SILENCE- THE PERILS OF EXCESSIVE TALKING..

In the present scenario our senses are always overwhelmed by the number of things that demand our attention. All these things compel us to speak and more often than not we end up speaking more than actually needed. The present day human society is very complex. We have to deal with and store immense amount of information.

 In the old times we only had to focus on sustenance and hence talking was strictly exchange of information about food and dangers around. But today speaking is more of a social thing. Exchange of information is a very small part of our daily conversations. When we stop and analyse our speaking habits in a particular day, we would be shocked. The amount of time we spend talking about things that do not have any value is immense. This mindless talking habit of present day has been labelled as gossiping.

Time is valuable for every individual. But we do not realise how much time we waste in a day talking mindlessly. Gossiping not only wastes our time but also drains our energy. Speaking is a human activity and it needs energy. We all have had experienced feeling of dizziness and tiredness after talking too much or too loudly. Unfortunately the art of silence is fast losing its hold in this digital era. A person who tries to control his/her words is branded as shy in this society. This social stigma associated with controlled speaking makes it hard to preach and practise the art of being silent and mindful talking.

Humans are social animals. In the beginning of human society this habit of gossiping among early humans helped them know more about others and in turn helped them unite into a group. We have come a long way now. The positive aspect of gossiping has passed by. Present day it is responsible in spreading hatred and unverifiable informations. There have been human clashes as well as social clashes all due to rumour mongering fueled by gossiping people. To add to these unstable times we have social media as a gossiping tool which bumps up the level of damage rumour mongering can cause.

"AN EMPTY VESSEL SOUNDS MUCH" This saying still stands true. People with worth and character always come across as people who are most silent individuals. They practise mindful speaking and hence do not waste their valuable energy in talking. Yet with this habit they are no less of an influential speaker. It turns out that words of the person who speaks less is more valuable than their talkative counterpart. Silence liberates us. It makes us a better listener and a good observer. All these advantages should be compelling enough for one to practise mindful speaking. After all we have only one life to do great things, why waste it gossiping..

THE VALUE OF TIME..

In my previous blog I talked about how our life can be driven in a better way by knowledge. Well this life teaches us a very important aspect of living. We get to value it and treasure it like never before. That aspect is TIME. And it really is man's most valuable asset.

What makes time so valuable? According to me it's the fact that we have no control over it passing.Time treats no one in a partial manner. The same 24 hours is distributed to each and every atom in this universe.Humans with all their scientific development can not tame time. What we can do is mould ourselves based on time. This will help us harness the power of time which is invisible to almost everyone.

A life driven by search for knowledge pushes us to use time to its optimum. This when becomes a habit we succeed. It is rightfully said that success is the amalgamation of daily habits. When knowledge leads and time is well managed an individual can be catapulted to fame and riches. History has many evidences which brings out how humans who have been able to mould themselves as per time and have been able to achieve remarkable feats. When you treat time with respect you get that back multiplied many folds.

Humans are mortal beings. The quicker this realisation seeks in the quicker one gets the result. People who succeed are not different from common folks in any way. But their habits greatly differs from the masses. They respect time and use it to their advantage. This small daily habit adds up and shows as result. People often realise the importance of time later in life. Thus success and riches are achieved by people mostly in their 40's. Imagine the benefit one can get when this understanding seeps in early. Then one would also get the added benefit of higher metabolism which will enable greater productivity. Thus it's not wrong to consider time as our most valuable asset. It really is ,only when it's given the value that it deserves. Individuals come on this planet with one thing in their possession i.e limited time. Thus TIME is the only possession we have. Everything else is an illusion.

WHEN SEARCH FOR KNOWLEDGE DRIVES LIFE..

In life we need a driving force. Without such a driving force we are destined to lead a somewhat stagnant life. Earlier I have talked about importance of an aim in life.You can read more about it here..

Aim is indeed a very strong driving force. But in due time I have stumbled across a trait that drives me more deeply. When I began this blog, I wanted to be informed more about life and all that surrounds us and supports our existence. This search can be simply placed as a search for knowledge and I can not deny this fact. What has astonished me is how strong this drive can get. My life has got itself wrapped around this intrinsic force which seeks knowledge of life itself. Everything that I do now reflects this drive. This force had a dramatic effect on my senses. They remain more aware of the surrounding and leech out facts for my subconscious to feed upon.

This needs special mention because this force involves both the conscious and the subconscious mind. You start to notice everything. Speech becomes rare because hearing serves the purpose more than using the mouth and tongue. Such silence and awareness of the surrounding floods your mind with facts that eventually become knowledge. This is best understood using the term deductive science which I stumbled across watching Sherlock Holmes series.

The benefit of having knowledge as the driving force is that you get away from mindless social media scrolling. That time which was wasted is now used mindfully. This change has really been beneficial. Another thing that this lifestyle has changed is that I value time more now. Time really is our most valuable asset. Being mindful opens up time for a lot for tasks that have value in our life. Time spent performing such tasks adds value to our lives. The best thing is the feeling of being busy because you always have something of significance to do or achieve.

Search for knowledge brings you more closer to life and living. The heightened senses serves a greater purpose and brings closed ones more closer. This enlightens you and drives you even when life puts you down. This added responsibility and drive to push harder lets you accomplish targets and set new ones that are more soul enriching. The byproducts are determination and insight of life which people strive hard to achieve in a lifetime. This new year gift yourself the power of knowledge because in the journey of achieving knowledge you will change your life for the better in ways you could never have imagined.
