When you start a personal growth journey your energy changes. The very essence of who you are becomes different. Many friends and even family are no longer an energetic match for you and they may resist and even dislike who you’re becoming. Healing and personal growth can be a challenging and uncomfortable process, both for you and for those around you. This often leads to the loss of people you care about.

Ending a relationship can be one of life’s greatest challenges. We all have a few people in our lives that we allow to treat us in a manner less than we deserve. Intellectually we know that if we don’t change something, the result will be the same. But once that music starts, we jump right into the same old dance.

If we are to thrive and find peace, we must accept a situation, let it go, surrender, and move on. And while this may be difficult decision, it will be the most self-loving.

Anyone who puts him/herself “out there” knows the direct words of condemnation that tell you exactly why you will never succeed at what you are attempting to do.
