Have you ever noticed that you started changing, and suddenly some friendships didn't feel the same anymore?
There was no fight and nobody betrayed anybody.
You just started thinking differently.
Your priorities changed, your ambitions changed, you started taking your faith, finances, career, health and future more seriously and sometimes, that creates distance.
But here's what we often fail to realise:
Not every relationship you outgrow is filled with bad people and sometimes people simply grow in different directions.
At the same time, we have to be careful with the word "outgrow." Because sometimes what we call growth is actually pride.
You can become more ambitious and still remain humble.
You can become more disciplined without becoming judgmental.
You can become more spiritually serious without becoming less gracious.
You don't have to make everyone understand who you are becoming and you don't necessarily need to replace everyone because your priorities have changed.
Some people will travel far and long with you, some will remain in your life but occupy a different place and other relationships will naturally fade.
And that's okay.
The real question may not be:
"Have I outgrown them?"
It may be:
"Am I actually growing, or am I simply becoming someone who thinks I am better than them?"
Swipe through the carousel and tell me what you think.
Can you grow without becoming contemptuous of people who are growing differently?
