		<description>@ Susan Belukas: First of all welcome to my blog and thank you for opening up like this. I totally understand where you are coming from because I have been in your shoes in the past.

Here is what I think. You are attracting those people into your life because deep within you might have this fear of advancing way above the levels of your so called friends. In my eyes, friends ain&#039;t friends if they try to pull you down.

Unfortunately you have to push through those setbacks and distance yourself from these people. I had to do the same with some members of my birth family. They were consistently pulling me down in many ways and no matter how much I discussed, argued, cried and fought with them, nothing ever changed. So I did what had to be done. I created a massive distance between us and it has helped to free me up of that huge pressure within.

You know you are strong and you don&#039;t need other people to make you feel inferior.

Those people do this because they themselves have a huge inferiority complex. So what they do is pull everyone around them down with them - if you let them!

I just let this happen yesterday from some twat who tried to - and managed to pull me down (see my anal reader behavior post). 

Be strong by creating the necessary distance you need and start to hang out with empowering people instead. It will do wonders for you, believe me.

I hope this will help you to  empower yourself. If you ever feel like chatting between two strong women, drop me a line and we can hook up on skype.

Take care and let me know how you go please. :-)</description>

		<description>I just found this blog today and I&#039;am so very happy. This is my issue. I have always been very driven and success oriented in my life.  My problem is I have great difficulty with people who envy my strong will.  I never compete against anyone, always an excellent friend and pulling them up with me.  However I sometimes choose friends who compete against me and try to pull me down. What am I doing wrong.  Then I get down and can not understand their mind set.  Why do people get jealous? I love women who have great minds, driven and very strong willed it fuels me! It does not make me angry, so I dont understand why it does the others? Does anyone have any advise on how do I get over thinking of those who try to pull me down? This is my weak point! Need some pointers! Thank you!!!</description>

		<description>@ Cath: Yes we all struggle. In fact, I&#039;m going through one of my dark phases right now. I just can&#039;t be bothered. It&#039;s not easy to stay motivated all the time. I don&#039;t think anybody can.

But for those of us who ride through those times, there is light on the other side. I&#039;m glad you liked the whole analogy of the post.</description>

		<description>@ Rita: Statehood sounds a good name. A lost soul that can never replace its childhood.

Thanks for the heads up. I just replied. :-) Did you consider using a subscribe to comments Plugin? Just an idea, it might bring people back to their earlier comments more easy.</description>

		<description>@ Friar: Sounds like she had no choice in the matter of becoming famous. I do hope she is happy, but by the sounds of it she isn&#039;t. 

This sounds like the classical egoistic ride of parents who want better for their kids than they had, so they go and abuse the sh*t out of them, paying a huge price.

Sad.</description>

		<description>@ Jenny: Wooohooo, I&#039;m glad you did. Congratulations and well done. It must feel great to accomplish something like this. 36 miles is certainly a distance.

How is your bum? Are you sore?</description>

		<description>Hi Monika - I love this post.  Not just because of the great advice, but also because you&#039;re telling us that nobody gets all this right straight away.  And no matter how enthusiastic we are, many of us are liable to experience burn out at some point and struggle to motivate ourselves.</description>
