Thank you! I appreciate your readership!

If you’re talking about education and self-help techniques, I don’t think that’s a bad thing at all. In fact, that’s a virtuous thing so long as the intent is to help people—which I’m sure it is. I mean, I made Stoicism a part of my brand when I learned about this ancient philosophy and applied it to my own life. I wanted to help others find the freedom I found in it. Just be prepared for the more you’re passionate about a thing, the lonelier it might get... OR you can flip that and say that excitedly sharing this new found life-changing education is how you find your tribe. People come and go and you want the people who stick around to be people that improve your life, make you want to be better. You should be that for others too, no?

So everything in moderation. That’s really what this article is about, moderation—having the self-awareness to not tell everyone every single detail and every event in your life. You don’t need to be the rant-and-rave type (I know a few and they get real preachy) but spread that wisdom! Spread that love! Spread that freedom! If it’s not out of vanity, and it’s truly out of wanting to help people, your intentions are virtuous. Keep your intentions in check, always.
