I’ve often felt as if some distance would be a healthy thing for my relationship with my family.

I seem to be the only one who thinks, feels and understands the way I do.  They make me feel the most awkward and uncomfortable when it’s in their company I should feel the most myself.  They are my toughest “social circle” in which to function. My energy is drained when I leave their presence and can only take them in doses.

But, what I’ve learned is that when I’m busy being focused on what I truly want for my life, I don’t have much time or energy for anything negative – including their judgments.  When I’m dialed in to positives, the negatives always take a back seat or fall off with little to no effort of mine.

I’d encourage you to set about the journey of fulfilling your life.  Use your energy wisely and for good.  Either, they’ll evolve with you or they’ll find themselves uncomfortable in your grand light.  But, you should definitely stay focused on your light!
