You are consciously trying to improve yourself and your life. As a result, you get pushback from people you're close to. On today’s episode, we talk about how those around you react to your growth. How many only learn to adjust, rather than change and how that can be okay. How you may be too available. How you must go where you're celebrated not tolerated. How some around you are jealous of the work you're doing and unwilling to do it themselves. How great spirits always get opposition from mediocre minds. How your happiness is always directly related to your peer group. How proximity can maintain some friendships. How this may be the episode to replay and share!
