The Beauty of Sitting Still

Writer's picture: Gwendolyn J. JonesGwendolyn J. Jones

“French philosopher and mathematician Blaise Pascal observed that most of our human problems come because we don’t know how to sit still in our room for an hour.” -Leighton Ford

Just keep busy, is a myth!

We often confuse busyness with productivity. We even admire and praise those who are constantly on the go and look down upon those that are content in peace, simplicity and solitude.

Friendly, reminder, some of the busiest people are the saddest. They are fugitives constantly on the run, haunted by ghosts of their past and in hiding from their present reality.

Today know that it’s ok to be still. Balance is key. Knowing when to move and when to rest. When to speak and when to be silent. When to plug in and when to unplug.

If you don’t know how to do any of the above, it’s simply about knowing that you need help and asking for it. ———— Lord, teach us sit and listen!
