Why You Shouldn’t Share Your Dreams With Everyone
Protecting your dreams from negative influences is one of the most important success strategies you’ll ever learn. As 2025 moves along quickly, staying committed to your goals means being careful about who you allow to speak into your life. Words carry powerful energy that can either fuel your ambitions or destroy them before they take flight. Your dreams are precious and sacred to you; you’ve envisioned accomplishing them because the power to do so already lies within you. However, sharing your vision with the wrong people can destabilise your dreams before they even have a chance to grow.
The things we say, think and allow to enter our system via the spoken word shape our realities in extremely tangible and lasting ways. Your dreams are not accidental. You’ve seen yourself accomplishing those particular feats because the power to do so lies within you (it always has). You wouldn’t have been given a seed to plant if you didn’t possess the savoir-faire to bring it to fruition.
Oftentimes, when we share our dreams with others, we decelerate their progress. We cut their wings before they can even fly. And this is irrespective of whether the person has your best interests at heart or not. The good thing about an Opp is that you know they’re an Opp, so logic would dictate that you should not even engage. Also, know that some of your “friends” and “family” are indeed OPPS. But it’s not only your opps, you have to watch out for! You have to understand that even those who love and cherish you the most have the potential to deflate your ambitions.
You have the potential to dream dreams so big that even those closest to you will doubt your capabilities or their likelihood of manifesting, given the odds. And it’s not even coming from a mean or malevolent place, but rather one of concern or most times, a projection of their own limiting beliefs and perceptions around achievements and what is possible. When you approach them with your bright ideas, be guided and discerning. If you’re especially susceptible to the opinions and thoughts of others, you just might want to hold that vision to yourself.
Sharing Your Dreams Prematurely Can Debilitate Them. Hold Some Things to Your Chest.
Not every goal or dream that you have for yourself needs to be shared with anyone outside of yourself. So many people’s dreams die the minute they leave their mouths and reverberate in someone else’s mind. In my earlier years, I remember internalising the viewpoints and opinions that people cast on my ambitions whenever I’d share them. Oftentimes, it made me rethink, reassess, and sometimes even forego what I’d seen as possible. Over the years, I’ve learnt to be more keen on keeping my mouth shut and only choosing to share with the FEW close confidants that are capable of holding the necessary space for me.
Beyond that, it is also imperative that you expand your parasocial network and find people on the same mission as you wherever they may exist in the world. I can guarantee you that there’s an online community for almost every interest area you can think of. Associate directly (groups, meetups, conferences, etc.) and indirectly (podcasts, YouTube videos, blogs, etc.) with individuals who share your goals. If you can’t readily find it IRL (IRL = “in real life” for my mature readers 😉), seek out community online. It’s hard to materialise realities that you haven’t seen just yet. Take advantage of the opportunity to find and commune with those who just get your vibe. You will never have to translate your essence and ambitions when you’re amongst your TRIBE. Those who get it, GET IT. And it’s that simple.
So, as you move forward this week, understand that it’s your prerogative to guard your dreams and goals from those who will only seek to destroy them. If you need to seek advice, SEEK WISE COUNSEL. If they haven’t been where you’re intending to go or have threaded a similar path, chances are you’re in for a heaping serving of projections, naysaying and misaligned intentions. Objective counsel is great to have, but the credentials of the MESSENGER matter. If you don’t want to be in their shoes, exercise your discernment when they speak and don’t internalise what doesn’t align.
Furthermore, you ought to take what everyone says with a grain of salt. Not everyone who’s been where you’re trying to go also wants you to get there. Beware of SCARCE and GREEDY minds and people whose sole intention is to kill your dreams. They exist IRL and online and are more common than you’d think. Trust your instincts and trust yourself above all. You will always be your greatest cheerleader and confidant. Whatever you put your mind to, you can achieve. Your greatest limit will always be your MIND.
