2015: Bought a used Toyota from CarMax, only 3 years old. Could barely afford it, but it was the nicest thing I'd ever owned. Drove it home to my wife and she almost cried. "Babe, we finally made it." Then someone keyed our car. When you win, people will try to tear you down.

The biggest culprits will be your own family and friends. For the most part, they do this because they don't want to see you get hurt, fall on your face, or end up ashamed. So they attempt to smother your hopes and dreams, to make you stay down.

Next will be your friends, the ones who aren't really friends but you spend a lot of time together because of proximity or because they get validation from you. "You've changed." "You only think about success now." They want you to stay miserable. Like them. Forever.

"You need a goal beyond esteem, fame, and approval. Because you will be spat on" is definitely going in my book of quotes. Jesus, that is so important.
