The Crabs In Your Bucket

Julie Murphy • March 3, 2010

As you begin to listen to your Inner Wealth and take steps to follow your heart’s desires, something may begin to change in your relationships with others. You may find that the people you’ve been the closest to in your life have suddenly began to pull away. There’s a good chance you may no longer share the same emotional or physical bonds that were once so similar. This is quite common among recovering alcoholics or drug addicts. Those who make sweeping changes in personal behavior also undergo interpersonal shifts. Simply put, the people who enable you in your current financial reality may not be your best pals once you choose to change. Please don’t allow yourself to become disheartened by this. I promise you, any friend or family member whose approval or affection you may lose as a result of following your life’s purpose will be replaced tenfold — if not in number, in quality.
