I believe it was Wayne Dyer that said when an idea is forming it’s important to keep all interested parties up to speed.
In the past when I had idea, no matter how good it was, it seemed I was met with resistance on the other side. I would take it personally and give up easily. I didn’t push for anything because it would only bring up a fight. When they finally accepted it I would be angry because they had resisted it so strongly in the beginning.
I found Wayne Dyers advice helpful. It’s way easier to throw out an idea, plant the seed, and water it enough times to see it grow.
After I did this enough times I learned my ideas weren’t actually mine or a reflection of me, they were just inspiration I drew out of thin air. Maybe they would work or maybe they wouldn’t and I was no longer personally attached to them.
I started to see that the resistance I felt from others was their resistance to life, to change, and to new ideas. It was a reflection of them, not of me.
This changed everything. Once I realized this it became fun to throw out an idea and watch them squirm and struggle with it, and I would have a mini celebration when they finally came through their resistance.
Mom has quoted Wayne Dyer for years, “when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change”. Turns out that Wayne and mom were right. And this way is a lot more fun.
