Are Others Trying to Sabotage You?

Beware of the Dream-dashers!

There are people, usually due to their own insecurities, who will directly or indirectly attempt to DASH (sabotage) your dreams. They are the dream-dashers. If you truly believe in something you want to accomplish (whether for yourself or to aid others), do NOT let the dream-dasher in. They will diminish your vision and squelch your excitement before you realize what is happening.
-
Sometimes the dream-dasher is disguised as one offering to play "the devil's advocate" (an appropriate moniker), and other times this person will literally try to talk you out of your vision.
-
If you have realistically weighed the value of your pursuit and believe whole-heartedly in your dream, then carefully determine with whom and how you will communicate your vision.
-
It is wonderful when you can share exciting news about an idea you have developed. In fact, it is a conscious and subconscious move forward when you can share your vision. The experience of sharing your dream with someone who is positive and supportive will actally strengthen your belief that you can achieve it. Such a trusted individual can often help you expand your vision with even more possibilities.
-
When you believe in your vision and you want to see it grow and prosper, engage the people who you know will be nurturing and supportively honest. While they relish your enthusiasm, they will also reveal additional ideas to help crystallize your thinking. This is very different than approaching the person who seems to find strange pleasure in dashing other people's ideas, dreams, and goals.
-
Believe in the genius that gave birth to your idea, be cautious as to whom you entrust your precious imagination, and then enthusiastically pursue your dream with insight and planning.

List Your Reasons-To-Believe (RTB)

Reasons to Believe (RTB)
-
To achieve anything you must believe in your pursuit.

If you really want to accomplish a goal, to have something that you want to become a reality, then clearly establish your reasons to believe why this is what you want.

Do this exercise: Make a list of all your Reasons to Believe (RTBs) --- that is, the meaningful reasons why your desire should and will happen. Initially, just jot down all your ideas without regard to tiny details or sentence structure, simply get the thrust of your thinking down on paper. Sometimes this excercise can be done very quickly and other times it may be best to allow your thoughts to evolve over time. This process depends on the subject matter and whether this is a new brainstorm or a dream that has been percolating for some time.

When you feel that you have established your RTBs for pursuing your desired goal, you will have truly begun the foundation for your commitment to achieve your dream. You will realize, "Aha!, so this is why the goal is so important to me."

The next step is to crystallize how you are going to accomplish your pursuit. When setting out to create a plan of action, that's when you can begin refining the step-by-step approach toward achieving your goal. Keep your RTBs clearly in mind, do not get bogged down. Your enthusiasm is paramount, keep moving forward.

For sequential steps in pursuing a goal refer to the November 25, 2006 blog posting (see the "Archives" listing to the right). The main point of this posting is for you to understand the importance of clearly establishing your Reasons to Believe why you want your desired outcome. Once you decide on a goal, be absolutely sure that you know your RTBs --- and always make sure those reasons are your own.
