Sit alone with good news for an hour before you tell anyone. Feel what it means to you before you see what it means to them.

The moment you tell somebody, the news starts belonging partly to them. Their reaction becomes what you remember, and if it is flat you will spend the evening managing that. Before that, there is a window where the thing is only yours, and the size it feels then is the honest size.

Next time something good lands, hold it for an hour. Walk, sit, reread the message, let yourself feel whatever you feel without an audience. Then tell people, which is also good, and you will already know what it meant to you.
