Anyone who wants to keep you in the left lane because they see your fastlane potential knows they’ll be left behind once you switch it up.

The longer you act on the beliefs that you deserve a better life because of your healing,  the harder those who do not share your beliefs will come for you.

They will do and say anything to keep you close and in control. They’ll demand you “stay in your lane,” not only when you make them uncomfortable, but stop you from conspiring with your future self who has long since left them in the dust.

That’s your reoccurring cue that you are doing the right things, and better people and places will replace them.

Deep inside, they know that. Even if and when some will move on and act like your absence doesn’t affect them, some will remind you in their ways that it does.

That’s their fault and their fight for funbling you. They will hate you because you did the right thing for YOU, not for them.

So as you break the speed limit in your overall growth, remind yourself to slow down only when you need to, and not in hopes that they catch up to apologize and celebrate your wins.

You never needed them to gas you up. Besides, the chances of backhanded statements in them will be like water in gasoline, and we know how that treats actual vehicles. 

Don’t let them do that to you.

Race on.
