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.
