[Video] The 11 Things that You Should Not Share with Anyone and Keep to Yourself

1-Your problems

Some of us are tempted to release our stress and share our problems with others. Instead of carrying the hurt or abuse, it is better to tell it to to Jesus or your God, so that people will never add salt to the wound in future. Your own problems will never be echoed back to you in future because no one knows about it.

2-The Favors you did

This originates from the Bible, Matthew 6:3 (King James Version): But when thou does alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand does. That meaning alluded to the wisdom of not giving oneself credit for providing charity to others – just give and forget about it.

3-Secrets of others

Never be boastful and try to have the upper hand by telling the secrets of others, when they are shared in private. This is not publicity stunt and inform the world of other people’s problems, to make yourself seem superior. That is why God gave us one mouth and two ears to listen. Provide a listening ear, but never share other people’s problems, so that your own problems will also be kept a secret.

4-Inner conflict in family

The teeth and the tongue will grind into each other in close proximity. Hence, inner conflict in family is common and within family members. Never share with anyone your conflict with your family and just keep to yourself by meditating on it. The whole world does not have to know your issues with loved ones.

5-Your weakness

When you go for an interview, never reveal your weakness, such as laziness, et cetera. You want to project the strength and sell yourself. Likewise, you are selling yourself to your spouse, your friends, and others for that longer lasting friendship and to earn their respect. Instead of being looked down upon as weak, you will project strength and reliability to the ones closest to you. After all, respect has to be earned.

6-Your upcoming goals

Another pertinent point is that, never reveal your upcoming goals; lest they will not happen. People tend to sabotage your plans or dissuade you from achieving them, even for well-meaning loved ones. For many obnoxious people, the way they win is to make sure you fail. That’s how they promote themselves at your expense. It is never a teamwork, but rather who climbs the corporate ladder the fastest, wins. In this world, it is, to each himself or herself. They are only looking for their best interests, not yours.

7-Your faith and belief

Keep your faith to yourself and if possible, avoid talking about religion, which is a very sensitive and private matter. Respect other people’s wishes if they are staunched to their religion.

8-Private moment with loved ones

Your private moments with loves ones should not be revealed to anybody. That’s why it is called private. Some people are very nosy and have a tendency to tease you into revealing your private moments with your lover or spouse. Keep it strictly a secret. Don’t kiss and tell. 

9-Your precious belongings

Your valuables should be kept a secret together with your precious belongings. No one should know what you own. This is to prevent future theft and your precious belongings from being taken away from you. Don’t give an opportunity to potential thieves.

10-Your past relationship

You don’t want your present relationship to be affected by the past relationship. Otherwise, your partner will think that you still cannot let go of the previous relationship. Don’t keep harping on it. Let bygones be bygones. It is history. Period!

11-Your financial status

Never reveal your financial status to anyone. That is why your will should be kept a secret, and should only be opened upon your demise. I have seen my own greedy relatives who cannot work, steal and cheat a rich relative of her finances and expensive belongings, since she is single and is suffering from dementia in her advance years.
