Digital instant communication has eroded the value of good news that we receive about ourselves. When we get good news, we feel great, and the first thing many of us want ti do is text our significant other or someone else that has an interest in our life, usually, if you examine the intention deeply, in an effort to gain validation from them. When we immediately get that good news; I’m talking the immediate moment that you get that good news—you get that email, you finished that phone call, you get that payment—immediately when that feeling hits, we immediately think about who we can share with. But that in-the-moment sharing dilutes it for ourselves because we're proxying something that is already valid onto someone else for validation, and oftentimes they don't validate it to the level we already validated it for ourselves, which leaves us feeling let down, and the good news feeling is gone. We need to hold on to that isolated, personal good-news moment for longer. Broadly: we need to not instantly communicate more. Instant communication should be as valuable as the Star Trek Enterprise instantly communicating to Earth; they only do it when absolutely necessary. Otherwise, hold onto it for yourself because it can wait, and I guarantee that sitting with that good news alone and waiting to share it with someone when they are naturally available—when you have actually crossed paths—that feels good, that feels real, that feels better, and it doesn't leak or diminish the positive energy you just generated on your own.
