Questions to meditate over
How much do I talk in a conversation?
Is there an intention in what I am sharing with people that doesn’t praise me ?
When was the last time I just listened to someone, not offering solutions?
Thoughts on CONTAINMENT
Man I babble so much sometimes it really must be frustrating for those around me. Always filling the silence, out of fear of it turning awkward. This leads to intensionless chatter, that only pushes away the silence but that’s about it. You basically just waste the time, being afraid of feeling strange. That way you miss a chance to really listen and waste the necessary space for your opposite to blossom. Try to contain yourself more in conversations but don’t shut off your brains. Listen closely instead and ask the right questions and make the honest statements at the right time. This way everyone benefits, you the most.
Every day is a present for you to open and explore. Get curious and never forget, that you are deeply loved and needed in this world. Don’t be afraid to let your light shine and help others with your unique gifts and talents. Remember to have fun along the way.
Have a blessed day and an amazing life!
