A quote from
Do Not Share Your Goals at AlexShalman.com/blog this might be up your ally.
Quote:
The obvious downside of these comments is that they suck away your motivation. Sure, you may say you are not affected by what other people say and that hearing negative, pessimistic remarks does not affect you. You may not even realize it but being constantly scrutinized will subconsciously weaken the commitments that you made to your goals.
The majority of people will sink when relentlessly facing social bombardment. The few will be fueled by it and work harder in order to prove themselves. Regardless of your immediate reaction you are exposing yourself to other people’s viewpoints and thus at risk for adopting them. If you aren’t adopting the winning mentality than you’re not doing everything you can in your journey of personal development on the road towards success.
