Sometimes, when we grow, there may be others in our lives that do not grow with us.  Sometimes, those people in our lives may actually be envious of our “flight to happiness” and attempt to bring us back down.

Although, we feel that everyone can grow to connect with their inner-selves, there may be some people who are not yet ready for that change.  In those cases, it may be necessary for you to “cut your ties” and move on, so that no-one is “weighting you down.”

If you look around, and reflect back  on your life, you may see some cases where maybe you were wanting to take a risk and you let others talk you out of it.  Or, maybe you followed your truth, and took the risk anyway.  Now may be a good time to look back on your life for scenarios like this that have taken place.

Do you feel that giving into the fears of others, or possibly standing your ground independent of those fears was the correct thing to do?  When we follow our “truth” we are always following the path for our life’s journey.  Were you following your truth in those scenarios?

When you feel that it is time to move forward in your life, be it in a new job, career, or relationship, you need to figure out if you are following your “truth.”  How does one know their truth, you might ask?  Well, it begins with that connection to our inner self.  It also is something that comes from a place of love.  It is something that comes from a place of “uniting.”  It is something that comes from your heart.

If your passion is to quit your job and change careers to cook food for others, so that you might bring them happiness, that may be your “inner truth,” speaking to you.  If you feel you need to quit your job to avoid some of your co-workers, that might be more of your ego speaking to you.  However, if you are working with people who are “bringing you down” as we spoke about above, you may need to cut your ties so that you can “fly.”  It is a fine line that is sometimes difficult to interpret.

When you follow your heart, coming from a place of love, you are listening to your inner self.  When you are choosing to help yourself, rather than to “save another” you may be coming from a place of inner truth.  We are not put into this lifetime to enable others from doing their own work.  Each of us must take responsibility for our lives.

We are not saying that you should sever relationships out of convenience.  No, what we are saying is that when you find yourself in a relationship that puts you in a position that inhibits rather than encourages, growth, it may be time to move on.

When we do a task for another that she or he may do themselves, we are either providing a gift of love, or are inhibiting them from supporting themselves.  The answer to that question comes from your inner self.   However, remember that only you can take care of yourself!
