What is a person supposed to do if the people they are around consistently bring them down? Stop hanging around them? Well, what if those are people you are "stuck" with?
How do you continue to grow and change and take joy in your growth when no one seems to be in your corner?
How do you act in your joy when it seems like you are being forced back to the place you came from?
Do you step back into the corner and keep to yourself? Do you try to overcome the obstacles and possibly spur others on to change in the process? Do you wallow in self pity and allow the new growth to wither and die?
What do you do?
Everyone has nay-sayers and negative people in their lives. Everyone feels discouraged sometimes by the behavior of others. But what will you do to continue growing in your life? What will you do to preserve the "mountain top"? What will you do to THRIVE?

It's hard to comment on vague posts like this because it forces me to be vague in my response. I don't think it's necessarily impossible to break-through and get where you want to be with doubters, nay-sayers and lethargic souls around you. It doesn't make things easier, that's for sure. But it's not impossible. Your family is your family for a reason. Same with your spouse. Not saying that you were talking about either but I'm just trying to be general. God can and will work with you in spite of them and that simple head-down heart forward attitude may even be for their beneficial purpose eventually. The devil tries to make *everything* around us a hindrance to where we want to be with God. Don't ever lose focus on God. Our hands are only capable of so much. His hands are bigger and can carry us through anything.
