We stress what our Friends will think.
We stress over what our spouse will think.
We stress what the neighbors will think.
Yet the truth is they aren't thinking of us. They are busy with their own problems and concerns. Why waste your energy worrying about what they will think?
We worry how people will react if you continue on your life and they do their own thing. We worry that they will resent us for bettering ourselves. If they do have harsh feelings because we moved up several levels in life and they are still in the same place, whose fault is that?
Hint:
It's not your fault. You can't take someone somewhere they are not willing to travel. So wish them well and move on. You will find new higher quality friends in their place.
