Issue #11 – Not Everyone Will Understand You
Opening Reflection
One of the hardest parts of growth is realizing that not everyone will support the person you’re becoming.
Some people only feel comfortable with the version of you that stayed small.
Ever heard that misery loves company?
This Week’s Insight
You cannot build your life around avoiding judgment.
If you do, you’ll spend more time managing other people’s opinions than building your own future.
Your joy should never depend on the opinions of others.
The Practice
Think about one area of your life where fear of judgment is holding you back.
Then ask yourself:
“Whose approval am I waiting for?”
Perspective
The people meant for your journey won’t require you to shrink yourself.
Closing Note
Not everyone has to understand your path for it to matter.
Keep moving anyway.
