The Secrecy Power Vacuum Principle

Actions speak louder than words - have you ever heard this statement before? And do your actions match your words? Does the following sequence of events sound familiar...?

A great idea germinates in your head, and you get so excited with your new fledgling vision, you blurt this goal out to all those around you.

What does this do? It has a definate tendency to raise everyone’s expectations of you performing.

You, by then placing an over enthusiastic date for completion (and sharing this unnecessary time-restraint) of the said goal, put inappropriatly-positioned negative pressure on yourself, that then drains energy that should have been used for the completion of your goal.

You then begin to lose faith in your ability, and the faith you have the energy to complete your visioned goal. Others sense your lack of faith and they too begin to lose faith, and unfortunately, as it is with human nature, it can take a long time to rebuild respect and trust.

All of this ultimately hinders your ability to return to the positive side of the track, because you are still engaged in the activity (or lack of activity) which caused the problem in the first place. Letting your words, take the place of your action.

One way to overcome this problem and support the progress of being great (rather than wanting to be great), is to keep the goal to your self and accomplish it in small steps.

Reward yourself as you make progress but don't tell anyone about it. As you get closer to your goal, and you achieve more success, people will start to notice a difference, but don't tell them anything yet. Only when you have accomplished what you set out to do, do you let the fire out of the hatch.

When we suppress the urgency to tell others our goals, we are actually harnessing and focusing the creative fires within on the goal, rather than sharing our inner fire with others before it has even had a chance to ignite. When you harness the fire, you have a powerful tool that creates more energy and warms the desire to accomplish what we set out to do.

The only thing that separates the successful from the unsuccessful is POSITIVE FOCUSED ACTION.

Then let the results of your creative work do the talking for you.
