Picture Quotes

Oh, how different the world would look…

    Picture quote about learning to be still from Ryan Holiday

    “How different would the world look if people spent as much time listening to their conscience as they did to chattering broadcasts?  If they could respond to the calls of their convictions as quickly as we answer the dings and rings of technology in our pockets?  All this noise.  All this information.  All these inputs.  We are afraid of the silence.  We are afraid of looking stupid.  We are afraid of missing out.  We are afraid of being the bad guy who says, ‘Nope, not interested.’  We’d rather make ourselves miserable than make ourselves a priority, than be our best selves.  Than be still… and in charge of our own information diet.”

    Ryan Holiday, Stillness is the Key (Page 36)
