What friction revealed about me

I note that my relationship with others
is basis for most of the expansion that I achieve.

In that moment
when they helped me
understand what I didn't want,
I became acutely aware of what I did want

Thankful for every contrast

Some language references from Abraham Hicks

This illustration explores how difficult relationships become unexpected teachers.

When someone's behavior rubs you the wrong way, it's actually revealing something—your boundaries, your values, the edges where you're still growing.

That moment of friction? That's clarity arriving.

You suddenly know exactly what you don't want, which means you now know what you do want.

Today, find gratitude for:
A difficult person who taught you boundaries
A setback that revealed your strength
A fear that pushed you to grow
A loss that showed you what matters
