I know what you mean, i start to tell my friends about this amxing insight the secret, but when they start taking the mic, and making my new found confidence a joke, I close my mouth and think may be i shouldn't say a word. So i just smile and laugh and i am starting to think, if i can stay positive in those moments then i can do it all the time.

I am so glad for this forum, to be able to share news and thoughts, and be able to be happy and posiitve and it be encouraged.

Wishing you happiness always. Stay strong!

These people don't understand yet that happiness is everyone's birth right and within everyone's grasp. You understand this Secret. Stay focused on continuing to create happiness and joy and put out powerful intentions to attract those who are postive and supportive into your life. One of my favorite quotes is "change your thoughts and change your world."

I have found the same, especially with people I have been close with. It as if I am a totally different person and it is difficult to even talk to some anymore. I just don't want to complain and gripe like I used to so they are not used to hearing me not go along with that kind of talk. All of your comments have helped me as well.

Yes i know exactly what you mean, i really can't utter a negative coment anymore, which is great.
But equally i find it difficult to be with people, who always harp on about the negative. I feel changed in my world, and i did attract those people before. I hope i only attract positve people in my life from now on. Well done to you, for making the positive change and sticking to it.

I think we all experience this in one way or another. I have separated from some relationships and distanced a few others, but what I have found in return is so amazing. It is peace....there is no drama, there is non-reaction, meditation, joy. Joy in the purest form. I find that even alone I find humor in so many things. Who ever thought that being alone (as opposed to lonely) could be so much fun.

Jack Canfield has a process he refers to as e+r=o...I find that works really well. Event + reaction = outcome. He has a program at http://www.thesuccessprinciples.com.
I find that Eckhart Tolle's quote works well for me also "it is not my business what you think of me." I have adopted that with my friends, who by the way, took along time to get on board. When we talk to each other and ask "How are you?" The response must be "I have no complaints." and then we have something to laugh about. Oprah came up with that one. Do whatever works for you, but know, WE ARE ALL HERE and you are doing great. At any other time in your life, would you have made that statement above? It is a very constructive observation about yourself.

Read the following somewhere ...

"Believe in yourself and there will come a day when others will have no choice but to believe with you."

I beleive that when you begin seeing thing in a new way, you will always be met with resistence. To most people this stuff is all so new and it breaks out of the confines of common beleif. If you continue on your path you may see that things begin to really change in a way that others willl see the positve effects it has had on your life. Dont be bothered by what others think because with love joy and positive emotions how can you ever go wrong?
Love and light
