In context of when you can't seem to find success or find belief in yourself, the people who both know who you are and still believe in your success (whatever that success may be-financial, spiritual, relational...) - these are the people we call our best friends.
I wonder what it looks like when you do become successful, and many people believe in you simply because you are already successful. But that process of believing in a person is different - seeing the success, then believing rather than understanding the individual in times of struggle than believing.
It's be hard to differentiate between the two amidst success, and the only people that you can be sure are your non-fairweather friends are the ones who you knew before your success.
On the other hand, having someone who knows you well and doesn't believe in you can be one of the most debilitating and destructive things to a person.
