Silence vs Wisdom

Pure wisdom comes when one learns to listen to the unspoken words!

For some it is very hard to actually sit in silence, to be alone and actually enjoy it! But there are a rare few who can sit for hours in silence, with maybe the occasional bark of a dog, ring of a phone or whatever sound that just happens to sneak its way into the silence, and those who can actually say that they enjoy their own company that they don't always feel the need to run out and be around their friends. For those, I salute you.

But for many it is hard to actually listen to nothing, to hear silence, to sit and enjoy being with them, but one should learn this fine art for when one does they learn what path to choose, for they have learned to listen to that inner voice the one that gets muffled by the sounds of every day life.

For when a person listens, not with the naked ear, but with every inch of their being, they are able to make choices that benefit them and those around them, they learn that once a path is chosen one does not necessarily need to stay with that path for there are many roads within one path that one can roam that will lead them to the outcome. If you allow yourself to listen to the universe, which we are all connected to, you can feel the greater flow of energy that vibrates around and within each of us every minute of every day. With this energy anything can be obtained, with this silence all questions have answers.

Fine a time each day to sit in silence, find time to be your center, your friend. For one cannot ever be completely happy if one does not like themselves.

Always keep in mind that silence does not always mean without sound, silence can be obtained within once a person learns to settle the mind and listen to the universe and the inner being, anything can happen once a person feels secure and strong.
