OP

your point was proven by making this thread....

it took nikkas literally minutes to start telling you youre wrong and weak minded for how you feel



and i agree breh....i tell very few select people about what i will do...most dont understand and cant visualize it

 

[Illified infinitely]

No point. People understand better when you show them.

 

[BlackDiBiase]

never tell people the road you are about to embark on this leaves them room to congest it.

One thing I had to learn the hard way is to never tell anyone your goals


1. They are your dreams/goals that are unique to YOU. No one can ever see your point of view better than yourself. Someone criticizing your goals is just their interpretation of your perception. It's like holding a pair of binoculars viewing something miles away and they are giving their opinion of what they think you saw

2. Telling someone your goals is basically telling that person that you're not sure of yourself. I used to do this alot when I was finding and thinking what career path I wanted to go to. I would tell my siblings and friends literally every step of my thought patterns. Like I was literally looking for affirmation, "You think that's good right?"


3. You end up living to fulfill that person's expectation instead of fulfilling your own. Now you're at that new job or taking that college class for them. Any roadblock you experience is gonna feel like you're failing yourself as well as them. All that stress and anxiety for no reason. Keeping shyt to yourself and blazing your own trail is like driving on the highway with no traffic at sunrise, it's pure freedom



I'm the only one who knows my secrets to being successful, and it feels amazing

Found this one out the hard way. Would share my career aspirations and how I would go about it with my family and would be met with "Oh, here we go with this again?" Left me and partially why I no longer have a relationship with them.

Did you write this or link it? It's really dope advice. I'd love to reblog it. @UpAndComing do you have a site or anything?

I just wrote this. I made a blogspot website of some of my writings when I was in HS. I originally wanted to be a writer for a career

You see that right, like clockwork

Simply professing your plans can be a huge threat to people who don't see your vision

 

[Cynic]

Your rise will reflect badly on their own life choices so best to keep you grounded and ambitonless

the biggest joke all of them is after you soar to success they'll say you are soooooooooooooooo lucky

if youre not around supportive people then yea dont tell them shyt...you know who's supportive and who's not by their body language or how they act when you tell them shyt...if you tell someone your goals and they reply back with an unenthusiastic "that's good " without showing any genuine interest or following up with any questions...watch out for that person..i got motivational speeches on deck for any of my loved ones that tell me their aspirations in life

watch out for people that's fake supportive too...cause once you actually accomplish what you set out to do they act like they proud of you but in actuality...

I just blog what I like. Motivation, random thoughts, pro media and pro earth. Its comedy/lifestyle a la a young black vagabond in Vegas. Pm me when you get a chance if you wanna contribute. I ain't ballin but I'll compensate.

funny was just watching a vid on this very topic..

DEFINITELY never tell your boss/higher ups your goals, if it involves you leaving the company or doing something of your own full time.
Had lunch with some coworkers and the CEO of the company i work for. He turns to me and asks "So where do you see yourself in years down the road?"
i hit the " well I want to continue in the position i am at now and get better and better every day."
but in my head im like " ima start my own business and GTFO here. Oh, and your old white ass is payin for lunch "

That didn't seem like a smart answer. You'd be surprised at who's willing to see your vision turn to fruition. You basically came off as someone who's unmotivated to do better. But you know your employer better than I do, but I also believe in what will be will be. If he wanted to fire you for having goals than so be it, maybe that's the push you need to make your dream a reality asap. Assumptions make an ass out you and that person.

Nothing wrong with telling people your goals. Those are end results. Unless they are an ally, keep the strategies and tactics to reach them to yourself

OP you got some fukked up friends if you can't even share your goals without going through all of this.

I never tell people because hating ass people tend to blow your steam, show people don't tell them.

You may think you have the best idea in the world, you go tell Tom and he'll be like.. well so and so did it.. so it's not the best

Don't tell people jack shyt, not even your mother nikka.
