TRADITIONAL TEACHING. THE MOUTH THAT TALKS TOO MUCH.
TRADITIONAL TEACHING. THE MOUTH THAT TALKS TOO MUCH.
Our elders say, The mouth that tells all his plans will eat shame.
Our forefathers did not announce their seed before planting. They planted in silence, then danced when the yam grew big.
But today, Someone just thinks of business, he has posted it. Someone is just 2 weeks pregnant, she has told the whole street. Someone wants to travel, he has told even his enemies the date.
Then when it scatters, they say village people did me. No. Your own mouth did you.
Hear this truth. Not everyone smiling with you wants you to rise. Some are listening just to block. Jealous eye is real. The moment you speak too early, you give your unborn blessing to those who will pray against it.
Even our elders, when they want to do something big, they first whisper it to the ancestors at night, not to humans in the day.
THE SIGNS YOUR MOUTH HAS BETRAYED YOU BEFORE.
You tell people your plan and suddenly the plan dies, You feel heavy and regret immediately after telling someone, People start acting strange towards you after you shared good news
THE SOLUTION. THE TRADITION OF QUIET PLANTING
- Seal your mouth. When a good idea or blessing comes, first thank the ancestors quietly. Say in your heart My plans are seed in the ground. Let them grow before men see them.
- Test before you trust. Do not tell your full plan to anyone. If you must seek advice, speak half, keep half.
- Do the night whisper. Before bed, speak your plan to your chi/ancestors alone. Witness me, guide me, cover my seed from evil eyes. 4. Testify after, not before. Let people see the result first. Then your testimony will shame jealousy.
Remember. A silent pot cooks the sweetest soup.
Tell me truth in the comments.
Have you ever told your plans too early and it scattered, What happened
