You see things. You keep quiet about them. And you understand.
Today’s quote may seem like meek advice, but there is tremendous power in this concept. Observation is such a powerful act. If you think sitting back and observing is wimpy, think again; Observation never takes anything away from us, it does not back us into a corner, and it rarely demands that we apologize or backtrack. Conversely, Observation always gives us a payout because there is always something to learn…
Once we react, speak, move – we have released ourselves into the world and then we have no choice but to blend in with whatever we have just thrown ourselves toward. Like black ink pouring into a pool of water, once we spill ourselves, we are immediately diluted. Observation is like a container that keeps us intact – it doesn’t make us weak- it keeps us potent.
