I never found the stillness, nor the silence, to be empty, frightening, in fact, it’s always filled with answers, ideas and directions. The more stillness I’ve invited, the more I’ve realised its profoundness.

Redirecting our focus inwards, allows us to tap into the vastness and limitlessness that resides within us.

People are so familiar with noise, distractions, sounds, interruptions and opinions, that silence has become rare, and sometimes even disturbing.

Silence is a powerful tool because people don’t expect silence. People expect argument, disturbance, debate, and they seek every opportunity to be right, to have the final word.

Make them uncomfortable, hence, let them become aware, before they act.

Become aware of the peacefulness that surrounds the moment.

To master silence is to master your voice, it’s to master your surroundings and it’s to master yourself. Make space for silence, and you’ll make space for sensational thoughts to enter.

Whenever I want to gain some new inspiration, and allow new thoughts to enter, I free write. It can be about absolutely anything. It can start from a word that I like, from a song, from a conversation I overheard at the coffee shop or from nature. It can grow from anything. More often than not, it grows from silence.

By inviting and befriending silence, you create space for new ideas to enter. Let the silence speak to you, and know, it always has something to tell.
