Not Everyone Will Understand When you start changing your life, some people won't get it. They're used to the older version of you - the one who stayed small to keep everyone comfortable. So when you take a different path, when you stop tolerating what drains you, when you grow past the limits they settled for... of course it feels strange to them. But their confusion isn't your problem. Your job is to keep moving toward what feels true, even if you're the first in your circle to do it Growth looks like disloyalty to the people who aren't growing. Keep going anyway.
