A Message from Jonathon
Building your team for a happy life.

Most of us believe that it is dishonorable to abandon relationships and may maintain connections with a few for our entire lives. This is fine if the connections are productive or at least healthy. It is not fine if they are destructive.

I know a number of folks who hover just above a dark pool of utter despair simply because the people they keep around them seem committed to keeping them there.

So what separates them from the few that won’t let anyone keep them down and, where do you fall in this spectrum?

If you suspect in any way that you have inherited or created relationships that are anything less that amazingly supportive, it’s time to do a serious inventory and get clear on how to best position yourself for a happy life.

Of course, there are some difficult connections that you can’t just walk away from, but, if you suddenly realized that what people are saying to you has a lot to do with what you feel about yourself, wouldn’t you want to have people saying really lovely things?

When a stranger on the street calls you a jerk, you may let it go but, more likely, it stings right? Imagine what impact the words of those closest to you may be having on you day after day.

Of course you need to grow and learn like everyone else. Surely this can be accomplished in a loving environment as easily as a critical one.

But it’s you that has to commit to having the loving voices near. You that has to look at each connection and assure that you have done the best for your happiness. You that may need to compassionately withdraw from connections that don’t serve your health and you that will suffer if you come up with rationalizations why you should continue to invest your life energy into connections that don’t make you strong.

As your teachers, we must be firm, but kind. If we are ever cruel, you must abandon us completely. You deserve the most loving, supportive learning environment that you can possibly imagine. Anyone who fails in this simply does not belong.

Take your time and build yourself a team that is committed to success. It may take years, but even if it takes a lifetime, the moment you feel all that love behind you is the moment you will truly start to fly.

Make sure all your friends….. are, and we’ll see you in the sky. Jonathon
