Stop Announcing
Put down your trumpet.
Cease clapping your hands to your own beat.
Let the braggart be silent.
Don’t share your plans
Why?
Your plans are susceptible to chaos, the natural order or the fact that you may sleep through your alarm clock.
Hush. Please don’t tout your prowess.
There’s always someone better than you.
There’s always someone more talented.
Endurance and Humility
What makes quality rise to the top is its endurance and the blessing of humility, which allows other people to lift it up instead of needing to put it down because it’s pompous and arrogant.
And please, for the love of God:
Stop proclaiming your purpose
Your purpose should be obvious as the fruit of your work. Telling people what you intended to do does not qualify for actually doing it.
If you simply stop announcing your great battleplan for your life, then you will be able to acknowledge the small victories instead of having to win every single conflict to prove your point.
