For me the greatest challenge of being on a spiritual path is clearing out the people, places and things that prevent me from moving forward. I'm sure you know what I mean...the well-meaning friend who says they support my path, yet their actions aren't consistent with those words. Or the people I continue to lean on knowing full well it's not in my highest good to do so.
Today I'm questioning some of those relationships and taking accountability for my role in allowing them to continue. I'm cleaning house and it sure feels good! Of course not everyone is excited about this shift...some people, unconsciously of course, would prefer I stay stuck right where I am. Not that they want to limit my spiritual growth, but when I start rocking the boat it will most likely bring up some of their own stuff. And that's uncomfortable.
It just shows how incredibly intertwined we really are. How far-reaching an impact our choices and words have. While I may be setting things free today...I'm going to do so gently, consciously and with a tremendous amount of compassion. For myself and those I'm letting go.
