I once heard a very simple statement that made perfect sense: “You have to leave yourself to become better than yourself.”

I think many of us would agree, and it’s the easy part to decide and move on from yourself. The hard part, getting everyone who knows then”old” you to support the new you.

Because even though the better you is a win for everyone, they KNOW the old you….how she acts and reacts. Changing means they have to change too.

[Tweet “When you change for the better others have to change.”]

So I have realized that I have to be willing to move on from relationships that don’t actively support my best self. That takes strength. Courage. And conviction.
