Each of us a pioneer of our own unique path...

If you reached the stage where you have grown beyond your fmaily of origin, its important not to pressure yourself to bring them along with you. You don't have that obligation, and you also don't have that right. In the same way as you didn't want them to define you, they don't want you to define them. It's up to them, just like it was up to you. You may feel sure that you have foudn a more awakended way of being, but they may not agree. And even if they do, it's for them to decide if they want to join you. The world I want to live in, is one where everyone gets to pick the path that is true for them. None better than the other. None more worthy of praise. Each of us a pioneer of our own unique path. - Jeff Brown
