Move In Silence

M-I-S, so that you won't "miss" your opportunity!

When working on things and creating ideas, we are often excited to share the great news from the mountain tops. Granted, there is nothing wrong with being proud of your works nor is there wrong with wanting to share them with your circle. But we have to be mindful of the idea that not everyone is celebrating with you.

Have you ever had a brilliant idea or exciting new thing happen in your life and you immediately shared it via social media or by word-of-mouth? Remember, how you had one or more persons who said some hurtful things or how when these got hard, you felt too embarrassed to mention it out of fear of more judgment?

We have all experienced this at some point in our lives and it sucks. You should be able to share the news about a new relationship, job opportunity, baby, business idea, etc. But face it, we all have enemies plotting against us in jealousy. 

How do you avoid missing your unique and wonderful opportunities out of fear of failure and/or hatred? It's simple, you M-I-S or moves in silence. What does moving in silence do or look like?

I'll explain... Imagine you're getting a new house and you were so excited about the new house that you began to share the new address with your peers. Unbeknownst to you, someone who doesn't have a house or wishes that they had a bigger and better house might begin getting envious. They might use the information about your new address to plot a robbery against you or withhold their water from you if your house was to catch fire. 

The new house is your new opportunities or blessings ordained for you. The new address that you shared is the plan, project, and idea. The plans for robbery against you are the hate you receive or negative criticism and the water being withheld from you in an emergency is the lack of support when things get rough. 

When you move in silence, you are simply moving into your new home completely (with every box and crate of belongings there with you.) You are avoiding speaking prematurely about your home before you get to move there and set up your home security system. And yes, you must set up your home security system because even after you settle there, people will still plot to rob you. Take heed that your home security system is your boundaries (what you allow or do not allow into your home.)

Brethren, be cautious about whom you share your blessings, not everyone is celebrating with you. Remember, it's better to move in silence than suffer in silence!
