A tale of two Surfers - @ROGUEWEALTH and myself.

Pull up a chair, it& #39;s storytime...
If you& #39;ve been around these parts for some time, you& #39;ll remember the course creator hate from last summer.

Our space was plagued with negativity, jealousy, and bad vibes.
Heavy attacks were leveled against some of us, stuff like:

- You& #39;re a fraud, you& #39;re gonna get exposed
- You don& #39;t know shit about ecom, all your money comes from your course
- We have fragile egos so we attack people doing better than us

And more of the same...
It& #39;s important to understand that no one stays neutral in a conflict.

Those that do are forced to pick a side, usually because the other side attacks their neutrality.

Regardless - the negative energy tends to polarize people who would otherwise be friends.
The worst part?

This negativity is often the result of a third party who is very hurt and damaged.

Rogue and I used to converse from time to time but at some point last summer, we got into it on a Millstoic tweet.
Negative energy/Bad vibes/Petty remarks

Cuz what? Nothing really, someone elses negativity filtered our perception & we took it out on each other.

From last summer to now, we didn& #39;t interact.
A few homies told me Rogue a was great person to learn from but I chose to stay petty.
Last week - Rogue chose to be the bigger man and reached out suggesting we move past whatever caused the divide. I agreed.
The result?

- I& #39;ve already felt the positive effects of his actions and gratitude for his kindness.
- Mutual friends have expressed joy and gratitude.
- We& #39;ve introduced each other to new music and had some great conversations in the DMs
Months of animosity gone in a few short days.
Net positive for both of us.

And its been less than a week. Imagine what the rest of the year holds...

We connected over Synthwave.
Became homies.
And grew as individuals.
A few lessons from all this;

- Environment has a huge impact on you, choose it wisely
- Be aware others& #39; impact on your frame of reality
- All it takes is one person reaching out
- Music (& ones love for it) is powerful
- Never let your ego stifle your own progress
Feel free to add your own insights/takeaways from all this.

And lastly - be kind and cultivate good vibes. These are the only things that truly matter in this life.
