The Truth About Unsupportive Friends
Summary
- I've experienced friends being unsupportive, making comments that suggest I think I'm better than them because I focus on my goals, like working out, instead of just relaxing.
- There's a time to relax, but when you're aiming to get your life on track, it's not that time; instead, you need to push harder in the opposite direction.
- Cutting out laziness and indulgence is essential during periods of significant change, and being a bit extreme in your discipline can be beneficial.

How To Take Action
A good way of doing things when you need to make big changes in your life, like starting a small business or setting personal goals, is to put lots of effort into your discipline. Here's what you can do:
-
Choose Your Friends Wisely: Some friends may not understand your drive. It's important to spend time with those who support your hard work and goals. If your friends make you feel bad for not hanging out because you're busy working on what matters to you, it might be time to meet new people who cheer you on.
-
Prioritize Goals Over Leisure: While relaxation is important, know when it's the right time for it. When you're working towards something big, focus more on what will help you succeed. Set your relaxation time after you've done your daily goals, not before.
-
Cut Out Unnecessary Extras: If you are doing things that don't help you grow, like watching too much TV or other indulgences, it's time to stop. Instead, use that time to work on your business or personal growth. For example, if you watch an hour of TV every night, try cutting that down to 30 minutes and use the other 30 minutes to learn something new for your business.
- Be a Bit Extreme with Discipline: Sometimes, you have to be tough on yourself to make changes. For a short time, it's okay to be extra strict. This could mean saying "no" to outings with friends or skipping that extra slice of cake. Remember, this isn't forever, just until you feel like you're on the right track.
Start little by little but stay strong on these points. You'll see how these small steps can lead to big results in the long run.
