Bringing Out The Quiet Within

By Emmanuel van der Meulen


In this day and age we rush here and there and everywhere. We live hectic lives. We seem to have little time for ourselves and others. We're chasing money. We live for our survival, from one thing to the next. And we get so used to being busy that it's a great effort to be quiet. To relax; to sit still and enjoy the quiet and peacefulness of nature or music or the sun.

Does it have to be this way? No! We can stand back and see what we're doing and navigate our lives down different paths. Taking in our environment. Taking in what comes from inside us and not always looking for external stimulation. Would you want something like this? Quietness: To balance the hecticness?

How do you attain quiet? How do you break the cycle of being caught up in everyday survival? You can of course do this in several ways. You can do this in one fell swoop or you can take it one slow and intentional step at a time.

And what's more it is within the boundaries of your reality to take on a journey considered as your optimal life. This isn't to do with money or what you earn or what you do. It has to do with why you do whatever you do.

A sure way to commence this journey is to cut out all the things that you know you'd prefer not to do. And this is overwhelming. Nevertheless, with the necessary courage this is indeed possible.

The first step however, is yours to take. Nobody can do it for you. And so it is for all further steps. The benefits of such a journey are far reaching and do not ever need to end. Ever. Thus your life can become and continue to be an exploration journey, while you uncover things in your life that don't serve you. These you can drop and thus make discoveries of your preferences, which you can pursue with passion.
