Be Still

Consider that when we embrace solitude…

  • We intentionally remove the influence of others for period of time.
  • We intentionally remove the expectations of others.
  • We are able to hear our own heart speak.
  • We find rest and refreshment.
  • We discover that others can live without us.
  • We find that the world does not rest on our shoulders.
  • We can adequately reflect on our past and chart our future.
  • We break the cycle of busyness in our lives.
  • We become better equipped to show patience with others.
  • We feed our souls.

Some interesting encouragements from Joshua Becker. No, I don't agree entirely with all he shares, but there is much to ponder among his thoughts.

It's kinda like pushing the 'reset' button. I sure like thinking of all these things. :-)
