Reasons Why you should never tell people your personal Goals

source

According to Newton's 3rd Law of motion, it states that "to every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction". This is why there can be a hinderance as one tries to climb up a high mountain. So on the course of one's pursuit in life, there is always an equal and opposite reactive force acting in such a way to oppose the motion because a signal of motion has been sensed ahead of time. So as the going gets more tougher than expected, one might suddenly give room to doubts and uncertainties which can likely result to the forfeiting of his predetermined goal.

There's a reason to every situations in life be it positive or negative. Man is created by default to succeed and flourish on Earth. We are expected to be goal-oriented. Despite this, there are forces within our neighborhood or out that places a norcebo effect in such a way that makes the fulfilment of one's goal extremely difficult, owing to the fact that One has shared his/her future goal to a third parties which can be a folk or an stranger.

To this effect, I'll like to state some reasons why you must never tell someone your goals. This might looks strange to some people but it's better to know about this and be on safer side to avoid the stress of uncertainties later in your course of pursuit.
Below are some reasons why you should never tell people your goal;

1. Getting negative feedback could stop you if you're a beginner.

Yes, that is true because what ever people keep telling you might end up becoming your story if appropriate care and consciousness is not taken. Not every good person is expected to know what is going on in your life and your projected plans and goals. It's more safe to keep it to yourself because they might have a negative feedback that might later have a negative effect in your life and deter you of achieving your planned goes.

2. Being praised always could decrease your motivation

It's always a good thing when a youngster said he/she wanna become a medical doctor or Lawyer in the nearest future, but it becomes another situation when such a child is been praised at all time in relation to his/her future ambitions. If such situation keeps repeating itself, there will be a tendency thatsuch a child might likely not attain that educational goal. Morealso, if your goal is closely tied to your identity, it might be best to keep it to yourself. This way, premature praise won’t fool you into feeling like you’ve already achieved your aim.

3. Accountability doesn’t always work.

When you're committed to a course in life with a desirable expectations at the longrun, and later keep realizing that you're not meeting up to your expectations, this is a red sign that a force is deterring you from acheiving your desired results due to the fact that you've shared your plans or goals with the wrong person or set of people in your life. In order to be result driven and accountable, it's most likely you never let any third party to hear your goals.

4. Hearing about competition might make you back off.

Someone who knows your goal and capacity might never want you to attain it either due to envy or an unforseen reason. The person might be interested in acheiving your goal and making you feel less to achieve it. So there's no need to let such person know what's in your mind.
