The people around you are not neutral.
They are either pulling you forward or quietly making where you are feel acceptable.
Marcus Aurelius understood this. He wrote daily reminders to himself about who he was becoming, not because he was weak, but because he knew how easily the mind takes the shape of what surrounds it.
Look at the five people you spend the most time with.
Write down the standard each one holds themselves to.
That list is your ceiling.
