It happens…you make a decision and share it with those closest to you and they just don’t get it. You expect them to be excited with you and share your enthusiasm but instead they are negative. Instantly deflating…
I’ve been there too. I have a Young Living business that I run from home, I homeschool, I’m completely against religion but I love Jesus. I live most of my life differently than the rest of the world. I expected for those that love me to be my biggest cheerleaders but instead those expectations were met with disappointment and hurt. I mean, how hard is it for someone to share your Facebook posts to help you get more reach so you can make more money to take care of your husband and child? Right? How hard is it to tell other family members about your amazing products? How hard is it to keep your mouth shut about someone’s decision to oversee their child’s education personally? I am just saying what most of us honestly feel.
I recently did this Facebook Live where I explain why I think those closest to us struggle sometimes to see what it is we are trying to do. It is something that has helped me to be more understanding of those unsupportive loved ones.
I also offer my advice about what to do when you encounter this situation.
Be sure to leave a comment on the video and let me know if you find it helpful too. I hope you find some encouragement to keep being you to the fullest. I believe in you and all the things you are doing to be who you were created to be.
Blessings,

love this it is so true everything you say i’m still trying to figure out what i want to do. trying to find my passion in life. i need prayer i want to do something in life than feeling stuck right now. i need prayers please i’m what people would call the weirdo or weird personally there is nothing wrong with me just been through alot. and i just stay to myself so other don’t hurt me. i would help anyone do anything for anyone. some people just like telling you that you need to do this or that or your not doing something they like (family). i’m the strange one in my family or so they say honestly i’m the sane one that is there for everyone. sorry for the rant. i totally understand this for sure. thank you for speaking on this i didn’t know if it was just me that understood this.
No apologies! I appreciate you sharing and you know what I love people that don’t fit in. Jesus didn’t fit in either. He was radical! Fitting in is over rated any way. You are being true to who you are and that is all that matters.
