I don’t know, why, but I was waiting for an article already yesterday. 😃 Good to have it now on my long journey to yet another doc appointment.

Sharing plans with others, imo, is a tricky thing to do. Even in a written form. Unless you keep a some sort of diary or journal, or the digital one no one knows about. People can’t stand the success of others, tho, they smile in your face, therefore, it’s like giving them a slice of a cake on the way to your failure. On the other hand, everyone wants and needs the support, it’s normal, it’s just somehow we have to figure out with whom to share these plans. As there might be people sharpening the daggers behind their backs, and there also might be ones that actually might be helpful, or, at least, who’d be genuinely wishing you best of luck.

So… manifesting the plans are nice and important, so, one convinces themselves that it can become a reality, and believes in that, however, one must be careful with whom they share their plans. It’s probably a matter of a good intuition and also actual life experience.

I have heard that talking about a project too soon releases 'pre-mature' dopamine thus diminishing any interest to actually complete the project. To a certain extent this is true for me, but I also love a certain amount of sharing with close contacts who are going to support and nourish the idea. I'm hungry for that kind of enthusiasm from people.

Nathan, over the years, I may have heard or read snippets of what you have articulated here, but never as cogently as this. I think I may never forget it. Thank you for this insight.
