So often when we have a new goal or idea we internalize it. We keep it secret from the world, either out of fear of being ridiculed or fear of someone stealing it. The very problem with this, is that it is a fearful action and whenever we indulge our fears we stunt our progress. To be honest if you are fearful that your friends will ridicule you or steal your idea, are they really your friends at all?
Communication is so important because it the first step to becoming, you are informing the world of the new you. There are 3 main benefits of communicating your goal with others, they are.
1. Commitment. By communicating with others your true intent, you truly commit to it. This is in some ways because you don’t want appear a failure, essentially a negative emotion, but in this scenario it is used as a positive driving force.
2. Enabling help. How can others help you if they don’t know your plan? By telling people what you are doing you enable them to aid you on your journey.
3. Inspiring new thoughts. The more you speak and think about your plan the more ideas you will develop. This is not magic, it’s a simple fact that up to now you have thought of your goal in the singular. Now that you need to explain it to others you will of course develop new thoughts and ideas as you are now thinking of it multi dimensionally / in the perception of others.
Communication is a wonderful tool that is so often undervalued or even mistrusted. This is because of one emotion, fear. When it occurs, one must doubt the fear that has held then back and trust the plan that is moving them forward. Start communicating your goals and desires and you will find in abundance the commitment, help and inspired thought you need to succeed.
