Why You Shouldn’t Share Your Goals with Everybody

Last Updated on November 16, 2022 by The Unbounded Thinker

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. We are unaware that sharing our goals is a fatal mistake that 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 overthink 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. Surprisingly, many 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.

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 shower you with the blessings you need to achieve your goals.
