Why Your Friends are Assholes

"Set yourself free by separating from those who hold you down."

So maybe you’re in a moment in life where you might want to do something great! You have a dream or idea, a passion that you want to make something out of and turn that hobby into a reality. Maybe you are just out of high school and want to move somewhere that allows you to freely or more accessibly accomplish your dreams. But you are afraid to lose your friends in the process or afraid you will disconnect from them forever. 

My answer to that is so what? 

If you are having this considerations it shows that you are mature enough to do what nature intended for us and that is conquer something, anything. Don't let the immaturity of others put your calling on hold or completely deter it. 

Life is not about planning a great life and having a great life just because you have done what society and your friends have told you do but is how you react to things life brings you. Opportunities are not given every day but they are given and your opportunity right now is doing what your calling is asking of you and not over thinking or over analyzing or under estimating your calling but just doing. 

Your friends are assholes if they want to hold you back for one more drink, one more party or maybe one more summer of fun. If your goal is to move away from your hometown or start a business right out of high school, go do it, you don't even need a business degree to do so, all you need is the will and ability to simply react to opportunities so you can build a business or move out of town.  I had to do this, I matured faster than my friends and some family members and the risk I took to follow my passions led me out of state and away from the parties and face time with friends that eventually led to me not having any friends to count on at home, not because they held grudges or because we are not friends anymore but because they took no risks, still haven't and so they remain dependent on others and only thinking about having fun. You too might have gone through this or are going through this right now and don't know how to react but trust me when I say that you will go far if you are strong enough to leave the security of social acceptance and go on alone to conquer your dreams. Set yourself free by separating from those who hold you down. People are selfish and in their immaturity will want you to put your life on hold. 

The value of a friendship is easily found if those around you support you and do anything to help you and be with you, otherwise the so called friendship is nothing more than one sided and will only hold you back and distract you from what's truly important to you. Unthink what is expected of you as friend or what you expect friendship is supposed to be and do your own think, friendship will reveal itself in ways you never expected and your passions will lead you to truly engaging individuals that will connect with you and support you because of the same passion in life. 

We don't choose our place of birth and our parents chose who our youth friends are by choosing the schools we go to, but is our mature selves that get to pick who we keep around and help build each other stronger.  Your friends are assholes if they are holding you back right this instant. #unthink & #dosomething
