Here is some holy advice from a holy Tzadik, the Kohziglover Rav, the Rosh Yeshiva of Chochmei Lublin, the greatest yeshiva in pre-WWII Europe.

Do you want to be for real? Then you must hide the good and holy things you are doing. Not only from other people, but even from yourself. There are exceptions to this rule. For educational purposes you can tell your children or students to set them on the right path, but other than that the mitzvahs you do are to remain a secret between you and Gd. - David Sacks

“And then there is the Jewish legend that says that just before God puts a soul into the body, one of God’s angels presses the baby’s mouth shut, as a gesture that, during its earthly life, it is to be silent about its divine origins. That little crevice below each person’s nose is the imprint of the angel’s forefinger, sealing your lips - and that is why, when you are trying to remember something, during your ponderings, your own forefinger spontaneously rises and rests in that crevice.”
