People at the earlier stages of development usually want things to stay the same. So they don’t want people to change, as change feels risky because it can shake the sense of who they are and where they belong.
People in the middle stages start to see new possibilities and often want to help others change and thrive too…but usually in the direction they think is best.
People at the latter stages stop trying to fix or convince others. They paradoxically just focus on growing and being real themselves, knowing that kind of honesty naturally encourages others to grow too.
“Knowing” this is easy. Embodying it is epically challenging.
