You have to do it for you.

There are many things in life you have to do for yourself and not anyone else. Mostly this is because if you do it for someone else you are not really truly changing yourself you are just putting on an act for that other person which ends up being your persona. This can happen in relationships, major life decisions, career choices, lifestyles, choices about health, and many other significant events.

No one is worth you compromising yourself for them. Because in the end they need to like you for you. As much as it might suck sometimes having someone lose interest because you are not the person they want you to be. You owe it to yourself to not be who they want you to be, because that sort of decision can only end in tears and heartbreak. Not to mention possible psychological problems.

I was even reminded recently by a married woman how important it is to not lose sense of yourself when you two become one. Remember opposites attract and there is someone out there for everyone whether it be a best friend or spouse.

But as long as it is a positive change, go for it. You do get the priviledge of choosing your pathway in life and how you are going to approach it. Take advantage of the fact that we get to choose so much of our destiny.

Anytime you change significantly it has to be for you and make sure you are being true to yourself. Remember no one can change anyone else they have to want to change themselves.
