I think we've finished the five questions, right?

I have one other thing that I want to share here, which is not related to these two, but I have to say it because it's so powerful and simple.

What we found is when people go on the journey of growth, any journey of growth, like people who have gone through the Big Trust framework and seen those transformative impacts in their lives, they get comments from those around them like, what is the most common comment someone would say if someone's been on this journey of growth?

There's two words.

Any ideas?

Any journey of growth.

It can be on any journey of personal development, growth.

And what would they say to describe that journey?

Well, what other people say to them is usually, you've changed.

And when they say you've changed, it's generally not coming from a positive, supportive place.

It's coming from a place of, I don't like how you're outshining me right now.

You're no longer in this mold that I have for you.

And it's making me uncomfortable.

Never allow someone else's discomfort to prevent you from going on your journey.

Those who are meant to be with you on the journey will join you on the journey.

And this is really hard when it's family or loved ones or close friends.

The best response in that moment, rather than allowing it to undermine your sense of self-trust and doubt your choices, is two words, actually three words.

Thanks for noticing.

Thanks for noticing.

Growth has been a priority for me.
