The degree to which a role model uses their platform to spread disempowering beliefs is the extent to which their idolizers will be lead away from success and fulfillment.
If you truly care you would share what you know best: the principles and behaviors that worked for you.

If you teach people to focus on the past, what’s out of their control, and what they don’t have (yet) you set a context of suffering without showing the way out.

Worse: your life shows clearly that success is possible. That people can be authentic and achieve their dreams. All while you set fire to the bridge that got you there.
This sets up an immense contradiction in people by dangling opportunity and hiding it in the next breath.

Confirmed.
Disagreements between individuals don’t need to mean dissolution of friendship and respect.
Disagreements between groups don’t need to mean dissolution of society.
It’s in the uncomfortable that we learn of the world, others, and ourselves.
