Be careful who you share good news with from "summary" of 12 Rules for Life by Jordan B. Peterson
When you're bursting with good news, it's natural to want to share it with others. However, not everyone will be genuinely happy for your success. Some people may even feel resentment or envy towards you, leading them to react negatively to your good news. This can be a hard pill to swallow, as you may expect your friends and loved ones to share in your joy wholeheartedly. But the truth is, not everyone has your best interests at heart. Some people may see your success as a threat to their own self-esteem or position in life. They may try to downplay your achievements or find ways to undermine your happiness. This can be a painful realization, especially if you considered these individuals to be close to you. It's important to be discerning about who you choose to share your good news with. Look for people who genuinely care about you and want to see you succeed. These are the people who will celebrate your victories with you, offer support and encouragement, and be there for you through thick and thin. Surround yourself with those who lift you up, rather than bring you down. At the same time, be mindful of how you share your good news. Avoid bragging or rubbing your success in others' faces. Instead, share your achievements with humility and gratitude. This will help you maintain positive relationships and avoid stirring up negative emotions in others. Remember, true friends will be happy for your success, while others may reveal their true colors when faced with your good fortune.
