Conversations with silence: The power of Solitude

One thing we rarely do is stop talking and listen to ourselves. We get engaged with a lot of things to say that we rarely spare time to listen to. There's power in quiet moments that only a few who practice it know, while many still wonder why people spend time in meditation. Whenever I have a lot going for me or have a complex problem to solve, one thing I do is to take a quiet moment and listen to myself instead of talking. Solitude helps us explore the depth of ourselves and give us sincere feedback to what is a burden to us.

A conversation with silence occurs between you and your inner self. You take a moment to somewhere quiet and sit down as you dialogue with your inner self without saying a thing, instead listening to you speak to yourself. It's often a moment of truth, you lay down your guard and pour out your weaknesses and the pretense and you listen to yourself speak. It's in such a moment we are most sincere as we seek for answers to what bothers us.

There's power in solitude. It's a moment we get to know ourselves better. Amidst the desire to be someone else and the desire to feel relevant, solitude cubs the noises and teaches us who we truly are. In solitude, we find reasons to accept ourselves for who we are, and give us peace we can't find while distracted trying to talk. A friend once told me, the best way to understand anything in life is to listen instead of talking and that's why it's difficult maintaining a relationship, because everyone wants to talk but no one is ready to listen. Sometimes stop talking, and listen to yourself in solitude.
