How to get everything you want and increase your personal growth? Prioritise yourself!

I know, we all want a saviour. We want someone to just come and take us out of our misery, but that never really happens.

Your friends want what’s best for them

People that love you usually really want what’s best for them.

When people say that they love you, what they often mean is that they love the way you make them feel—the comfort, validation, or energy you bring into their lives. Your presence reinforces something important for them, so any change in you can feel like a threat to that balance. The moment you start to shift, grow, or prioritise your own needs, it can feel unsettling, because it naturally means less time, less attention, or less energy available for them.

That’s why, consciously or not, they may prefer you to remain the same—to keep showing up in the same ways, filling the same roles, and meeting the same expectations. They might never stop to consider whether your cup is full, or whether you are truly nourished by the exchange.

And to be honest, why would they question it? It has always been easier for people to accept what benefits them than to encourage change that disrupts the dynamic. Ultimately, holding yourself to the standard you know you deserve, and ensuring you are not running on empty, is your responsibility and no one else’s. It’s an act of self-respect to take ownership of that, even if it means disappointing those who would rather you didn’t change.

Prioritise yourself

No one wants victims, but everyone wants heroes.

But this is not about heroes and victims, this is you being yourself and treating others with kindness and support while holding to the standard of life you want to live. Love yourself first.

If you’re miserable, it’s nobody else’s fault . People in your life only reflect back your own self worth and self respect. You need to prioritise yourself to increase your personal growth

I know you’ve probably heard this a thousands times, but it’s still true.

Your outside world is a reflection of your inside world.
