A short motivational monologue (YouTube Shorts) by Jacqueline Elliott advising listeners that pursuing their dreams often requires leaving behind people who aren't growing — friends who party, use substances, or drift without goals — and accepting that this will upset or anger others. The speaker emphasizes that growth may mean starting over, losing social ties, and cutting ‘leashes’ to unproductive relationships.

Chapters

When we went and we went to chase our dreams, we had to say goodbye to a lot of different people in our life. You're going to tell your friends, you're going to tell all these people that are probably out there doing drugs, drinking or probably just going and hanging out and not doing anything with their life. You're going to have to tell them goodbye. You're going to have to tell them that you're going to have to start over and you're going to piss a lot of people off and they're all going to be making fun of you and they're going to tell you, hey, why are you so dumb? Why are you doing this? How come you're not cool? Oh, you're too cool now to hang out with us? No, those people aren't growing. You're looking at them and they're the same exact people they were last year and the year before. And you who can't be around those same people.
