Don't Talk...Just Listen

Tuesday, August 31, 2010

More than just the lyrics of a song, more than what we need on a regular basis. It is also more than tough to carry out. Each day as we pass through life we wander through checking off lists and affirming requirements and duties. No blame on those who use this as fuel to keep moving forward, to keep the mind clear of useless clutter.

Take time though, to stop and listen. Drive with windows down, walk with earbuds out, eat without the accompaniment of sound.

It may be that you hear the birds chirp a greeting of good morning through your moonroof, or that you feel the complete breeze as it cools you and hear the rustle of the leaves on the trees. You may even hear your thoughts grow quieter because they are no longer being restlessly silenced by an inward flow of distraction.

Hearing yourself is a gateway into knowing who you are. It takes that first step to listen to find direction, peace and meaning.

When we are clear about our thoughts, no matter how inspiring, daunting or hurtful they may seem...use that information to inform your decisions, fuel your passions and defeat the illusions that have shaped your fears and reclaim them as strengths.

~Hasta Pronto.
