I’d rather be alone.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was alone.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For a long time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s easy to fall into the trap.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The trap of thinking you have to continue to spend time around those who have been with you from the beginning.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I would love to.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The problem is not everyone is on the same course.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not everyone wants to grow.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not everyone sees it how you do.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So they’ll try to hold you down.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“Jokingly” make fun of you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You represent something they wish they could have.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Honesty a lot of the times they don’t mean to be harmful.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They probably aren’t even aware of it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You should be though.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Once I started removing myself from that situation I didn’t have a community of killers (yet) to hang around, so I chose to be by myself.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hung out with Tony Robbins, Grant Cardone, Les Brown, Gary V, etc.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Watched their videos, consumed their books, listened to their podcasts.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That slowly introduced the right people into my life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Life’s been a ride since then ?
