The morning is enormously important. It’s the foundation from which the day is built. How you choose to spend your morning can be used to predict what kind of day you’re going to have.When people who seem stressed and overwhelmed come to us and ask, “What should I do next?” we often start with the same simple suggestion:It’s time to “ … ”That blank space denoted by “ … ” is no mistake.
That space represents silence.Silence is soothing. Silence is peace. Silence is divine.The more silent you are, the more you can hear yourself think, and the more you can help yourself heal.
Somewhere deep inside, you already know this is true. Think for a moment…Have you ever heard the silence just before the sun peaks over the horizon?
Or the hush of a country road at sunset? Or the peaceful calm just after a heavy rainstorm ends? Or perhaps you know the silence in the back of your local city library, or the eager pause of an auditorium full of people when the lights dim for the main event, or, best of all, the moment just after the front door shuts and you suddenly have the whole house to yourself?Each silent moment is different, yet all are beautiful if you listen carefully.
