They were folks who liked to do things alone and relied only on themselves to put the world to rites. Although this behavior obviously worked for them, it may not necessarily be the best method for us mere mortals.
When on a weight loss journey, we often tend to want to go it alone and do everything ourselves, the super woman/man syndrome. But it is not always the best way to go about changing your lifestyle to a healthier one especially if you have a family.
Imagine not telling anyone you are on a diet and then every evening you are surrounded by ice cream, chocolate and fast food. How long do you think you will last before you cave in and start eating unhealthily again? My guess is not that long.
So perhaps the best thing to do would be to get support. In Charles Haanel’s book The Master Key System, Haanel suggests that when we set an intention we should absolutely keep it to ourselves because sharing it weakens our energy surrounding our desire because we are then subject to the opinions of others.
Although I do agree with Mr. Haanel’s sentiments I also believe that one size does not always fit all. Yes there are times when I want to manifest certain things in my life and I do not share my intention with the world for the exact reasons that Charles Haanel states.
But I do not go to the extreme that Haanel suggests, I tend to walk a middle road that has worked extremely well for me so far, and that is I carefully select who I am going to share my intentions with.
For instance earlier this year I lost 54lbs; when I set my intention to change my lifestyle I only told two people and I chose these two people for one simple reason. They are the most positive people I know.
I knew that I would not feel pressured to succeed; I knew that I would not get the endless suggestions or disapproval if I fell off the wagon. I knew without a shadow of a doubt that they would support me 100% until I succeeded, and that is exactly what happened.
So my point is by all means share your intentions with others but be selective about who you share with. You want the right kind of support, you want people around you who are going to uplift you when you are feeling down, who are going to encourage you to keep going and who are going to cheer for you when you succeed.
This is exactly the kind of support you can expect to get at my new weight loss and law of attraction support site.

Carol,
That was an EXCELLENT post! Please know this, my lack of participation has nothing to do with you. You have created a wonderful supportive environment. I just need to get myself in check.
Cheers to you Coach Carol!
