When it comes to communication, if you don’t have anything important to say, just listen to what others are saying. You learn more when you listen.

Why silence is important.

Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves together; that at length they may emerge, full-formed and majestic, into the daylight of life, which they are thenceforth to rule.”- Thomas Carlyle

“Timely silence, then, is precious, for it is nothing less than the mother of the wisest thoughts.“- Diadochos of Photiki

“Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking. Live in silence.”- Rumi

“Silence is the perfect herald of joy: I were but little happy, if I could say how much.”- William Shakespeare

“The things you do not have to say make you rich.”– William Stafford

“Silence gives consent.”– Pope Boniface

“He sees only night, and hears only silence.”- Jacques Delille

“The silence of the people is a lesson for kinds.”- Soanen, Bishop of Senax

Why You Should Have A True Friend

We can’t live without others. And others can’t live without us. We need them in our lives. They need us in their lives. But it is important to know who you are inviting into your life. Don’t bring everybody into your life. Because you cannot be a friend to everybody. If you are a friend to everybody, then you are not a friend to your soul. Because you cannot make everybody happy. Do not even try to do it. It is not going to work.

You need a true friend. But if you can’t find a good friend, then be a true friend to yourself. Love yourself. Be your own best friend. Because if you cannot be your own best friend, no one can be your best friend. Your best friend lives within you. Your best friend is you, your soul, your heart.

Your true friend will always be there for you, will not judge you, will lift you up when you are down, will make you laugh when you are sad, will talk to you with respect, will always celebrate your success, will help heal your broken soul, will help you transform your life, and help you transform your pain into purpose.

If you cannot find a true friend, be a true friend to yourself, to your boss, to your wife, to your neighbor, to your customer, to your dog, to your mentor, to your soul. Can you make your soul happy?
