I don't know if anyone else is going through this but in Eckart Tolle's audio awakening to your true purpose he describes this as making space in your life. After you find your purpose and commit some relationships will disolve and others will deepen, you may quit your job or open a business, etc etc. Well I've lost all of my friends. I have none of them. I barely leave the house because their is nowhere of interest for me to go. I barely have human interaction except with my mother because I still live with her but we're on totally different planes. She smokes and drinks and I cannot wait to move out. But the point is I have nothing going for me in my life except I know my purpose and I know my passion and I'm sort of worried that nothing is going to come of this. I know Tolle just says it's making space for the new and improved, but how do I really know? I feel as if I'm deluding myself. I wouldn't want my old frirends back anyways since they are drug addicts, but I have not had any friends for a couple years, and for the past 7 months I've immersed myself intensely into personal development with hopes and dreams to become a writer/blogger/speaker/entrepreneur in the field of personal development, but as of the present moment I have little to show for that except around 150 books. I know of the law of attraction and have been applying it religiously since I saw the movie "The Secret" which was around 5 months ago and the only manifestations that I've had were my personal development books and I still need 200 of those to gain a competency in this field! Basically I'm sick and tired of my life it's been at a stand still it feels like for the past 2 years and I'm ready for it to pick up and am a little impatient and am just wondering if what Tolle says is really true that this is all just making space in my life for the new and improved.
