Are you Present?
As one of the top business
motivational speakers in South Africa, I will ask you “Do you know what it
feels like to just be, where you can sit and enjoy your own company, enjoying
the happiness of just living, loving and lapping up the wonder that is life”?
When last did you give yourself the benefit of some time alone?
·
Time to just sit
·
Time to just sit and
reflect.
·
Time to just sit,
reflect and dream.
·
Time to just sit,
reflect, dream and relax.
·
Time to just sit,
reflect, dream, relax and be
·
Time to just sit,
reflect, dream, relax, be and search within.
·
Time to just sit,
reflect, dream, relax, search within and allow yourself to explore your inner
desires.
As
one of the most inspiring business motivational speakers in South Africa, I
believe that one of the major reasons we never manage to find fulfilment,
meaning and happiness, is simply because, we have not mastered the art of just
being, where we feel comfortable with ourselves, away from the constant noise
and distraction, which has become the norm for us, in the hustle and bustle of
our modern lives. We are constantly distracted by billboards, noise from our
car radios, TV’s, smart phones, computers and every other modern appliance imaginable.
This constant noise never allows us to relax, reflect and to dream. It keeps us
in a constant state of stress and even distress, where we eventually become
overwhelmed or worse just plain numb. To cope, with the constant bombardment,
we eventually live in a virtual coma, running aimlessly on a hamster wheel to
nowhere.
Wrestle back Control
You
can choose to stay locked in the coma, which is your life, or you can make a
wiser choice and choose to wrestle back control of your experience, where you
give yourself time to just be. I see with my own daughter, how she can never
sit in silence and just be with her own thoughts. Even when she is studying for
an exam, she sits with earphones in her ears, listening to music. If I switch
the radio or the educational cd I have playing in the car off, so that I can
drive in silence for a while to think and just be. She immediately pipes up and
asks me to put the radio on. It truly is sad that we have allowed the noise,
which distracts, destroys and limits, to become such a crucial part of our
experience.
Give yourself permission
to just be
Action Idea: The constant noise all around you is not just overwhelming;
it is distracting you from living. Schedule time every day to just be with
yourself and your thoughts, to meditate, relax, think and just be. Learn to
love the silence and give yourself permission to turn the volume on your inner
voice up, once again. Learn to listen and to trust the wisdom of your inner
all-knowing self and then use the wisdom it brings, to create the life of your
dreams.
Focus
on right now and draw as much substance as possible from each moment of
silence. Using each one to listen, learn and grow. Once you learn the art of
being and you can just sit in silence and listen, you will have mastered the
art of truly living an incredible life.
