Be selfish with who you're friends with
Transcript
I'm gonna say this as many times as it takes for you to understand. You need to be selfish with who you choose to be friends with. I don't care if they've been your friends since childhood. If they are not building you, making you better, and giving you a better life or amplifying the life that you're trying to build, then you need to cut them off. Because in reality, in this situation, you're growing up. You're an adult. You need to figure it out. It's time to have fun, but at the same time, it's time to build. While having fun, and you gotta figure out who you gotta do that with.
