I want to read more of your blog as I have time. I am in a real funk and my mind seems to be clouded in fear so that seeing or finding my passion is difficult. Life things also get in the way of finding time to reflect. I believed so much that I had a purpose in life but since selling my company last October and taking a job I didn't like but needed for income and now am miserable I can't see my way out. I've always been able to climb over the wall that was in front of me. Today, the wall is either too high or I don't have the energy, desire, passion to climb over. I am stuck. Hopefully I can gain some perspective or direction from reading your blog or words of inspiration from you can help. Thank you for finding your passion and sharing with others to make lives better. steve I found your site this morning from another blog, quoting you. I want to read more of your blog as I have time.

I’ve always been able to climb over the wall that was in front of me. Today, the wall is either too high or I don’t have the energy, desire, passion to climb over. I am stuck.

Hopefully I can gain some perspective or direction from reading your blog or words of inspiration from you can help. Thank you for finding your passion and sharing with others to make lives better.

It struck me from reading your post that guilt qualifies as a negative influence... wears us down and prevents us from moving toward what we want because we feel so bad about ourselves. What limitations have you noticed are most common with the people you interact with? What limitations have you had to work through? and where are you personally on the "living your purpose" scale? I am so curious! Evelyn, I went to your site and noticed your post on guilt.

I totally agree that negative influences and expectations can wear us down and stop us from pursuing our dreams. It is very important to be aware of these limitations that we have placed on ourselves. I like it what you said that "Your blissful happiness can only be found in living your purpose." Nice one there!

It's not malicious, it is their own fears of living own potential that motivates this behavior. If we want to step into our next highest expression, we need to be courageous enough to listen to our own internal wisdom, not the fears of others. Thanks, I would love to write a book. Know any publishers you can turn me on to? Corinne,

This really spoke to me - "Maybe you share your dreams and instead of getting the extra excitement and support you hoped for, you discover you’ve entered a war zone. All your dreams get shot down by people who think they are helping you." People try to shoot you down not out of malice - but because of their own fear for you. They don't want you to fail. Thanks for your always sage advice. Dear CK -

People try to shoot you down not out of malice – but because of their own fear for you. They don’t want you to fail.

Thanks for your always sage advice.

What if we started each day fresh? I wonder how life would be different if we didn't drag the baggage around. I am sure you talk about this with your clients. Can you share more of your insights on this? Tom, It’s like we collect evidence and then go around proving ourselves right. What if we started each day fresh?

That's how I always look at it. CK, your methods above do a great job of getting us out of the cycle of always looking at the future while projecting the past on to it. Over and over, around and around we go. I can so easily get caught in it myself. The future is insidious. Thanks for a delightful post! Expectation = future = fear. That’s how I always look at it.
