When this happens they try to undermine our efforts. Remember, this is not malicious, it's done out of fear. If you can't get the support you need from your family it can be extremely discouraging. Try to seek out those who have a little more faith in your abilities. Don't be afraid to tell them the problem and ask for their support and encouragement. You can also inform your family members that, if they can't be encouraging, then they should respect you enough to keep it to themselves. I have a feeling you will tech them all a valuable lesson by your perseverance. Let me know if I can be of service.

I am a bit weary and it makes it even harder when I hear family members tell me that I can't change. That I won't make it if I make those changes. But right now I am forced to make these changes and I'm excited about them. It will already be hard enough to implement the changes it makes it even harder when the people that I love most in my life tell me that I can't do it. Well- I know they mean well but that's not what I need to hear at this moment. So I just have to continue and not listen to others and make the changes that are needed in my life. As you said- we need to embrace change and that's what I'm going to do ;-) All the best, Eren I need to implement the changes now. .-= Eren Mckay´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.embracinghome.com/gingerbread-man-house-kits/" rel="nofollow">Gingerbread man decorations & decorating gingerbread house kits plans</a> =-.

As foriegn as it seems to me, I also recognize that some people struggle with change and need some encouragement to learn to embrace it. It just shows how different we all are and yet we can all learn the skills that allow us to overcome the things that feel like obstacles to us personally.

Then there are those of us who thrive on it. Learning to embrace change can open up a world of possibility. Hi Arswino, change is tough for many people so you are definitely not alone.
