I was reminded once again this last weekend of the power of stillness. There is, no doubt, power in this deliberate choice. There is clarity as well. It would also seem that there is a sense of freedom.
The liberation of breaking free from the chaos and white noise in the world around us as well as in our own heads. An intentional choice to not allow the distractions of life to derail our minds from what is truly important – the stillness within.
The go go go is not an efficient model of success. Not in any field. However, reflection, planning, quiet and intentional steps forward can be. With an honest assessment of the result in order to adjust our compass along the way.
We’re more comfortable with the movement, the distractions and the noise, but stillness is where all the work gets done.
