CHOOSE SILENCE

When we choose silence, we are taking this simple idea and expanding it to something bigger that describes a process within us. When we choose silence, we make a deliberate choice to be still and quiet. To choose silence is to be quiet with intent. Silence becomes a way of being and silence can be understood as an inner stillness that is aware. This choice and intent creates a space to ‘be', a space and time to rest. The space and time to rest allows us to regain our perspective and reconnect with who we really are and who we want to be... These are not new ideas but always worth repeating. We must be honest with ourselves about who we are and how we are doing. We must also be grateful for the good we have been given but also optimistic, even in the darkest moments, that we can find a way to a better situation. Fundamental to both of these ideas is that even when life seems to present feedback entirely to the contrary, we always have the opportunity to make a choice for something..
