The Things that Excite You Are Not Random
They are connected to your Purpose

A friend of mine has developed a massive list of people who respect her ability to connect with the community and foster a sense of unity with different groups she's familiar with. Outside of her social contributions, I've paid for her literary services but never really used her
relationships that she freely shares. We've known each other for years, and I was excited that she could get my most recent book in front of her contacts. When I was ready to move, got in contact and she just ignored my request entirely, saying she was busy. I waited and I've not heard from her since. I guess we weren't the kind of friends I had imagined. I didn't analyse the situation in depth then because it wouldn't be the first or the last time, friends and associates let you down.
But my mind started dredging up little instances were, people switched off when I was talking about my plans. Or how they never ever inquired about how you were doing in your endeavours. It dawned on me, I had a few people like that in my life, and suddenly I understood why.
EXCIEMENT OVERLOAD
I decided to call it that because I think I've been exposing those close to me with levels of excitement that most love it. But for some, it's just a bit too much for them to take. My friends will tell you I'm a quiet soul whose warped and bizarre rumination are mostly in my head. When I talk about my plans, I don't think I'm being overwhelming - to my mind at least but
even my understated way has proven overwhelming for some.
It could be that I'm reminding them of what its like to be excited about something in your life, how passion can awake that fire in your belly that they may have lost. Then there's the ones, who always have a plan and are enthusiastically working towards it. While they're confused on the inside, not knowing where they are or exactly or where
they're going.
Who knows.
What I've come to realize is that its essential for me, to do what I do and if I'm an uncomfortable reminder of what you're not doing, so be it.
