There are times when I want to shout from the rooftops when I’ve accomplished something or made a huge stride in my career. Other times, though, these shouts are kept to myself because they create negative feelings. Even though, for the most part, the response is positive . . . there are a few negative pokers who will sling a jealous comment or two to take away from the feelings of excitement.
So, what do I do? Do I keep these good news announcements to myself, or do I keep jumping for joy and sharing my excitement with the writing community?
Honestly, there are always going to be negative people encountered both online and offline. We can’t avoid them, but we can deal with them. Stifling our enthusiasm, excitement, or happiness is not a healthy way of dealing with someone who can’t handle hearing good news. So, I’ll continue sharing news, being excited, and being proud of the strides I’m single-handedly making in my freelance writing career.
What do you do? Do you keep your news to yourself, or do you continue sharing despite any negative comments you may hear or receive?

Writer's Notes
I don't believe we should let a few negative people keep us from sharing our good news with those who wish us well. That's what the Comment Delete button is for!
Best wishes for your success!
