What do you do when you outgrow someone?

Some human beings believe they live in a complicated and confusing world.  They struggle to maintain relationships and, wonder what they may be doing wrong when tension or trouble emerges in interactions. You may sense this yourself.  After all, how do you feel when you no longer relate to people you know? What does this say about your dreams?

When was the last time you felt like you had outgrown a phase of your life and the people who were in it? How did you deal with that?  During certain moments, confusion can turn to inner understanding.  Fear and discomfort or awkwardness melt away.  Every stage in your personal metamorphosis encourages you to choose the path of least resistance.

Rest assured.  You never lose your way. You are on a journey to master yourself in all situations.  You are touched by the realisation that each person you encounter is real and assisting you to realize how vital each life experience you have truly is.

Consider that each friend, family member or other person in your life draws your attention to facets of your inner self. You are being invited to acknowledge, change or release attachment to certain beliefs. Similarly, you are periodically invited to detach from relationships that no longer serve you.  You can love yourself and everyone, and move on to evolve into something simple and uncomplicated.  Share a piece of your story.

Liara,
Interesting topic. I think people outgrow each other all the time. Look at the divorce rate, it is evident of such fact. The tricky part is to continue to be civil to those you have outgrown and to give gratitude that you have evolved beyond the lessons they have taught you.

Alexys, what you say makes a lot of sense. People will contemplate moving away from a phase of the life they have known, and find themselves at a crossroads. At some stage, the opportunity for a job, to develop a business, a relationship, other pursuits, or a revelation about changes necessary for health and well-being, will resonate with you on some level. Your choices trigger new levels of self-awarenss and personal evolution.

Yes, an enduring topic indeed, having recent application in my life. In order to understand the lessons inherent in outgrowing someone, I had to hold too long to another. The Goddess teaches me my greatest, most pertinent lessons, by holding me to extremes in a situation to ensure I understand the dichotomies and the larger scheme. It's happened to me at work, in my friendships, and in other areas until finally, I understood the lesson and was able to move gracefully on. The lessons are always there, and dependent upon how long it takes us to understand them, they either repeat or are understood once and for all. I thank the Goddess every day for her patience.

Donna, every human being is on a meaningful learning curve. To evolve to realize each person does what is rigth for them at a given moment, you can also evolve to realize you always do what is right for you. It is as if you do nothing, yet leave nothing undone.
