Standing Alone
Strength of numbers is the
delight of the mind.
The Valiant in spirit glory in
fighting alone.
Ghandi
Did you ever notice that when you decide on doing something, whether it be changing jobs or following your dreams and you begin to discuss your ideas with family, co-workers and friends, that you will inevitably need to defend your ideas and most likely end up arguing in defense of your thoughts? Why? Because when we put those ideas out there, two things happen. First, behind those ideas is our ego intent on bragging to others in order to validate the thoughts and intent. Remember that intent from ego is taking the wrong direction. Intent from heart is the true and right direction.
Second, no matter how strong you feel about your idea, the fact is that when others finish telling you how “out there” your idea is or give you logical reasons as to why it’s never going to work, all that negativity will kill your idea and result in it never coming to fruition.
As in the quote above, the Valiant is one who stands alone in his or her ideas. Your ideas from the heart grow and our born into fruition by your not needing any validations but rather taking that first step on your own with a clear understanding and knowing that this idea which comes from your heart is your destiny.
Here are a few suggestions:
1. Creation is derived from the unseen into the seen. It is born within your spirit and created as a result of that birth, by you.
2. You do not need endorsements from others. Endorsements come from ego. Your heart needs to be the ruler.
3. You don’t need to announce your ideas. They come from your spirit therefore they need no introduction or applause.

Ocean Beach, I grew so much as a person, for myself when I lived there. Because that is where I would retreat. That is where my solace speaks.
Thank you Joanne.

Then we think we are lonely.
I found myself defending my idea when started blogging, but then like you said, I didn't have to announce my idea nor trying to validate it..Love this!
rainfield, so eloquently expressed. You are wise my friend.
Julie, So true and the fact is that negative people should not even be a part of our lives. As I grow older I realize this and as a result a much more peaceful existence is at hand.
Thank you Icy.
Betchai, I couldn't have said it better myself. Many people also look at me thinking I'm crazy to blog. However, the way I see it, we all have gifts to share with this world and blogging is our way of sharing. I have learned so much from your blogs over this past year and it gives me so much pleasure to learn what I do from all of you. The fact is that people who do not share their inner gifts, and, we all have our own gifts, are not really living. Thank you so much my friend :)
Ratty, I agree. People who truly care about you will support you and people who don't aren't worth the time.
Thank you Robin :)
Ayie, I'm glad it spoke to you in some way.
Often, there is an underlying fear. We fear our magic to be stolen.
We should fear no such thing. If we announce our heart's desires to all, it doesn't matter what they say, we alone know our own truth.
Sometimes,speaking our truth is good for us, as we gain momentum from declaring what we want to declare. But it is the thought "maybe if I say it, someone will steal it" which is to be overcome.
The greatest battle of our spirit...is with our mind. Mind is flesh. Spirit is eternal.
