Surround yourself with supportive people from "summary" of Be a Free Range Human by Marianne Cantwell
When you start to think about making a change in your life, it's natural to worry about how other people will react. This is especially true if you're considering a non-traditional path, like starting your own business or traveling long-term. You might worry that your friends and family will be unsupportive or even try to talk you out of it. And if they do, it can be really disheartening. That's why it's so important to surround yourself with supportive people.
Supportive people are the ones who believe in you, even when you're not sure if you believe in yourself. They're the ones who cheer you on when you have a success, and pick you up when you have a setback. They're the ones who understand your dreams and goals, and who are there to help you achieve them.
But supportive people aren't just there to boost your confidence or offer a listening ear. They can also provide practical help and advice. They might have skills or knowledge that you don't, or connections that could open doors for you. They might be able to offer feedback on your ideas, or help you work through a problem. In short, they can be invaluable allies on your journey to a more fulfilling life.
Of course, not everyone in your life will be supportive of your plans. Some people might not understand why you want to do things differently, or might be afraid of change themselves. And that's okay. You don't have to cut these people out of your life completely. But you might need to limit the time you spend with them, or be careful about how much you share with them. Instead, focus on building relationships with people who share your values and goals, and who genuinely want to see you succeed.
Surrounding yourself with supportive people isn't just about having cheerleaders in your corner. It's about creating a community of like-minded individuals who can help you grow and thrive. So if you're thinking about making a change in your life, start by reaching out to those who can support you on your journey. You'll be amazed at how much of a difference it can make.
