Cut people and situations that drain your time and energy without giving anything back. Focus instead on building with people who actually want to succeed. Parasites feed on you; remove them and redirect that effort toward real partnerships.

Okay guys, get rid of the parasites. Just, if you got a tick on you, you don't leave it there to infest. If you got a mosquito sucking your blood, you swat it off. You don't leave it there. Why? They're a nuisance. They're not giving you anything, they're just taking. And they will, they will constantly take. There's no benefit. You can sit and wait as long as you want with that parasite on you, it is not gonna help. Same thing should be true for your time, your energy, your effort. If there are things or people in your life that just show up to take and take and take and take and take, cut it off. Cut it off. Get rid of it. Remove it. Please, please. You've got so much to accomplish. You've got so much to give to those that want to help build alongside. Use that. Get rid of the parasite.
