It's important to surround yourself with energetic, loving and supportive people, who have your best interest at heart. This is particularly critical when you are in the process of making positive changes in your life. If you have friends or family members that zap and drain your energy, or give you the "you're crazy!" talk, it would be in your best interest to disregard their opinions with love.
This may be difficult for you, as it may discourage you from being assertive of what you want in life, so be patient with yourself. The important point is that you recognize that this is part of your evolution and growth. It's something, you must do for you! Think of it as releasing stale energy, so that you can welcome new opportunities and experiences into your life. Letting go is also a fundamental step in honoring your personal growth.
