it is frustrating how many friendships are ruined due to jealousy once you find a tiny bit of success
Discussion
yeh man, it’s a tough one.
Too many people compare their own success to others. Having successful friends who push you to achieve should be celebrated, not feared.
Friends who leave friends over success are the definition of lame
You know this, I’m sure, but I’ll reiterate: real ones lift you up, and they are as happy as you to see you fly.
Keep on crushing it. 🫱🏻🫲🏼

"Rejoice with those who rejoice" is a good practice.
Were they friends to begin with?
🫂
It happens, even keeping low profile on purpose.
I've ruined friendships long before that would ever happen.
Is that so?
Yes or compromised. It’s hard to recover. I think be present, loving, interested is key. Persistently there and engaged. That massively helps.
🎯
Here's a tip: You do find out who your friends are when you lose everything.
Might not have been that solid of a friendship.
Updates are hard sometimes.
You’re attracting the right crowd with your strong 💪 signal 📡.
Can’t thank you 🙏 enough for all the wisdom you’ve put into the podcast space.
Just told @martybent how I’m time traveling 🧳 and the 🐇 🕳️ recap is one of the 🥇 shows I listen to.
Currently in early 2018 and racing to get to present day.
PV 🤙 and thanks for always reminding me of the stay humble and stack sats path.
This is why giving wine as gifts has been such a life hack. My success is your fun night
Wine is fine 🍷
Thankfully real friends get over that hump.
Means they were never friends.
And never supportive in first place
Beware of the friends that want to see you doing well, but never better than them...
Lol I’ll let you know when I find that tiny bit of success LOL
start with successful friends
Friendship is being happy for your friends successes!
😕
Sorry to hear. I’m proud of you even though we only ever met once at BitBlockBoom.
Sad to hear. They weren’t friends to start with.
If I ever find a tiny bit of success, we’ll compare notes.
You'll find success, keep on keepin on.

(Never were friends)
Im happy AF wen anyone that hustles is stackin dubs
🤝
It’s a super frustrating human pattern. I wonder why that developed, seems like a counterproductive trait in society.
Hits me in the feels.
Been there….

People dont want you to succeed, they want to drag you down to theyre level. If you succeed it just highlights theyre inadequacies
"Wow you are so lucky"
May you have much much success
Maybe they’re not real friendships
Who are you jealous of? 🤣
There's a lot of talk about your post.

They weren't friends.
I can count my true friends on one hand
most ‘friends’ are simply passing through..both parties move along eventually
And it's not even significant success, just a tiny bit will do.
Sadly, we are all prone to envy. I thinks it’s part of our fallen nature. But there is freedom in self-forgetfulness enabled by a love of God and others.
Those are not real friendships in the first place.
those were day one haters playa
Not very good friends if they don't celebrate each other's successes
This isn’t a bug. It’s a feature of success. Allows you to see clearly who your friends truly are. Be careful out there.
Commandment 10 (Exodus 20:17) Thou shalt not envy 👌
"You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor's."

A bit of a primadona post from you Odell. Friendship only really holds up when incentives are aligned. What were you expecting? For something deeper than that you need family. (And even then...)
In Odell's defense I think he is a very humble man at heart, who has forayed into a social life with heavy ladder climbing culture. It's hard to not let it seep into you a bit.
I have suffered from this myself though, with friends and sadly even family from "prior lives". Life moves so fast in some ways...
Anyways, Your point about aligned incentives (even with family) resonated with my experience and gave me clarity that was still a bit fuzzy on. So, thank you!
This makes me sad bro. You deserve every bit of success you get. Don’t let ANYONE tell you different.
Still waiting for my turn for success
My now ex wife was jealous of my success even though she gained from it more than I did.
Those aren’t friendships
That’s why you need to keep a small circle and with like minded people that have their own thing going on
Seen it all before. Envy is a shame. You would hope they could be happy for you.
Then they never were real friends of yours.
Luckily, I haven't found that mythical success you speak off.
success helps you see who your friends are.
The Stay humble part
Keep going Matt, your content is amazing.
human nature
Yep
These are no friends at all...
Go on
