Thomas 70 books view quotes. This is our inner voice that speaks with us. Imagine a volume dial for your inner voice. Turn it clockwise to increase the volume, turn it anticlockwise to decrease the volume. This grants you control over your inner voice and when you want to hear it, and this is valuable.

You can make it funny. You can make it smooth. You can make it husky. You can make it sound like Morgan Freeman or Julie Andrews. Unfortunately, we live in a noisy world. We have tweets, DMs, emails and more coming at us all hours of the day. And the easiest way to do this is to simply not use them as much as we currently do. Do not disturb should be the default on our devices.

When you do speak, your silence will lend what you say a tone of gravitas and authority — and this will be earned, as you will have given thought to what you have to say. Is there anything more unuseful than talking without saying anything? This is not an advocacy for someone to always be quiet, no. But of all the things that are said, how much are actually useful? Because silence is something that is often overlooked and left unappreciated. When was the last time you appreciated someone for not speaking up, for holding their tongue and thinking about something instead of yapping on and speaking their minds without thinking clearly about what they actually want to say?

Silence gives space to things that are more important than talking, like deep thought and self reflection. Are you able to keep silent when neccesary, or do you notice that you speak too much or too quick sometimes?

The first thing you might be inclined to do is just giving an elbow in the sides but you can imagine this is not the most effective tactic.
