6 Things You Should Always Keep a Secret

1. Don’t Share Your Plans with Everyone

Keep silent about your plans until you’ve actually managed to fulfill them. Such plans often have weak spots which you haven’t noticed. Therefore, the chances are that someone could pick them apart quite easily, leading you to become too disheartened to even try to overcome them or achieve them.

2. Don’t Talk About the Intimate Details of Your Lifestyle

It’s not worth bragging about how you’ve gone on a diet, or overcome your habit of sleeping too much in the morning or stopped indulging your appetite for sex. If you’ve given up on worldly pleasures for the sake of spiritual goals, then it makes no sense to talk about this — your emotional condition needs to be harmonious and with such a desire to impress others or receive praise is a sign that it is not.

3. Never Talk About How Heroic You Are

We all come up against various challenges every day — both in the external world and on the inside, in our own minds. Your achievements in dealing with both, should they become known, will be rewarded appropriately. It’s not for you to decide whether they are worthy of recognition — therein lies the lesson.

4. Never Declare How Enlightened You Are

It’s only your interpretation rather than objective truth and the chances are you will only seem condescending to others when you try to convince them that they’re mistaken. Only in very rare cases will someone benefit from your thoughts on this subject. Reveal your knowledge only when those around you need it as well.

5. Never Talk About Conflicts at Home or Family Problems

Always bear in mind: the less you divulge such secrets about your family to others, the stronger it will be. Such things can only ever be resolved within the privacy of your own home between loved ones. The more you complain to others about them the harder they will be to overcome. The less you speak about family conflicts the stronger and more stable it will be.

6. Don’t Bring Up Unpleasant Things You’ve Heard

Just as it’s possible to get your clothes dirty, you can also soil your mind. And the person who recounts all the foolish and awful things he hears or sees going on in the world as soon as he gets home is no different from the one who forgets to take of his shoes when he walks through the door.
