What will happen if I cultivate the habit of setting aside 20 minutes of silent time for myself every day just to think about where my life is moving or about any problem that is facing me?

Rather than pretend I can predict what will happen to you, let me tell you what happened to me:

• Setting aside quiet time (silence, space, peace) has always been the first step in correcting the course of my life.

• When I set aside 20 minutes of silent time to think about where my life is going I begin to witness incredible change.

• I find that everything I need is already inside me and that it sometimes gets diluted in a world of interference. All I need to give myself is the opportunity to listen.

Added bonus -

• If instead of using those twenty minutes to think I use them to breathe and just experience my deep, slow breaths - in, out, in, out - if I practice watching all my thoughts float by without holding on to them, then that is called "meditation", and it changes everything.
