The world is so noisy with its dramas, tragedies and immediate need for attention. It’s easy to get lured by it and then forget you can only do so much on the outside. Real answers and solutions come from deep within.
We’re frantic if we missed the latest newscast or political commentary, but we miss a lot more when we lose connection from ourselves.
It’s why I’ve committed to spending at least five minutes a day in silence. There may not always be easy answers, but sometimes quiet is it’s own balm. Silence calms our need to know.
Silence is a good thing unless it’s being used by someone else to control you.
