Have you ever been in a situation, where someone is doing something you don't like but you don't bother to communicate this to them? It may seem so much easier to say nothing and hold your feelings in. Or it may seem like too much energy to expend.

Have you ever considered effect this decision may have on people involved? Are you aware of any feelings of resentment rising either immediately or later? I'll use an example situation of how this may play out in real life.

Monica finally made time to simply sit down and do nothing. She'd been running around all day without a break. As soon as she became comfortable, her friend Suzy dropped by with her rambunctious kids. Normally, Monica would be thrilled to see her friend. Today, after some trying personal events, all she really wanted and needed was some quiet, alone time.

Monica had three choices in this situation. She could be assertive and state her needs for time to herself. She could choose to remain consciously silent, that is, say nothing and observe her reactions, learning from them. Or she could choose to be unconsciously silent. And yes, making no choice is still a choice.

The problem with last option, saying nothing and not examining your reaction for doing so, is resentment is bound to build within relationship. Unless you take care of energy this resentment creates it will always be there, buried deeper as time passes and this can have detrimental effects on our body, mind and spirit.

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 dream, don't waver, don't dilute. Wavering does not give Universe a chance to deliver. Diluting your dream, asking for less than you originally intended, sends a conflicting message to 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 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 'How'? They don't think about 'How am I going to achieve this?'. They simply focus on What, and allow Universe to deliver 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 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 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 fact of matter is, YOU are only one who really needs to be enthusiastic about your venture because YOU are only person who will make it a reality.
