In the midst of all the noise we’re constantly bombarded with – media noise, political noise, urban activity noise, emotional noise, people continually talking noise, inner voice noise – I seek refuge in silence. Because silence is golden.

Definitions of golden include: exceptionally valuable; full of happiness; prosperity or vigor; radiant; destined for success. In the midst of turmoil, I seek silence.

Becoming silent requires you to be still first. Stillness is the absence of motion. When the wind and waves of life seem as if they’re overtaking you, command peace and stillness. The power is within you.

There’s salvation in the silence. Becoming still and silent saves you; protects you from the harmful words and thoughts being circulated all around you. There’s safety in silence.

Silence is solitude. Unfrequented, remote, secluded, and sometimes lonely. You may have to sacrifice for silence. Leave some things or people behind…for awhile…forever. When you surrender for silence you’ll receive solace. Solace – relief and comfort from distress, and troubles. Silence is soothing.

Become still, focus only on your breath, stay silent. You’ll return full of happiness; vigorous; radiant; destined for success; valuable. Why? Because there are divine solutions in the silence. Silence puts doubts and fears to rest. I believe fear is the opposite of love. You’ll find love in silence.

I encourage you to take a day, an hour – whatever you can – take a break regularly from all the external and internal noise to help you recharge and rejuvenate. We have some challenges and opportunities ahead of us, I’m bringing my ‘A’ game and I need you to bring yours as well.

Lao Tsu says, “Silence is a source of great strength.” We’re all in this race –  the human race, together and together,  we can win.

Love,

Robin ❤️

“…silence is pure. Silence is holy. It draws people together because only those who are comfortable with each other can sit without speaking. This is the great paradox.” ~ Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook
