“I finally have friends who genuinely want me to win.”
For a long time you mistook the ones who kept you small for your people. Now you've found the others — the ones who rise when you rise and mean it. That is building with. Don't let old wariness keep you guarded. Invest fully in the rare thing you found.
Your Practice
- Name the friends who actually want you to win. Say the difference out loud to yourself.
- Show up for one of their wins this week the way you'd want them to show up for yours.
- Drop the reflexive guard with them. People who lift you have earned your real self.
- Quietly loosen your grip on a tie that only stays comfortable when you stay small.
