The Lonely Edge: Outpacing the Pack

It gets lonely when you rise. Rise anyway.

When you push your limits and those around you stay still, the air gets thin. Conversations shift. Invitations fade. You may wonder, Is it worth it? Yes. Because mediocrity is not your destination.

This isn’t loneliness—it’s leadership. Not everyone will join you. But your courage might inspire someone to rise too.

Battle Plan:

• Find new communities that reflect your current ambitions.
• Let go of needing validation from those who don’t walk your path.
• Create rather than complain—build the tribe you seek.
