“Keep it secret. Keep it safe.”

In that famous line from “The Fellowship of the Ring”, Gandalf strictly advises Frodo to hide the Ring of Power and not mention its existence in order to keep it safe from enemies.

Isn’t this how many of us live our lives? Keeping our own power hidden in order to stay safe from failure or embarrassment.

The irony is that if you truly understood this power, you’d realize there is no point in hiding it from the world.
