“All of humanity’s problems stem from our inability to sit quietly in a room alone,
Our always on, always connected culture soothes and seduces us.
Being on, being connected feels important.
Necessary.
It makes us feel needed.
Significant.
If we’re always on, we never need to be alone.
Alone we’re confronted with the bigger questions.
Who am I?
What do I really want?
Where am I compromising?
Where am I settling?
Where am I abdicating?
Am I living out my values?
Am I doing work that matters?
Am I aware that the clock is ticking down to zero?
It’s so much easier to check your Facebook feed.
But in the stillness is your power.
Might you spend some time there soon?
