My physical therapist had me doing stuff like this for months. I laughed at first. Then I struggled. Then I got cleared to stop going to therapy and have no back pain like before.
And not everyone is willing to wade through the waters they once admired from the shore. So don’t shrink. Don’t dilute yourself to fit their comfort. Let those who can swim, swim. And those who can’t? Let them watch.
Admire your strength until it reminds them of their weakness.
Some ppl love the idea of you, the version that inspires, entertains, or makes them feel good. But the truth is, isn’t always comfortable. It requires presence, reflection, & effort.
Ppl will admire your depth until it’s time to swim in it. They’ll praise your wisdom until it holds them accountable… love your light until it exposes their shadows.They’ll crave your energy until they realise it’s not free
