Every person who chooses to leave your life, romantically or as a friend, is basically shorting your stock. They’re betting that your value will go down without them. Let them.

Your job isn’t to convince them they’re wrong. Your job is to keep building. Make more money. Get stronger. Become sharper. Build better relationships. Create a life so valuable that their decision to leave becomes irrelevant.

You don’t need everyone who walked away to come back. You just need to make sure that when they look back, they realize they underestimated the stock.
