Self-improvement and then lost friends? This is a sign that it is starting to grow up.

Develop yourself and then "those around you disappear."

It hurts... but maybe it's a normal stage of growth.

Good friend = Friends who can't bear to see you behave.

Friend who wants to see you in the same place = friend who doesn't work

(Because he loves his own comfort more than your growth)

There must be some loneliness because you are changing the standard of life.

If you're walking alone today... doesn't mean you're wrong.

It could mean you're on the right track.

Follow if you want direct knowledge that makes you grow systematically.
