I have a friend that I met in one of my acting classes. We are both trying to achieve the same dream. I have studied about the seven spiritual laws of success as well as creating affluence, and I do believe that by helping others achieve their successes, success also comes to a person. I’ve only been studying about the ego and the laws of success for a few months, and some days I have a lot of trouble, while others I feel very confident; however, recently I’ve felt that as much as I’ve tried to help my friend, through making important contacts and connections, she seems to not help me in return, but to use my contacts to help herself only (one instance when I was engaged in a conversation she interrupted to promote herself). I know this stems from my ego and hers, and I truly do like her as a friend, but I am not sure how to deal with the situation.

I have been a painting contractor for almost 25 years now and although I do this to make a living it is not my calling. In 2000 I opened a Karate school and thought I would be ending my contracting career but I ended up back in it full time after I closed Karate school in 2007 by choice. I felt that dream had been fulfilled and ran its course. I’m very happy that I did it! My question is this, My passion since I was very young it to create new products or improve existing products. As of late I have put more energy into this dream but still door has opened to allow me to make a living doing this either for myself or for a company. This is my passion and it drives me. I’m a thinker! How do I make it happen?

Why is it that since my spirituality has increased my friendships have decreased?
