When setting a goal or pursuing a dream, you may notice certain family and friends suddenly disappear. Its as if a UFO picked them up and whisked them off to another planet. And some don't vanish completely, but they will make it obvious that they are distancing themselves from you. Others may develop a sense of jealousy towards you and even find sport in making their jealousy obvious.
But why would family and friends do this? What does this mean or say about you?
In short, it means nothing about you but it says a lot about them. You are upsetting them because you decided to follow your dream. You did something they can't or won't do for themselves.
Maybe they aren't ready for change, or they don't know how to go about change. Who knows? But the people who are truly happy for you will be the same people who are truly happy in their day to day lives. They don't begrudge someone following a dream because they are too busy pursuing their own dreams. They don't display that awkward passive-aggressive jealousy, because they are too busy pursuing their own dreams. They don't lash out with petty, hurtful comments because they are too busy pursuing their own dreams.
In short, they don't have time for negativity and they do everything possible to avoid it. Once you discover their secret and begin applying it to yourself, it will become easier for YOU to pursue your dreams too!
So if you have a goal or dream, go after it!!! Don't wait another day, week, month or year. Don't make another excuse, don't look back. Go after it now. Come up with a plan and begin your journey. Just understand that your dreams won't make everyone happy.
And if your dream upsets someone SO MUCH that they feel the need to part ways with you, let them go. They will only weigh you down and distract you from your dream. Now is the time for you to stay on course and to journey forward with the positive people. Sometimes its a matter of saving yourself and that's not being selfish, its being smart!
