At a barbecue with one of my oldest friends and he says, “You’re different since you came back from London.”

My response: “Thank you for noticing.”

There are a lot of ways I could have taken it, but I am different and I am happy about it.

  • Less focused on money, more focused on fulfillment
  • Less judgmental, more empathic
  • Less guarded, more vulnerable

If someone told you you had changed, how would you respond?

    I think it would depend on whether I was trying to change. If I was making more positive decisions in my life I hope that I would see their comment as a complement.
