I lost every friend that I grew up with except for one that's still one of my good buddies.

Everyone thought I was crazy.

Every single one of them, they're my best friends and everyone knowing what to answer my

calls, no one wanted to hang out with me.

I remember when I got back from traveling and I started writing my book, one of my buddies

that I'm, he's one of my best friends, he went to a fourth July party and he said at

the whole fourth July party was about how I'm crazy.

That's what everyone just talked about.

Twenty people just sitting around talking about why I'm crazy and how I change.

It's like you have to change and think about how much freedom it is to not be pulled back by other people.

Is it in this culture if you're successful on a regular basis?

Do people love you more?

No, they love you in the beginning and then they start to resent you, why they resent you?

Because when people succeed, the only way we know we're significant is by comparing to something else.

So what most people do is if they see someone else is succeeding more than they are,

they're saying, wow, what a great role model, isn't that cool, what can I learn?

How good for them, that's awesome.

Instead they go, probably stole from somebody.

Isn't that true?

In Australia, they have a term for it, but it's around the world, they call it the tall, poppy syndrome.

Right?

You get too tall, they come and cut your damn.
