The ones who can see what’s possible

Someone further down the path than you will be able to see things for you that people next to you or behind you cannot. This doesn’t make them more valuable; it just gives them a different value. We still need our friends with whom we can walk shoulder to shoulder. 

Not only will people who have more experience and wisdom than you be able to see things for you that you cannot yet see for yourself, but they won’t be threatened by your growth, which the people next to you and behind you might be. It’s okay for the folks in your group to be a little stressed by your transformation, and you can have compassion for that without letting it stop you.

Value the people on your level and in your squad, and seek out and cultivate connections with those who can see from a higher vantage point. We all need both.
