🚨 Do a Hard Audit on Your Circle
Not everyone around you wants you to win. Some people are comfortable as long as you don’t outgrow them.
If someone in your life:
- Mocks your goals
- Makes growth feel “cringe” or unnecessary
- Pulls you back into bad habits
- Drains your energy
- Gets weird when you level up
They’re not neutral. They’re a liability.
Watch the subtle stuff:
- “Relax bro” when you’re disciplined
- Jokes that chip away at you
- Guilt when you choose training, work, or rest
- Constant drama, no accountability
That’s not friendship — that’s friction.
Ask yourself:
- Who makes me sharper?
- Who makes me weaker?
- Who do I become after being around them?
- If nothing changed for 5 years, where would I end up?
The truth:
Outgrowing people isn’t betrayal. Letting people hold you back is self-sabotage.
Distance isn’t rude. It's self-respect.
Bottom line:
Your circle either builds you or breaks you. Choose accordingly.
