‘Why would someone who loves you try to slow down your progress?’

‘It’s simply that your advancement can sometimes bring up other people’s fears.’

And do not forget that people like to stay where they are comfortable. In other words, people don’t like change.

According to Fabienne Fredrickson, ‘You’ll always be a moving target for criticism and disapproval when you decide to play a bigger game and try to do things that others aren’t willing to do, even when it’s better for your life or for life as a whole. People don’t like change, and they don’t like it when you try to change. Whether you want to get healthier, grow personally, or do something that will make you more successful, when you reach for something bigger and better, it will invariably make some people uncomfortable.’

Everybody Is Different

When you measure yourself against a false ideal, you can never be truly happy because there will always be an insatiable gap that cannot be filled. The more you try to fill it in vain, the more disappointed and depressed you will be, and the more it will affect your self-esteem.

Instead, appreciate what you do like about yourself, and focus your attention there.’- Fabienne Fredrickson
