Internal Wounding Attracts Internal Wounding

Growth occurs when we challenge ourselves to live out of the norm and into a different life. Not everyone in our lives is going to want to grow with us.

Yes, this can be incredibly sad and painful. Others feel we are dishonouring them, you feel guilty you “are leaving loved ones behind”, and the cycle of despair continues…

We can’t make everyone happy, and we can’t force others to do what we want. We must choose to live in authentic alignment with grace, confederation and unapologetic kindness. We can only inspire and we inspire by leading by stepping into our truth.

Don’t be angry or resentful at others for not walking your path. Some are riddled with fear of the unknown, change and difference. What is not understood can be interpreted as dangerous and therefore people are apprehensive to try something new.

They see you “outgrowing” them and they feel even worse. They associate that with you not being attracted to them anymore. Because when you met you weren’t that person who liked what you like to know. They take it personally. They then push you away and dig in their heels, often blaming the very activity and new people you may be spending time with.

Be patient, compassionate, communicative, not forceful and honour your values and needs. You’re doing no one any good by minimizing yourself. You may have to make some tough decisions. Work out your non-negotiables and go from there.

One is glad to be of service.
