Growth creates distance between what you tolerate and what you deserve.

CREATIVITY

WHAT THIS MEANS

As you develop, the gap widens between what you have been putting up with and what you now recognise as reasonable. That gap is uncomfortable, because for a while you can see the problem clearly and are still inside it. This is a normal and temporary stage rather than a sign that growth has made you difficult. Awareness always arrives before the situation catches up.

When you notice you are tolerating something you no longer think is acceptable, name it specifically. Then change one thing rather than everything at once. Closing the gap gradually is more workable than trying to resolve it in a single conversation.
