Sometimes it seems easy to stay optimistic and focused on the future and the path I want to take, and at other times there's a crash, where I wonder what the heck I was thinking and can I really do this.<br /><br />It's hard when you don't have any support. That's when you realize that you need to go out there and build your own support system -- find others who think the way you do and are who are also travelling their own paths of personal growth. If you can find even one person who can confirm that you are not, in fact, crazy for wanting something better for yourself, that sometimes makes all the difference.Nathaliehttp://www.vibeshifting.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-478024514640293628.post-77363573780038217672014-05-01T10:11:39.955-04:002014-05-01T10:11:39.955-04:00Kimberly, that is exactly it about growth and owni...Kimberly, that is exactly it about growth and owning it! I am so glad that we met. I am proud of you for sharing your story in Listen to Your Mother- it always brings tears to my eyes.

This is not the direction in life that I had intended to go, but it is something that I am making the best of and in that, my friends are dwindling. Perhaps it's my diagnosis because holy crap I am so scary....<br />The ones that love us the most should be respectful and supportive of our endeavours. We would do it for them in a heartbeat. <br />It's hard to think this way, but being happy, rather being content and striving to get there, is ours to own and to be proud of. If people want to join in, they are more than welcome. But we cannot hinder our growth because of sucky people.<br />Thank you for writing this. I've only known you for a squeak in time, but I am proud of you. xoKimberlyhttp://makemommygosomethingsomething.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-478024514640293628.post-57337576165799346692014-04-23T16:45:34.204-04:002014-04-23T16:45:34.204-04:00You are right - growth is hard.

I get that, but sometimes I am more ok with it than other times.angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14974137283220034062noreply@blogger.com
