Reflect

It can be hard to trust one’s inner wisdom amidst the distraction and noise of the world. Whether your life is so busy that it feels impossible to find a few moments of stillness or you’re continually taking input from television and social media, it’s pretty easy to forget that deep within, you know some things that are worthy of your attention. The theologian and civil rights leader Howard Thurman writes, “In the stillness of the quiet, if we listen, we can hear the whisper in the heart giving strength to weakness, courage to fear, hope to despair.” The key is “the stillness of the quiet” in which we give our inner wisdom a chance to be heard and a chance to expand.
