• Every person with whom you interact is a part of the person you are becoming.
  Not a single interaction with a single person is left out of the process of your becoming. Many assume that only pleasing relationships have value, but that is not the case.

And so, even those uncomfortable interactions with others form the Vibrational basis of your expansion.
