Growth Comes With Subtraction!!
Hello family ✨ Happy Monday. Hope you all had a rested and rejuvenating weekend and feeling fresh and ready for the week ahead. Here's something to sit with as you start your week. Something that you will have noticed as you proceed on your journey of personal development and levelling up... Have you ever noticed you had the most friends when you were the worst version of yourself? The uncomfortable truth is that your worst self attracts the most people. When you have no standards, everyone wants to be around you. When you have no boundaries, suddenly you're popular. When you're broken, lost, and making bad choices, your social circle is huge. Why? Because your worst self makes others comfortable with their worst self. You're not challenging anyone to be better. You're not holding up a mirror they don't want to look into. You're confirming that their low standards are normal. The moment you start improving, all of a sudden things change. You become unpopular. Friends and family start to leave. Sly remarks. Weird energy that wasn't there before. This is just how it goes. This is not because you've become boring. But because your growth highlights their stagnation. Your progress makes them uncomfortable with their lack of it. This occurrence starts to reveal to you that quantity doesn't equal quality. Your worst self collected people. Your better self reveals friends. And sometimes you're left with none. But this is okay. And it shouldn't discourage you. This should better highlight your growth and inspire you to keep going. This also reflects in relationships, work, business... most aspects of your life. Growth usually comes with subtraction and releasing. A little like the process of when a caterpillar turns into a butterfly. Look... You are made for greatness. And the more you uncover your potential, the less this will affect you. The more you keep pushing, the more you start to attract the people that are meant for you. The people that support, add, and accelerate your growth.
