You may have lots of friends in the audience of your life, but not everyone can sit in the front row. There are some friends that you need to move to the balcony, and some that you need to move out of the building altogether. You can still live them, though, but only from a distance.

You are going to have people that tell you that what you want in life can not be achieved only because they are envious that you are even trying when they may have given up. You will have people that tell you that you shouldn’t go for it, just because they care about you enough that they don’t want to see you fail. But at the end of the day it’s about what is real to you and what you want. Don’t let anyone live your life for you. Do what’s real to you. Last but not least, Never Sell Your Soul for a Dollar.
