In this modern world, we rush around all day, doing things, talking, emailing, sending and reading messages. We are always on, always connected, always thinking, always talking. There is no 16 for stillness.
And when we are 17 to be still because we’re in line for something, or waiting at a doctor’s appointment, or on a bus or train, we often 18 something to do. Some will play with mobile devices, others will read something. Being still isn’t something we’re 19 .
This es at a 20 : we lose that time for 21 , for observing and listening. We lose peace.
And 22 yet: sometimes too much action is worse than no action at all. You can run around crazily, but get 23 done.
Take a moment to think about 24 you spend your days. Are you constantly rushing around? Are you constantly reading and answering 25 , checking on the news and the latest stream of information? Are you always 26 through your schedule?
Is this how you want to spend your 27 ? If so, peace be with you. If not, take a moment to be 28 . Don’t think about what you have to do, or what you’ve done already. 29 be in the moment.
Then after a minute or two of doing that, consider your life, and how you’d 30 it to be. See your life with less movement, less doing, less rushing. See it with more stillness, more consideration, more 31 .
Then be that vision.
It’s pretty simple: all you have to do is sit still for a little bit each day. 32 you’ve gotten used to that, try doing less each day. Breathe when you feel yourself moving too 33 . Slow down. Be present. Find happiness now, in this moment, instead of 34 for it.
35 the stillness. It’s a treasure, and it’s available to us, always.
