Tera Carissa Hodges: Confidentiality Is Key

This post by Tera Hodges is worthy of repost:

Everything you own should not be in your name. 

You can ask your university (post undergrad universities) to shield your information (degrees obtained) unless they have written consent from YOU with identification. 

There’s a reason a #confidentialmarriagelicense is an option.

A skilled family attorney can guide you on how to shield your children’s sensitive information: birth, names, parent, etc.

The people you are the closest with should never be active on your social media. 

When you realize someone close to you is faltering, don’t cut them off immediately. Feed them what you want them to repeat. It’s not your fault they’re disloyal. Use their disloyalty for your good. The fault is on them because loyalty would of kept their mouth shut. 

Don’t advertise where you work. 

When people ask questions, normalize your most immediate response being: why do you want to know. Then, for every reason they give, ask another question pertaining to why. 

Your life is your business and you have options! 

Once again, the goal is not for PEOPLE to be right about you but for LIFE to go right for you. 

Let them wonder how and why you’re so successful. 

It’s a beautiful thing to see your enemy shooting arrows they mean for you but they don’t come anywhere near you. 

That’s why I don’t post too much personal business on social media because anything you say can & will be used against you. Some people on your page are there to be spies, so they can have something to bring back to so & so. I don’t even add colleagues as friends on my social media for that reason.
