The closer they are to you in terms of long-term alignment, the more likely those two versions of you will intersect. The reverse of that would be somebody who roots for you in front of you and most specifically behind your back. For me, it's a more helpful way to sift through who I want to keep in my life. If they're not more likely to help me hit my goal by being in my life, then for me, is the relationship more important than my goal? And that's a decision for you.
"People don't actually want the best for you. They want the version of you that best serves them." Today, Alex (@AlexHormozi) shares with us the challenges of pursuing one's dreams and goals while dealing with unsupportive friends. He shares his views on friendship and how it's important to surround oneself with people who believe in one's future self and that not all friends want the best for you.
