We are in a very accelerated time of change. I have learned to go with the flow. Some people that I thought would be here on the path with me have fallen away and new people are arriving all the time. My choices are different these days. I feel different about myself and know more about who I am and why I am here. My friendships go deeper because I am no longer deflecting people from my life. They come and go as they choose without me holding on to them.
I used to feel more of the harshness of friendships falling away because I was in more of a needy place back then. Now when I outgrow a friendship I see the situation from a different place without attachment. I always like to leave the door open though for new beginnings. I know that this is very important to do. Sometimes when we think that we have out grown a friendship this just means we need time away to grow in a different way so that when we meet again we have a fresh start with more to offer each other.
I had one experience with a friend that made me see why we outgrow friendships and relationships much more quickly than in the past. I listened to her speak about leadership. She had taken classes from someone and learned to dance a certain way.
Her reference point came from someone else telling her she was good enough to lead a group performing a dance in front of an audience. She had said that what she was doing was something that really suited her personality. I realized that I was no longer looking to others to show me how to do things their way. I had opened up more of a relationship with my soul and started getting more of the guidance about direction for my life from within me.
I became aware of the different ways that we lead in this world. There are those who run around to the latest workshop and learn how to do a system that someone has created. They get certified in order to teach the system. There are many artists I have met in the past that have had lots of training from a particular artist. People can tell by the style who their teacher was. This is because they are repeating the information that has come through someone else's personality.
The person that leads from the soul level instead of personality is going direct to the universal source of creation energy in the world. This is a different vibration that goes out to the world. Since we have people that are doing this at a more rapid rate for every area of their lives some friendships are falling away like flies.
We land in different places that are aligned with where we can best be in service to fulfill our Soul's purpose.
The key for the times is to let go and be in the moment as the past is falling away and the future is yet to be revealed. Let love lead the way. There are many surprises in store...
