When we don’t decide, we erase all future possibilities. ––the Wealthy Gardener
How can we explain why competent people endure troubles instead of choosing to change? Why do smart people stay at thankless jobs? Why do they accept the conditions they complain about in life?
Nobody decides to be unfulfilled. Instead, people decide nothing at all. And when they don’t decide, they go with the drift of events.
Agnes de Mille said, “No trumpets sound when the important decisions of our life are made. Destiny is made known silently.”
In silent moments, we get in touch with the subtle feelings that signal the winds of change. In stillness, we sense the defining moments that otherwise may be missed in our busy days.
“To make the right choices in life,” said Deepak Chopra, “you have to get in touch with your soul. To do this, you need to experience solitude . . . because in the silence you hear the truth and know the solutions.”
In silence, we hear our inner voice.
“There is a time when we must firmly choose the course we will follow,” said Herbert Prochnow, “or the relentless drift of events will make the decision for us.” Be still, be silent, and choose life.
