Silence is golden

I think silence is now misunderstood and underrated these days. Sometimes what a situation needs is silence. Sometimes what we need to make a choice or a decision is some silence. In a world where everything is so fast paced and there’s so much information at our fingertips, it is important to take time out for ourselves to remind ourselves of what is important to us.

In some situations, particularly with people, what the situation needs is some silence and retrospection but many times we’re quick to act and react, which causes more damage than good.

Try to make this a habit, take out time every day to sit in silence for a few minutes. Before making an important decision or choice, take some time to just sit still and be silent. Take a time out from certain relationships to reevaluate the situation before acting. You’ll be surprised by how much good it will do.
