Man from I own personal experience about life goals, plans and so on, I truly feel that the best way to do things is by doing them yourself and not relying on others, not even in terms of moral/emotional support, you don't need that, you're strong and motivated enought to grab life by the balls and put yourself on the right trajectory.
From what I've seen people who talk about their plans and make them public, never end up doing anything at all.
For instance for most of last year I worked my ass off as I wanted to save money to leave Europe. I got myself a visa and a plane ticket and by that point the only person who knew about my plan of coming to Australia was me. No one else knew. I didn't share my plans on facebook, I didn't tell my parents nor my friends. I got my visa in january and I bought the ticket in April. I told people I was leaving in the summer, like a month and a half before I actually left(end of August).
Same thing in 2010, I applied for a job in NY, got hired, got a visa, plane ticket and only told my parents after all these things had been arranged. I flew there on a monday and told my mates on the friday that I was leaving, we were down at a pub and I just told look I'm leaving for the US in two days.
I am absolutely certain that if I had wasted time looking for people's approval, wanting their attention or support, I would have never done a fucking thing in my life. I honestly think that talking about your plans brings bad luck(I'm very superstitious), I never tell anything unless it's all already sorted out and I have my suitcases by the door.
Obviously failure is always a possibility, for instance my Aus expedition hasn't turned out as well as I expected and by January I'm likely to be back living with my folks, skint and looking for a job. But guess what, fuck it, if you never try you can never fail. I couldn't care less if people back home mock me for coming back, or for failing to get a good job down here, they're fuck-heads who have barely left their hometown in all their lives anyway.
It's better to try and fail than to do nothing at all.
Good luck man
