Mission associates or friends?

I used to be very attached to my friends earlier. Thinking about them, helping them, even at my cost. I would not think twice before giving. I don't have a habit of calculating the returns. Some turned out genuine. Some did not. That is life. I had lot of expectations that were met. Some that were not.

When I started exploring the true purpose, via training programs like think and grow rich...(no wonder its the second largest selling book in the world) with siddharth shah, followed by mind power with naresh rangwani, it became clear that Mission associates, buddies, master mind are all aligned to the same mission and offer rock solid support to each other. This committed set of souls can be relied upon to keep their commitments, give Frank feedback as everyone is on a forward journey. Time spent with them is enjoyable, it is free from bias, opinions, judgements...

Friends on the other hand, are for sharing thoughts, feelings, good and bad times. Emotional entanglement with friends is more likely as there are expectations...and some are met and some are not...

As the thought process has evolved, with experience, learning, support, I no longer need emotional support from friends. I see material things as transitional. Intoxication in parties is no longer attractive, as it lowers vibrations. Things which I used to enjoy, now seem futile.

At different stages in life, I have had a mix...earlier in life, mission associates were zero, as there was no mission clarity. Friends were plenty. Now the balance has tilted completely.

Now as the mission is clear, I am drawn to mission associates automatically. The vibrations I send out, come back with like minded thoughts, people, things, words, actions, results, everything!

Interaction with friends has reduced to reading group chats, wishing them on birthdays, attending celebrations and helping them. They are no longer top of the mind. There was no conscious action to do this...it has happened automatically.

The purpose, the mission, has enveloped my life now . Friends are no longer the focus.

Having a friend as a mission associate will be a wonderful feeling...it's yet to happen...will happen at the right time.

As for being friends with my mission associates...well its already happening now.

I am so grateful to have wonderful mission associates in my life. This includes My family. My team. My associates. All on the mission to add tremendous value to millions of lives.

I feel blessed to be in this state.
