📕 TCJ: The Litmus Test for Relationships

Issue #34

You will learn a lot about the relationships in your life when you decide to set higher standards for yourself.

  • When you decide to start waking up earlier to train.
  • When you choose to pass on the hangover for an NA drink or early night
  • When you can't discuss the latest Netflix series (but you'd love to discuss this great book you just finished)
  • When you invest your Saturday morning to volunteer at a local shelter or at a professional development conference

When you decide to make the important decision to improve you, you'll typically see two responses from those closest to you.

  1. Some join you.
  2. Others will (passive-aggressively) make fun of you.

Excellence makes people uncomfortable because when you make the decision to demand better of yourself, you force them to make the same decision internally.

And many will be hit with the truth that they're uncomfortable doing the same.

Your choice to be courageous puts them face-to-face with the reality they're still trapped by fear.

Their resentments may be said to you but are almost always more directed at themselves.

Don't let their critique of your growth cause you to avoid doing what's best for you.

Compete for your best life.
