What If I Share My Success To Someone?

[Canadian]

 

hi everyone

I want to ask you very important question. Some say that it's always bad when you share your success to everyone. They think that there are jealous people and this is dangerous. They say that it's always better no to tell anyone about your success (unless that person is a family member or a close friend.) They think that ''telling the world'' about your success is always bad and jealous people always affect on our minds. In my opinion, it doesn't decide anything if you share it to everyone or not, because I know I can take full control of my life. But still, what's your opinion about it?

In my opinion if you share your success with someone then they'll know that you are successful.  jk

Sharing your success if you wish can be a positive endeavour, absolutely.

You said: I know I can take full control of my life.

Great! Now think about why you're sharing that success? Because you wish to make somebody benifit from your success in a healthy way? Because it makes you feel good to get appreciation of your success you've worked for? Because you do so out of love of life and sharing happiness of your own?

I see no resistance in sharing if done so with awareness, with the best of intentions involved! 

Best wishes

Sharing your Success to me is good, I love to inspire people and those that are on the path to make their lives better will like what you have to say/Accomplished. Haters will hate because they didnt get it and neither believe that they can also do it. It depends on where youre coming from. 

Either way do it for you and fuck what "They Say".

canadian there is a saying from one of the biblical text, which says, cast not your pearls before swine, lest they turn and rend you and trample you underfoot.  sharing your success with some will be fine, some will ridicule and make fun of you, and don't tell me that it wont bother you, i know better.   so my point is if something is sacred to you, only share it with those who can respect you and what you are doing or keep it to yourself,   allowing others to ridicule and abuse you isnt a sign of personal growth.  and sometimes family can be the worst for the ridicule and abuse.

Sharing can be a great motivation for your next successes but bragging about your deeds and not listening to the other party might not be very desirable and might hurt the people you love.

On the other hand, why would you share anything with a person who possibly has a jealous character? If you have genuine friends they will be happy for you anyways.

Another thought, in the middle east there is the belief of evil eyes. People believe that the energy that comes from the eyes of certain people -might be out of admiration or jealousy - hurt some people, even to death. So they suggest keeping a low profile always. Mind you, this is just a belief, an intuition maybe people have. Do not be attached to beliefs so much.

I love it when people share their own success stories because it helps me gain insight into how success can be achieved. I think we can create a section of the forum where we discuss our own success stories so we can share our success stories and learn about how success can be achieved. There are a wide variety of success stories like the artist who had conflict with their family over their passion, the filmmakers who rebelled against the Hollywood system by making their own films, the author who lived in poverty and on welfare and who wrote one of the greatest fantasy series and who is now richer than the queen, the self-made entrepreneurs who started out in poverty or as immigrants or as orphans, and so many other success stories. I consider many modern Internet comedians to be the modern epitome of success stories. For example, Doug Walker of Nostalgic Critic fame, began as a Navy brat who moved extensively as a child, who was socially awkward and a misfit in high school, and who started out as a janitor and he began with a simple camera and bare bones filmmaking and he went on to become one of the Internet's best comedians today. James Rolfe, of Angry Video Game Nerd fame, was a shy and socially awkward child with a passion for filmmaking and movies who almost died in a car crash and he is now Internet famous and he funded his first feature length movie through crowdfunding and fan donations. The greatest success story is Jesse Ridgway, of McJuggerNuggets fame, who dealt with childhood trauma from getting his legs stuck in a tar pit, getting mauled by his childhood dog, having a brain surgery before graduating college, suffering in a dysfunctional family especially pressure from his tyrannical father and he has millions of YouTube subscribers and he's sharing his passion for filmmaking and video games and overcoming the haters and a lack of family support.

@Kenya you are right, there is something in my mind which makes me believe that it's better not to share it to anyone. I can change it...

@Andre I know, sharing is so good, but still... it's horrible to share it to someone who is jealous. 

@charlie2dogs charlie that's a very interesting point, sometimes we think that a person isn't jealous to us but he is... he isn't happy because of our success. That's why I wrote :''unless he is a family member or a close friend.' My question is it good to share  success with all of your friends? not only some of them.

I want to share it to everybody because of my ego, I know that it's better to fix it. I'm working on it.

evil eye-That's exactly what I meant in this topic, I just didn't know how to express it in English. So, having a belief of 'evil eye'- that one of my basic problem.I'll try to fix it...

@Zane So it's completely OK for you to share your success to someone, right?

[Saarah]

@Canadian I prefer keeping things to myself but close people (just one or two) who you trust and anyone who isn't really involved in your life such as people on forums then it's not really going to make a difference, it's when people hold a lot of influence in your life like maybe family members then it can become a lot to have to manage people particularly if they're unsupportive of you. And some people may secretly be unsupportive and publicly supportive, it's best just to avoid all that until you're in a strong place with your success that outside forces can't influence it because at the beginning stages so much more can go wrong 

[Andre]

@Canadian Go with your gut on this one, trust that inner voice, it speaks and guides you all the time. sometimes I tell people who are likely to care and sometimes I just don't speak. some people will look down on you when they think they are better than you but they have lessons to learn in life and they might be far worse off than you. I know I hate that feeling too. I have kept quiet a lot of times, even when I know I'm right/have a perfect solution, egos always think they are the best and know it all. That's why "egos" are in the arena while "the men behind the curtain" AKA entrepreneurs cash in.

You can share what you like to share and with that comes certain challenges by people who might not like it. People perceive things differently, For instance, I would look at a whale and say its fat while you might say its beautiful. if people hate., its a reflection of their reality and not yours. You can choose to get caught up in their BS or you can ignore it or you can help them. I prefer to be kind/Humble because I know that somewhere in that persons life something happened that brings up that grief. 

[Gabriel David Gomez]

The more you don't share your success with someone, the more problems you run into. Now, if you find out how to solve those problems, your success is increased. Yet, no one said that the problems you run into will be easy to overcome and develop a  method for. This is why people who find something major sometimes die before they can release their findings... the last problem is one they couldn't overcome themselves. Perhaps the help of others would have helped them in their independent studies. One cannot assume but consider an inference about betrayal and/or loyalty to be only a probable outcome. Assumptions are not fact. Sometimes people need to understand that you need not risk anything to accomplish something. It is a matter of development based on a wise an effective method. This is why the wisdom of the ancient who wrote a verse in the bible said something along the lines of, "... he who embarks on a journey for wisdom without  a wise teacher is foolish..." I said "along the lines of because I'm sure that isn't the exact text.

I notice that only some of the people have a need to share , others have a desire to withhold their knowledge to not share it but hoard it.
I share knowledge with those who like me want to change the world. If its the ego its the ego doing good work.

Do not share anything with anyone, my friend, unless those people are self-actualizers or people who really support you. Oh, Is there in reality REALLY people who would support you?!! Hmmm
