"Man's growth is held back by his surrender to other people's
expectation that he remain the person he was when they met him."
Mokokoma Mokonoana
Everyone is supportive of change unless it involves them personally. They encourage others to make new decisions just as long as it does not interfere with their schedule. We support others in need for change, but we abhor any inconvenience to our relationship. So how does that work?
It is compelling to listen inside when others announce advancement. We react with joy while inside imagining how this is going to impact our own lives. I met a woman in New Orleans who had become an accomplished artist since relocating from her forever home. She shared that family and friends were always supportive as long as she stayed just the same. By moving states away from her family and friends, she created a new life where she could fully be herself.
As our life purpose unfolds and we sense a more profound message to bring into the world. We must be willing to trust and life will either begin to support fresh ideas or direct us back a different way. One must at least consider the God given insight at least in our creative mind's eye rather than standing still hiding from change.
