Guard Your Vision

By In Listen, Think

This is an encore presentation.

Guard Your Vision!

The best thing someone did for me recently was tell me I wouldn’t accomplish my goal because
THAT absolutely guaranteed my success.
I do NOT accept people’s negative wishes as they pertain to my life.
Those days are over.
There was a time when the opinions of others meant so much more to me on a wholesale level.
That was before I finally leaned toward my own often ignored understanding
everyone doesn’t believe the same way.

I’m not talking religion or political ideology.
I’m talking COMMITMENT TO BELIEVING as a thing unto itself.

Everyone simply cannot share your vision for yourself.

It’s not their vision, it’s your vision.

It’s not their belief circumstances will align for your greater good.

It’s your belief in those circumstances and that alignment.

The vision of others may not be as expansive or open to achievement or even expectant of miracles as mine is for me. It doesn’t have to be. My vision for me is not your vision for me.

I’m living my life and other people are living their lives and if those people are in a limited space, meaning the space between their ears, well, have at it but don’t box me into that tiny mindset.

I encourage those people to keep to themselves the discourse about all the reasons things can’t or won’t possibly happen and the questions of why, as well as the advance patronizing “helpful” phrases like, “well, if it doesn’t work out you’re still going to be okay”.  When you hear things like that, know those people have counted you out and indicated they really don’t believe at all.

Those people often don’t even believe in themselves. That’s really too bad.
Don’t believe but do it on your own time with your own unachieved goals.

I erase your negative and overly cautious barely optimistic words from my mind lest they take hold and start me on the path to disbelieving my own power to receive all that is great, wonderful, and MAGNIFICENT!

New day.

New discipline.

Good decisions.

Let this be just another reminder of why it’s often better to keep things to yourself while you’re making things happen to avoid even the slightest possibility of your positive thoughts being infiltrated by the negative stirrings of others.

It’s better to kick ass in private sometimes; then let people see the bruises and bandages on the problem you solved after the fact. The only person who can count you out in your own life is you.

Guard your vision.
