What if everyone gets upset with me when I stop giving way?

"'What if everyone gets upset with me?' Well, they might. Your change disrupts the system they're comfortable with."

From my book The Choice Is Always Yours.

The people around you got used to a certain version of you, the one who gives way. Their upset only tells you that they're uncomfortable. It tells you nothing about whether you're actually wrong.

Most people have a pattern like this running and don't know it's there. If you want to find yours, do the Atlas. It names the pattern running your life in a single sitting. It's free at codexofthearchitect.com

This is one transmission. The Atlas takes your own pattern and shows you the structure underneath it, free.
