You need time alone to clear the psychic debris in your mind and the thoughts and ideas you pick up from others. You need silence and boredom to tap into your creativity.

Most people are terrified of being alone with their thoughts, never mind plumbing into the depths of their psyche and all the memories and images that reside there, so they fill their lives with noise, information, social media, YouTube, and podcasts, constantly keeping themselves busy. They are often running away from themselves and their feelings.

Yet it is only through quiet moments of self-reflection, where you are willing to explore your deepest fears and confront yourself, that you also discover your deepest gifts. It is in this silence that you can begin to hear the voice of your soul again.

You need silence and solitude to remember who you are. When you take time to change your inner being, your whole life changes afterwards.
