The power of ‘QUIET TIME’ cannot be overemphasized.
Quiet Time’ is defined as time spent alone with one’s thoughts and without regard for any external body or force.
In a world full of voices and noises, one cannot afford to go for long periods of time without having ‘Lone Time’ with oneself. Unfortunately, the opposite is true for the majority of people, which should not be the case.

Many people go through life without ‘understanding themselves for themselves;’ they are unaware of their horoscope, temperament, or even their true beliefs. These individuals are oblivious to their own abilities, limitations, and worth. As they go through life, they become victims of their own ignorance. They marry the wrong person, get into the wrong relationships, work for the wrong company, pursue the wrong career, abuse themselves with drugs, words, and so on, and in the end, they are frustrated and unfulfilled in life.
Psychiatrists have long recommended ‘quiet time’ to people who ‘appear physically healthy.’ These individuals may be having difficulties in their marriages, with themselves, or in their careers, and ‘Quiet Time’ is recommended to assist them in RECOLLECTING, REFLECTING, and RECOGNIZING the essence of life and the significance of whatever they are actually into.

Wise Counsel
Imbibe the habit of having Quiet time’. Do it without feeling sorry, and for those in relationships or marriage, allow/encourage your spouse to have it, because they will come out better persons.
It doesn’t matter your age, gender, race, nationality, religion or even schedule, always spend some time with YOUR SELF.
In your ‘QUIET TIME,’ talk to yourself (yes, you can!) and figure out why you do the things you do, the way you do them; why you talk the way you do, why you get angry easily or rarely, why you chose your career, and so on. Refuse to let things happen to you because, in reality, “Nothing Happens By Accident.”
