Six Things You Should Never Tell Other People
Have you ever had the feeling that you have shared a lot about yourself and your personality, and in the end it only did you a lot of damage? Wise people, such as Indian spiritual teachers, Chinese sages and North American spiritual leaders, advise that certain things are best kept to themselves as a precious secret and that there are good reasons for that. You should never reveal these things about yourself if you want to attract positive energy:
Far-reaching plans
You should never reveal plans for the future to others until they come true. By talking, you are wasting the energy you need to achieve your goals. Many people have convinced themselves that when they talk a lot about their plans, something always goes wrong. In addition to wasting energy, you open up the possibility for other people to disrupt your plans.
Your asceticism
If you have decided to live a healthier and more peaceful life without the comforts that the modern life provides, do not tell other people about it. You will not find peace of mind if your renunciation is oriented only to the physical aspect. Just because you’ve given up certain things in life doesn’t mean you’re better than others, so don’t even look at it that way.
The good you do
When you do a good deed, there is no need to praise in front of other people. Too much pride destroys the grace and peace of mind you have gained by helping others. Real helpers are rarely heard or known. They help in silence, because it is more important for them to help people, and not to look like a good person in front of others.
Your courage and heroism
There are external and internal challenges of every man. While these external ones are visible to others, internal ones are not. Some people get external challenges and when they pass them, they receive rewards and praise. But there are also internal challenges that no one knows about. Therefore, if you have done something brave to brag about, keep it to yourself. You never know what the other person is struggling with. Maybe he beat something a lot harder, but he doesn’t brag about it.
Family problems
The less you talk about problems your family members are having, the stronger and more stable your family will be. You shouldn’t talk to your friends about them because such problems should be addressed within the family. Try to talk as little as possible about your private family life because there are always individuals who look forward to someone else’s misfortune.
Ugly words and gossip you hear
Refrain from spreading gossip and retelling bad things you have heard about other people. When you hear gossip somewhere and tell it to others, you are no better than the person who told it to you. In addition, it will draw all the positive energy out of you and fill you with negative energy. The more you gossip, the level of negative energy increases and you will eventually feel bad. If you don’t see anything wrong with gossiping, just ask yourself how you would feel if someone said ugly things about you.
