Some
of us have big goals, and we love sharing them with many people. We share these
goals because we want people to either support us or realize that we are
focused. However, sharing our goals is a fatal mistake because it can lead to
discouragement.
When you share your goals, you open yourself to discouragement because many people will doubt your ability to achieve these goals, and they will try convincing you to stop going after them.
Mainly,
the people you love the most will tell you that it’s impossible to achieve
these goals, and the sad thing is that you might end up believing them. You
might find yourself overthinking and analyzing their arguments, and eventually,
you might give up if you are not a strong-willed person.
When
I started blogging, I shared my blogging goals with many people because I
believed they would support me. However, to my surprise, these folks discouraged
me. They sent me links to Youtube videos and articles that explained how it’s
impossible to succeed as a blogger, and some of them advised me to delete my
blog and look for a 9-to-5 job.
Their
advice discouraged me, and I kept overanalyzing their negative ideas about
blogging. I then realized that we humans tend to focus on negative advice
because I focused so much on their advice that I got headaches and anxiety
attacks. It took me a long time to overcome their negative impact, and I had to
force myself to work on my blog every day because I always thought about their
advice whenever I wrote an article.
I
would have given up if I wasn’t a strong-willed person.
I’m
sharing this information with you because I know some of you are weak-willed
dreamers with big goals, and you might give up easily after sharing your goals
with many people.
Today’s
world is filled with cowards who don’t believe in their/other people’s
abilities, and therefore, you might accidentally share your goals with these
folks.
For
this reason, keep your goals to yourself, or only share them with believers –
if you really feel like sharing them – and it will be easier for you to commit
to your goals.
Anyway,
I wish you the best in your endeavors. May the universe support you by
providing you with the grace, miracles, and blessings you need to achieve your
goals.
