I'm new. Obviously. And I've seen a lot of writing about how we our masters of our own destiny. It seems to me once those blinders come off (the blinders that prevent people from seeing reality from a new paradigm--the new paradigm where a cubicle and half-hour for lunch and broken window created busy work just isn't cutting it) nothing is satisfactory anymore except actions that move you forward toward your goals.

I might sound sort of vague. So, here's something concrete. Somewhere around here someone wrote, if your 9-5 job isn't moving you toward freedom--the most important thing in your life, you need to quit now. Right, that addresses "*work*"-- but what about your personal life?

I'm supposed to be seeing this friend tonight. It is going to cost me 4 hours of my precious time. She is, most likely, going to complain for more than half of it. I am realizing I cannot afford to have her in my life. She gets in my way and brings me down.

So, how many of you have had to cut out dead wood in the form of people (friends or associates) to keep moving forward?
