The rumors, the foolishness, the drama, whatever you want to call it has begun! When the people start talking do not start running! Let them talk! If they talking about you it is an indicator you are on the right path. I'm speaking of when your actions are not hurting anyone but growing and producing what it should! People can be fickle, people are dishonest and there are just some people who are out for themselves!
I hope nothing I mentioned in the paragraph above was of a surprise to you. If it is we need to talk. When you become visible in good things there is a sabotaging plan in action by someone who doesn't want you to be visible. Sabotaging can present itself like your friend or someone interested in supporting your purpose. The point I want to make here is that sabotaging isn't always coming from likely sources. Don't allow yourself to be fooled, the smiling face has a dagger in their hand. Of course everyone is not your enemy but on that same note everyone does not want for you to accomplish what you are. Some actions are to sabotage the plan and some are to discourage you because they don't like you.
Let me encourage to press forward in spite of the rumors. Create the path and set an example for others coming behind you. There are people who need what you are intimidated to make happen! The rumors are an indicator you are doing what you should, let them talk!
