Quiet Moments - Reflecting On The Self

Thank goodness for quiet moments for that is when you become one with who you are. It is during such quiet times that we reveal our inner most hidden thoughts and secrets about ourselves.

Often times the quiet moments, remind us not only of who we are, but also of who we want to be. When we listen to our inner desires, unveiling the truth that lies within, we discover natural and hidden talents just waiting to be found.

Regrettably, and all too often, the hectic pace of life today keeps us too busy to uncover our natural talents. We start thinking 'employee' very early on in life. Can you think back to a time when you were little and someone asked you what you would like to be when you grow up? Our education system kicks in and before you know it, we are working to sustain a reasonable lifestyle. All too often we end up doing more of what others want us to do instead of focusing on capturing our own sense of creativity and working with our individual talents.

Time moves on and years go by and looking back we often wonder what would have been, what could have been if only we did what we wanted to do.

Personally, 2006 brought two life changing events into my life. First, after taking the time to listen to my inner voice during one of my quiet moments, something special was brewing and later revealed in truth. An inner yearning and deep desire to lead and teach others Personal Development and Life Coaching became my reality. In fact, a dream come true, after considerable research and focused concentration on this career transition.

Second, 2006 brought music back into my life after a long absence. A deep longing and passionate desire to play music once again, brought forth an opportunity to buy two wonderful musical instruments: a harp and a piano.

It is my belief that listening to my inner thoughts and taking the time for personal reflection has brought a renewed sense and appreciation for a deeper understanding in the power of thought and the sound of music.

The lessons learned have been about connecting to the natural world and Order of life. Hear the depth of sound, be it in the stillness of nature, or somewhere else, discover something new and brilliant about, your family, friends, working life and yourself.

Some way, somehow, you can-and must-put your plans into action, if for no other reason then to unlock the many wonders of your personal thoughts, freedoms, and desires.

If only for a moment, open your mind, release your thoughts and give yourself time to reflect, on the quiet moments. Then you can seize the opportunity and potential that lies within.
