#051 Be Prepared To Lose Friends When You Grow

It's a truth that most people don't like to face.  As you grow you will definitely lose friends.  It might be for the good or it might be for the worst.  In my own experience, I can tell you both will happen.  The dynamic of your friendships will change.  That's ok.  Your real friends will be there and be patient with you to understand.  Your fake friends will vanish.  Win-win in my book.  I would advise you not to constantly throw your success in your less fortunate friends' face tho.  If you're not trying to help them be just as successful then it's best if you keep it to yourself.  Reach out to other people that can relate.  Create multiple circles of friends.  The worst thing is making your friends feel cheap.  Ask them questions.  Be patient with them.  Now if they're cool with where they are in life that's ok too.  You guys are just growing in different directions.  Both should be respected.  Giving up on family should never be an option tho.  Unless the relationship is too toxic to repair.
