It’s so true that following your own path often means making tough decisions, even at the risk of hurting those you care about.

But I think you’re spot on about the resentment that can build up if you hold yourself back for others, there's a fine line between compromise and sacrificing your own growth.

It’s a tricky balance, and reading this reminds me that choosing yourself sometimes feels selfish but is often necessary to stay true to your own journey.

There's no easy answer. As some once said, "Life is all about tradeoffs"....

Thanks for sharing!
