A very strict rule I have is to only associate with people who genuinely want the best for me.

I do not care if the person is a family member or long time friend.

The second it becomes clear to me that they genuinely do not want me to succeed I cut them out.

No exceptions.

I recommend adopting the rule.

It will be lonely in the beginning, but eventually you surround yourself with the right people and life becomes so fucking beautiful you can’t even imagine.
