Well friend, whether we label it sarcasm, jealousy, envy, etc., is really nothing but your light shinning so bright that it is scaring them. See Friend, I remember Marianne Williamson saying that it is not our darkest that scares us the most, it is our light. So what they see in you, the greatness, the radiance, the light, the power, which translate in your awesome performance, is nothing but a reflection of their inner power. The one that they are not ready to accept yet. So to copy with that, they do whatever they can in order to try to bring you down to their level. This is a very delicate point in your personal transformation because as you continue to grow, two things will be happening simultaneously. Your higher vibration will start drawing into your space people, opportunities and circumstances that matches your new level of being, at the same time, you may notice a lot of resistance around you such as what you are experiencing now. Also people whom you used to be close, either family or friends, naturally will start to wither away. At this point what it is suggested is to always look for your guidance. Your approval within which comes from your inner power. What you are going through, is a transitory process in which you are given an opportunity to not only reclaim your power, but to access it. This circumstance may give you an opportunity to see in which other areas you can grow. Maybe you can start exercising self-respect so that people will no longer treat you they way they do. The truth is Friend, if you continue growing and expanding, eventually you may end up moving out from that environment to one that is more fulfilling and healthier for you. And as you look back, you'll appreciate how the universe helped you make a decision you may have been putting off. If on the other hand, you work in a place that you love and thoroughly enjoy, then either they will move away from your space, or you can practice standing on your grounds so that they start treating you the way you deserve. Because remember Friend, people will only treat you the way you teach them how to treat you. I know this may sound strange because you may say, "I didn't asked them to treat me with sarcasm?" Maybe not consciously, but if you unconsciously feel uncomfortable standing on your grounds, either because of fear of rejection, or approval, people will pick up on that and whatever they can get away with, is the way they may treat you. To illustrate my point let me ask you. Is there someone you know who people would not dare to use sarcasm or treat them the way you may have been treated? I am not talking about the boss or someone very influential. I am just talking about someone who simply demands respect, someone that without saying anything, just by the way they act, talk or behave, people would clearly know where they stand? Well, seems like you may have more opportunities to grow aside from your success. Because here is one elementary truth. There is a proverb that says, "The higher the tree, the harder the wind blows." So as you continue growing and expanding, the wind is going to blow harder. So love it, welcome it, appreciate it! Because everything you are going through is simply helping you build your character. Your character Friend is the one what will help you appreciate and enjoy everything that you will achieve. So the long answer to your short question is, continue expanding, stay on your grounds and bless them for those who will ridicule today are the ones who will admire you tomorrow. It is a matter of time. And who knows, they will be coming up to you so that you can help them get to where you are. And instead of laughing at them, you'll love them and understand that they just needed to be ready. And by you shinning your light and not buying into their darkness, you were able to help them see the light within them. Not by teaching them but by being an example. As Dr. Rev. Michael Beckwith once said, "You don't want to teach people how to do it, you want to share with them how you did it!" So keep doing it friend! Because you are a light worker! You are a chosen one! And the whole world is waiting for you to shine your light so that they can learn how to shine theirs!

May the light of Spirit shines brighter and brighter within you and I know deep within my soul that all your dreams will soon come true if you believe in yourself as much as I believe in you! Love, peace and blessings, Nick Arandes (The Radical Kid)
