‘Stillness Speaks’ – a book by Eckhart Tolle says that our inner stillness is where we are closest to who we really are and we lose that connection when clouded by noise, which are generally other thoughts that clam for attention etc.
I’m not sure if I’m doing the best job explaining it but what I basically got out of it is that the closer we are to this stillness, the closer we are to who we really are.
So, how do we get there, especially when things don’t go as we expect? 2 things that came to my mind are –
1) Look up! – Think of all those we look up to. What would they do in such a situation?
2) Look around! – Think of all those who look up to us. What would they expect of us? What would set the best example?
Suddenly it becomes clear..
And letting it go with a scream possibly helps as well.. ha ha..
