The mister told me that last night. "what?" I asked, in a defensive manner. I was sure he had said something discouraging. "you've been so ambitious lately. I think it's great, It makes me feel good."
It's funny, I am very ambitious lately. I'm proud of my ideas, and my newfound ability to get them organized effectively. But for him to notice, and give me encouraging words. It really took me by surprise. And it got me thinking about supporting words.I am often reluctant to share my thoughts, my dreams with those closest to me. I know it is a fear of critisizm. On many occasions I'll have a grand idea, an insight. Proudly and energetically I share my thoughts. Moments later ideas I once valued as gold become rediculous and unrealistic. And I give up. I think alot of us are in this situation at some time or another. How do you keep value on your ideas when they are poorly recieved by your spouse, mother or closest friends?
or are you the one, who throws icewater on people's dreams? By negative response or by disinterest? We all need support, and to be supportive. Even super-cool, super-tough me, who is reluctant to admit it. I don't know if this is the right forum for this, but I wanted to share this. Embrace your ideas, and be supportive of others'. Be well, knowflakes

Laglady, I know the moments of incredible genius! Sometimes the endorphin gates just open up and let it all hang out. I believe those seemingly ridiculious ideas are truely gifts from your soul, a connection. Maybe the world isn't ready for them! But they're never stupid!IP: Logged |

That's cool laglady! I wonder if you having some kind of transit or progression that could contribute to these new feelings and thoughts....? I'm not normally one to be reluctant in telling others how I feel about them. But I have a bit of a problem in expressing *my own* inner feelings at times. I think it's nice to tell people how much you love them or the things you appreciate in them, how much they mean to you often. They could be gone tomorrow, why not tell them how much they mean to you everday? And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make. - Paul McCartney

I'm guessing that Jupiter hanging around my ascendant has something to do with how things are going for me. Right now, it's retrograde in my 12th house, has already crossed my ascendant once this year, and will again later this year.Indeed it is important to let those you care about know that you care. I was more referring to letting them know that you believe in their dreams. Sometimes "I believe in you" holds more weight than "I love you". Sometimes IP: Logged |
