You cannot make this big change in your life and expect nothing around you to change, especially your relationships with other people. When you change who you’re being, you will upset people, you will lose friends, and maybe even cause rifts with family members, so your desire to grow into who you’re meant to be must be firmly placed in the very front of your mind at all times—as must the specifics of the life you’re creating for yourself and the feelings associated with it, so you have the courage to stay the course.
