge what you do and the way you think for the better, it's wise you keep them around. Those are usually the people with your best interests in mind. Now I don't mean challenge as in just go against everything you stand for, I mean do they make you see things in a different perspective? Do they make you wonder if you could do things in a better way? Do they just add something different and more positive than you've known before? Keep these people around! And treat them like you actually appreciate what they have to offer!
It's like some people get those people in their life and they take advantage of them, use them, let them go. Those are positive people who make a good impact on your life, do what you have to to make sure they stay because chances are you'll ALWAYS be able to learn from them, not just this period of time. If anyone doesn't make the cut, it should be those who are okay with you not being your best. Don't get complacent just because you're accepted for the way you are, strive to be a better you everyday.
