Like many of you above, I don't broadcast the fact that I aspire to vibrate at that higher frequency and challenge myself to live consciously, courageously and grow myself into something I am proud of. Much of the time, the subject simply doesn't come up. Occasionally when it does, I find that it would take too much time, effort and frankly, interest on their part, for me to fully and sufficiently explain what it is I'm doing, how it can be applied, and how it has changed my life for the better. I clearly remember what it's like to be on "the other side," telling my boyfriend that Tony Robbins is a silly git who doesn't have all the answers, so I try not to press. If they're not ready for it, I can't make them be ready for it, all I can do is attempt to lead by example. I've gotten the "positive thinking isn't going to help my situation" retorts and the "goals are a waste of time" malarky. I was there, I understand it, and from over here, I merely nod and smile and try to feel and show compassion for my friends who, sadly (to me), believe chugging along complacently is all they can look forward to.

But now I've got this incredible forum and am surrounded by amazing people following the same path. Maybe I'll begin to become more vocal about it in the future when I feel a tad more confident in my abilities to express myself.
