I remember before I relocated I was talking to a supposed “friend” about what my goal was. Immediately she started saying a whole bunch of negative stuff like telling me “im not going no where”. “It’s so selfish on my part to be trying to relocate”. “I’m taking my daughter away from her grandparents”. “If I can’t be content in one location I wont be content in any location because the problem was me”. I couldn’t get her comments out my head. Was I being selfish? Did I need to learn to be happy where I’m at? Will I not be content wherever I live? 😳 A while later I talked to a different person about what was bothering me. She informed me that the person who said that stuff to me been wanting to move for years but her husband doesn’t want to so that’s the only reason she’s still living there. I was shocked and angry! Shocked because why would she be so hard on me when she wants to move as well? Angry because I wasted sleepless nights thinking about all that crap she said to me and questioning my own intentions.
Whenever your trying to change, grow, start on a new journey or start on a new you…. Some of your biggest critics can and will be those closest to you. Friends, associates, family, co-workers, neighbors and etc. Amazing how some of the people closest to you are the very ones who don’t want you to excel or move on. It can be VERY disappointing not receiving the support you’d like but when starting on something new alot of times you have to start alone. Not everyone is going to understand your vision and not everyone wants you to be happy. In the end its only your voice that matters anyway. Ignore the noise of people opinions on what they feel you should be doing because no one can live your life but YOU! Push fear aside and see what your made of 😊 Dont be a victim of the “crabs in a bucket” mentality (people trying to hold you back so you can stay in the same “boat” as them. Break free from negative crabs and climb out that bucket!
