Gentle Shifts

For a long time, I believed that real change could only come from within. You can’t force someone to grow. It has to be their own decision. I still believe that. But something I watched recently made me pause and think differently about how we handle relationships when growth happens unevenly.

In life, we don’t grow at the same pace as the people around us. Sometimes, we start flying while someone else is still crawling. It could be a sibling, a friend, a partner, or even a colleague. And when that happens, it can feel like the connection is bound to break. But what if it doesn’t have to?

Maybe what it really takes is patience. The kind of patience that lets you hold space for someone even when they’re not changing at your pace. Not in a way that drains you, but in a way that acknowledges that change looks different for everyone.

It’s still your choice. Whether to stay? How long to wait? Should and where to draw your lines?

Maybe that same patience also helps us understand how our connections with people keep changing and how important that person is.

And over time, you might notice shifts in how you connect with people. Some relationships deepen while others remain light and simple. It doesn’t mean one is better than the other.

It just reflects the different people hold different spaces in your life at different times. What matters is staying honest about what feels aligned, and letting that guide how we show up in each bond with care with clarity and with grace.

Cheers
