Hi Hive,
There was a time in my life when I felt the need to share everything, including every plan, every idea, every little step I was taking. My thought was letting people know would bring more support, encouragement, and maybe even validation. But what I didn’t realize back then was that not every ear that listens truly wishes one well. Not every smile hides good intentions. And not every “I’m happy for you” is really genuine.
I have learned, sometimes the hard way, that some journeys are meant to be travelled silently.
Buying land, for example, is not just a financial decision but it’s a dream taking physical form. It’s the beginning of something deeply personal. But imagine breaking such news too early, before anything is secured, before the foundation is even laid. Unexpectedly, opinions start pouring in. Doubts. Questions. Unnecessary pressure. And sometimes, silent envy started to build up. That same dream that once felt pure begins to feel heavy.
So now, I choose differently and wisely.
I move quietly.
I now plan in silence. I take my steps carefully, away from noise, away from distraction. Because I have realized that peace is a powerful strategy. When you’re not busy explaining yourself to everyone, you have more time to focus, to think, to properly execute your plan.
Building a house is not just about laying bricks and cement but instead it’s about patience, discipline, and vision. And those things grow best in quiet spaces. Not everything needs an audience while it’s still becoming.
And the same thing goes for relationships. Love is beautiful, but it’s can also be very delicate as well. Rushing to announce it to the world before it has fully grown can sometimes expose it to unnecessary or even bad energy. It’s better to nurture it quietly, build it strongly, and when the time is right, celebrate it loudly with those who truly matter.
I have come to understand that silence is not secrecy but it’s protection.
There is strength in not revealing everything and there is wisdom in keeping your plans close to your heart too. Because while you’re quietly working, learning, and building, you are also protecting your dreams from doubt, comparison, and negativity.
And when the results is finally out, when the land is bought, the house is standing, the marriage is sealed, then you celebrate. Not to prove a point, but to share a completed story, not an unfinished chapter.
Life has taught me this simple but powerful lesson that the loudest moves are often made in silence.
So now, when I move, I move quietly.
When I work, I work quietly.
When I build, I build quietly.
Because at the end of the day, results speak louder than words ever could.
