You may have been keeping your motives secret until you felt more confident, which may have you feeling shrewd and clever today. This can be a benefit whether your motives are positive or not. If your motives are less than pure, keeping them to yourself may keep them from becoming real and can give you time to reconsider. Even thoughts spoken aloud or written become real, because they take on weight and meaning in the world. Words harshly spoken can return to have a negative effect on you. Keeping positive motives close is also a wise plan, because your confidence affects how you present your plan to the world. Keeping your plans to yourself allows you to nurture them until they are strong enough to face the world and its mixture of thoughts and feelings. By keeping your thoughts to yourself until you are sure of them today, you make sure that your word is meaningful and powerful in the world.

We consciously create our world by restricting the thoughts we bring into reality. We can choose to not engage in gossip or complaints or to curse anything that occurs. Instead, we can accept it, seek the good in it, and only speak positively. When we practice reviewing our thoughts in the light of our intuition, we choose to be conscious rather than careless. This allows us to avoid hurting others\' feelings, mistakenly sharing confidences, or creating misunderstandings. By thinking before sharing your thoughts and plans today, you create a world in which your word has positive power and earns respect.
