Be true to yourself above all else. If you are happy with who you are, and what you stand for. That is the only thing you have to worry about.
Everything else ultimately does not matter.
Take care of yourself the best you can, but never lower yourself to someone else's level, just because you think they are getting an easier ride than you.
Most of the time, they're not. Not in the long run.
That and you'll honestly be able to say you did the right things... To me that makes a lot of difference.
I've done a lot of things in my life I'm not proud of. I can recall most of them. They weigh me down. Most of that was when I was young and stupid. Now I do the best I can do for me, and I'm pretty happy with myself and my life.
Hope you make it though with yourself in tact.

Life is hard and if youre stupid its harder. Being negative, cheating, stealing, having no integrity, etc is stupid in the long run. It only hurts one thing, you and the people who live with you. Yet Ive been guilty of all those things and found out Im not so special. Maybe you are poolmaster. But not me. The only thing I can do is learn from my mistakes and try to put myself in the most beneficial situation that I can.
Ive found to be honest, charitable, have integrity, good sportsmanship benefits me and the people that love me. Why wouldnt I strive for it. Money comes and goes, fame does too. But happiness with yourself and the people you love is something that Im not willing to let go.
I look across the pool landscape of my life and think of all the money that was taken from me, still owed me, and all that Ive given back. And I can say I dont regret a thing. The few good friends that I have are worth much much more to me than that. I needed to go to the hospital recently and who was there but my friends from the pool hall. It made me realize that there is goodness if you allow it to nourish.
The thing is trust yourself. Be confident that the goodness you do will return to you someday. And if it doesnt well nobody said life is easy son. Life is hard but if youre stupid its harder.

You a lucky man. Having friends, what's that? My only friend is my wife, that's it.
