Something I wasn't proud of recently

I did something recently that I wasn't proud of when I came to think of it later. 

I told someone about someone else's personal plan which I had no business in doing so. It didn't hurt the person with the information that I revealed, but it also didn't benefit the person I told it to, and neither do I.

It was just like any other conversation I have every day when I did it, it excited me, and gave me something that feels fun to do at the moment. But after coming home, I felt uneasy about it and couldn't explain to myself why.

Then I came across this beautiful sharing by Radhi and it struck me by the heart.

This is your reminder that you don't need to pass on that information about somebody else that your friend told you or sister told you or your mom told you or your next-door neighbor told you. Sometimes it's better not to pass on information about other people. 

Think about whether it's beneficial to you to the person you're about to tell or the person that this information is about, and if it's not beneficial for either of you or any of you then it's probably not a wise decision to pass it on.

Sometimes I know I end up sharing things to distract myself from myself, to make myself feel a little bit better, or just to have a little chat or gossip. And if it is one of those 3 reasons it's probably best not to pass it along.

So next time you hear some gossip next time you read something in the newspaper about someone, even if it's about someone that you don't know, think about whether you need to be thinking about it and whether the person you're about to tell needs to be hearing about it.

This is new learning about myself and what I value, Radhi made it clearer for me to see through.
