I'm wondering if sometimes you just have to cut and run. We all have the power to choose, and there come times where people in your life are just not ready to change course from behavior that is jeopardizing your destiny.

Without the ability to change someone, all one can do is, lovingly, and quite possibly from a distance, support them, but end the relationship. What do you think?

With the exception of toxic relationships, I can see that all of the others are just time wasters. If you saw the mess in my bedroom we'd probably understand why I haven't launched my website yet. To see toxic relationships as interference in reaching our goals tends to misrepresent what I think they really provide - an opportunity to look inward and think about how we can recreate them to be healthy. So although our goals are important, our soul's growth depends on "unwinding" toxicity and being able to create intimate, loving relationships with those around us. Hi Veron,
