We Don't Take Them Crushed Author: Sue Dyson
A very important aspect to making your dreams come true involves staying focused on your goal, believing, with your whole heart, it is a reality.
Dreams and goals stand less of a chance of coming to fruition if they've been crushed, or stomped on in any way. This is common knowledge.
When we have a goal, we are told to hold fast to the dream, don't waver, don't dilute. Wavering does not give the Universe a chance to deliver. Diluting your dream, asking for less than you originally intended, sends a conflicting message to the Universe also.
We get so excited about our visions, we eagerly tell someone else, maybe a family member, friend or neighbor - even a significant other, and we forget, they aren't always on the same wavelength as us. They push our 'How are you going to do that?' buttons.
Did you know successful, high achievers don't think about the 'How'? They don't think about 'How am I going to achieve this?'. They simply focus on the What, and allow the Universe to deliver the How.
If you get a reaction from someone after telling them about your dream of, "No way", or "Hmmm" or "Yeah, right, I'll believe it when I see it", or even a non-committal grunt, quickly tell yourself "cancel, cancel" and redirect your thoughts back to the positive vibe of your achievement. Do not lose that dreamy, feel-good sensation. Continue to feel it with all your heart. It's that feeling, that excitement you experience when you visualize the goal, that makes it all happen.
People who provide you with such responses are not able to think of you and what you need. Their reply comes directly from their own experiences and should definitely not be taken seriously. I know, you can keep wishing others would respond to your excitement with enthusiasm and support, but the fact of the matter is, YOU are the only one who really needs to be enthusiastic about your venture because YOU are the only person who will make it a reality.
It's too bad for these other folks, however, the best thing you could do with such responses (after cancelling any negative effects fired your way) is to return love to them. They obviously need it when they are unable to feel joy for you and your excitement.
Strive to rise above it, do not take their comments personally, for they are simply coming from the results of their past history. It really has very little to do with you and Now.
The flip side of these situations is to be aware of when we may be squashing someone else's dreams. Have you caught yourself saying 'no way' to someone else's dreams Or being less than enthusiastic when someone shares a bright idea? Sometimes we inadvertently squash our kids' dreams in an effort to 'protect' them from being hurt. The logic behind this is to disappoint them before someone else does. Who are we to say where our kid's dreams lay? It is a process they are undergoing. It is how they determine FOR THEMSELVES who they are, what they desire out of life.
Say your child shows a strong interest in skateboarding. He - and I mean no gender bias, it's just relative to my life and will make this read better - is passionate about it. Does it 24/7. Eats, sleeps, breathes it. Only ever wants to skate like the wind. Because of your own conditioning, this may not be your dream for your child. You may believe he can do so much more with his life. I don't feel this way about skateboarding, by the way, but some adults do. Back to the story...
He may or may not desire to become a world class skateboarder. He may be unaware a desire could be felt so strongly about anything. It's the process that matters. In loving skateboarding - or whatever - he is learning what it feels like to get to know himself. He is learning how to care about something so much it makes him ache. He is also learning about his world and how he is accepted in it based on his love of something, his desires.
It is so vitally important that we accept people, our little clones included, for their spirit. Not what they believe in. Not what they love or don't love. Not what they look like. Or don't look like. This is what we expect from others, don't we?
