This world, even though it depends on truth, still needs balance. Some truth it’s better kept unspoken!
That’s why, some of the wisest people that ever lived warn us to keep our mouths shut about certain things.
Here are the 7 things you should keep only for yourself!
1. Family problems
What happens inside your family, the moments you share with your significant other, your private life, all that should remain private.
You should have consideration about other people’s privacy. The details you know about your family members and your partner, you know them for a reason. You are close to them.
Others who might be close to you, are not close to them. Don’t break these “walls” without their permission. It’s like borrowing a toy from a person who trusts you and giving that toy to someone else to play with it. It’s not your toy to give.
2. Enlightenment
Everybody seeks enlightenment and reprieve in different places. Some people turn to meditation and mindfulness, whereas others turn to religion. Whatever your choice is, avoid forcing it on anybody else. Do not turn into one of those people that shout on the streets about how their version of religion is the right one.
3. Good deeds
Good deeds often attract good karma. Therefore, you shouldn’t be discouraged from doing good deeds. But, in case you begin to brag about it, it may take on a whole different perspective. When you brag about something good that you have done, you are actually making it all about yourself.
4. Your income
Only a group of people needs to know the details of your income: those that work in your bank. Keep in mind that money isn’t a good subject to talk about in public. When your financial situation becomes public knowledge, others may begin to look at you in a different way.
5. Future goals
There’s science behind the fact that you are more likely to accomplish your long-term goals in case you avoid sharing them with other people. If you tell them about your future aspirations, you feel as though the enjoyment of achieving the goals has been taken from you. That’s why you do not work as hard towards it. But, in case you keep your goals to yourself, you have a higher chance of accomplishing them.
6. Material possessions
Many things in life are more important than their cost. However, sometimes, you cannot help but brag about the new phone or the new house you just bought. If you talk about it often, it may make you come off as arrogant or even obsessed with the monetary value of things instead of their importance. Modesty is an amazing trait you can have. So, try to spread it throughout your conversations.
7. Past resentments
Past is past. Let go of it, it just weighs you down.
You should express your thoughts and feelings while something is happening.
But if you miss that opportunity, there is nothing else to do afterwards except letting go. Otherwise, you will always be one step behind, never being in the moment where you can actually make a difference.
