One specific facet of your feelings is your desires. Desire is treated as a well-guarded secret in the lives of most people. What you desire, how much you desire it, and why you desire it should not be any mystery at all—not to you, and not to those around you. If your desires aren’t totally obvious to those around you, it’s unlikely you are consistently or sufficiently acting in a way that accords with what you think you want. Hiding what you want from others will also likely limit your ability to get it, since your ability to obtain what you seek will almost always depend on others, to at least some degree. To the extent you do not know or do not divulge what you want, how much you want it, and why you want it, your ability to identify and utilize the people and other resources crucial to achieving your aim will be diminished.
Do, say, and think according to what you really desire, and be open and transparent with others about it:
7 In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
8 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you. (Titus 2)
Don’t lie about what you want for the sake of what others will think or how they might push back. If you believe they are correct, you should upgrade your desires to something better. If you don’t agree with the opinion of others, their opinion shouldn’t matter to you. If you find yourself caring about opinions you don’t agree with, it’s a strong sign that you don’t yet desire what you think you want as much as you need to in order to overcome the obstacles preventing you from getting it. You can either care more about what you say you want or what others think about it—not both.
