As a kid, my mother being proud of me and bragging about my achievements which aren’t really that much has enhanced my preacher personality, i’m not at fault but i’m definitely accountable on what i’m going to do about it. I can’t seem to avoid misguiding my process by sharing with everyone all it is i’m doing.
My father would put it into simple words: »Just do it and don’t say shit». But I was always driven by my mothers pride and felt more energetic by letting others know what it is I’m doing. It’s funny because when we do have hardships we have a hard time sharing them. But the good is always present for us to brag about.
This also accounts for our personal journey. We blind ourselves into thinking we’re the smartest in the room. Arrogance consumes us if we allow it to and we begin telling others how to live their life without having actually repaired our own (because we never will).
That’s why success is for the humble, at least until you reach results you’ve gotta remain low key, behind the curtains if you will. If you really want it, you’ve gotta not look for anyone’s approval and I guess that’s my lesson to self of the day, just modyfing a bit of my fathers words: »Shut the fuck up and get to work».
