Silence is GOLDEN

Somthing to think about....

We live in a world that supports a tennis-volley-approach to conversation: 'You say something, and quickly, I say something next.' This happens almost without pause or without us taking a breath. It happens with a husband and wife, a child & their parents & a boss & employee.

We are all guilty of formulating what we are going to say next, even before the person speaking stops sharing their thoughts. We are often so busy formulating responses that we neglect to really take the time and listen to what the person is saying. Most times we become inundated with our own thoughts, removing ourselves from having a listening ear,leading to banter back and forth.

What do you think would happen if we just said nothing? What if the words you did not speak were more powerful than the words you did speak? What if we all got comfortable with being still. If we weren't afraid of silence. How different would our lives be? Imagine taking the time to just stand and be still in the silence providing golden quiet moments that provide clarity & wisdom to last a lifetime.

Did you know that quiet moments provide the ideal environment for growth and insight? Silence is where some of our best growth happens and when some of our best insights appear that would have otherwise been missed during our chatter back and forth.

Without having to work very hard and by just settling into the silence, the quietness of the moment, you can suddenly leap into a new frame of mind.

Silence is Golden even the "silent words" you say to yourself. They are extremely powerful.

Today, Realize that Speech is Silver & Silence is Golden. Turn your silence into gold!

Be Blessed, Be Encouraged & Be a Blessing!
