Dean Graziosi explains what happens when you grow but the people around you don't. They may try to pull you back to where you were, creating tension that feels like growing apart. The key is recognizing this dynamic and staying committed to your own development anyway.

Sometimes when we grow in a relationship, in a marriage, in a partnership, in a friendship— if you're listening to this, that means you're into your own personal growth. And sometimes when you grow and someone else wants to stay static, it feels like you're growing apart. You're not really growing apart. They're not growing in you. It's easier for them to reach up and try to pull you back down.
