Revealing the Cost of Becoming Yourself in The New Year

1. Being alone.

2. Get use to the loss of people who are uncomfortable with your growth.
   People like you to stay in the position they have assigned you in their own mind. This is laughable, but sad, because many people comply just to stay in good graces.
   True friends like to see you grow. These other people are not your real friends.
   People want you to stay where they placed you in their mind.

3. You will not get a response.
   Don’t take it personally. Most people’s egos will not allow them to give a decent compliment about your growth. So What.

4. 
   People want you to stay in the place they have assigned you. Again this is why you get no response. when you hear the uncomfortability with you come out of their mouths believe it.
   Your growth makes some people angry.
   
   

5. When you permit yourself to be honest about what you like and what you don’t like, you will repel fake people from around you. They thought they had you figured out. Surprise!!!

6. Silence from your peer group.
   Some people don’t want to see you grow. So what.
   I’m growing into the So What phase of my life, and I am smiling and laughing at myself.
   It took awhile to get here, and I’m staying.

7. Embrace silence.
   Silence becomes a weapon, a sanctuary, and a teacher.
   You can hear yourself.
   The real you.

As you grow in life, you will gain people and you will lose people. It is part of the journey.
Real friends return, and some fade away.
This is what happens in the journey of becoming yourself.
