There is a time when we need to be surrounded by "character building" people. Those who challenge us, distress us, anger us, show us the bad behaviors so we can learn not to become that. We live and learn and experience then evolve. Little by little the old patterns die away. We become different people with different needs. Different perspectives. Different energy levels. The same people who helped us grow and learn may no longer serve the highest good. I think habit makes us hold on to the people, places and patterns that no longer serve us. Sentimentality and attachment makes it very difficult for a lot of us to move forward to where we need to be to "level up" again. When we are in our beginning stages of awareness and awaking it seems we have many "character building" people around and few "lift me higher" people. Over time as we awaken further we start to realize that our circle needs to change. We need to be surrounded by more "lift me ups" and fewer "character builders" who just get sprinkled in here and there for good measure. Keep us on our feet, help us to remember. Wishing us all an easy separation from attachment mentality. May we all be Blessed with beautiful forward motion that we travel with Grace and ease
