“You're either going to be choosing the people that are in your life and that's going to hold you back, or you're going to choose to get rid of those people and deal with the other side of that equation—which is you're going to get closer to where you want to be, but you're not going to have those people anymore. And to me, it doesn't matter if that's your brother, your cousin, or your best friend of 30 years. If they're on a path that you don't want to be on, and they keep taking your time, energy, effort, focus, a piece of your brain every single day—if they're sucking you into drama, if they're holding you down—at some point, you have to learn that lesson where it's like, "Okay, I'm gonna let you go." And it's not because I'm better than you.” – Cole
