Why Not All Friends Want the Best for You | Ep 535
The Game with Alex Hormozi
The Opposite of Friendship
One of the hardest aspects of pursuing dreams and goals is that many people in your life may not support you or the person you need to become to achieve those goals. People often want the version of you that serves them best, rather than wanting what is best for you. Friendship is not binary but rather a spectrum, with enemies being the opposite of friends. Enemies actively try to destroy your efforts, drain your resources, and distract you from your goals. On the other hand, true friends root for you, both in front of you and behind your back. They support your growth and success, even if it means they may be threatened by it. It is important to evaluate the people in your life based on whether they help you achieve your long-term goals or not. If they contribute to your success, they are worth keeping. Otherwise, you must decide if the relationship is more important than your goals.
