Growth and change

Happy new year, people! It's so good to be able to share my thoughts on this edition of the Hive Learners writing prompts.

A lot of people go into the new year with different goals and targets for the new year, and these goals require certain levels of commitment and discipline in order for them to be achieved.

The understanding that not all relationships are meant to last forever gives one the courage to carry on when certain people suddenly leave us.

Going into the new year, I haven't thought of cutting people off just like that, but I have determined to grow in my capacity doing the things I do and opening myself up to new challenges.

In doing so, there are certain people I may no longer be available for to spend as much time with as we did before; many times, some of these people see such changes as pride and begin to distance themselves from you.

In some other cases, when some people in your circle of influence see the rate of your growth because they can't keep up, they get intimidated and leave because they are scared of who you're becoming.

Personally, in this new year, anyone that doesn't give me peace or tries to talk down the process of my personal growth and development is someone worth cutting off.

When growth happens, you naturally attract those who needed you to grow to the capacity of the value you offer, so you will definitely connect with new people and have a new network.

If a change in my current network will make my journey in the year smoother, then of course I will change my network because we are all striving towards a better life, and what better way than to do so with people of like passion who can make the journey easier?

On the other hand, a change of network might be challenging because the network you want to break into might just not be ready for you, or better still, they might just require you to prove yourself before they let you in, and this might take some time.

With the right mindset, I could build with my current network to ensure that we grow together to achieve our goals, but the condition for this to become a reality is that the people around you are ready to grow also.

A change of network would be good for me right now, but also I may not necessarily have to discard my old network because life can decide to smile on you through people you think are lower than you because such people might have a relationship with someone who you need later.

The protocol of exit can be a determination if you will be able to knock on doors and get a response, so caution needs to be applied in order not to send the wrong message.

Thanks for stopping by.
