“The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear.”
― Rumi
Modern life is full of noise and constant movement. We are always busy, always engaged with technology, always trying to be productive or entertained. But what if we allowed ourselves to become quiet?
Embracing moments of stillness and silence can lead to a deeper experience of life. To become quiet, we can slow down, disconnect from technology, and let go of the need to be constantly productive or entertained. It allows us to be present with our thoughts and feelings, and to simply experience life as it is.
In the stillness and quiet, we can discover a new way of being alive. It’s in these moments that we can truly listen to what life has to say.
“In stillness, the world is restored.” — Lao Tzu
