The Power Of Silence

Motivation

By Justine ValendezPublished 3 years ago 5 min read

Buddha said before you speak let your

word pass through three gates

is it valuable

is it necessary and is it making any

difference and the person who understand

it that what when where and how much to

speak

no one can stop that person from being

successful a spoken word never comes

back just like a spent arrow never comes

back

words are like weapons that you must be

learned to use it properly because the

person who have no control over their

speaking

always put himself in trouble they lost

control over everything even today

people only speak to humiliate each

other sometimes they speak without any

reason just to get valid but rewards are

very powerful

and it can change the world

if you know how to speak so the people

who knows when to speak and how much to

speak

are very strong and very powerful now

let me make it clear

silence is not meaning to stay without

saying a word here silence means not

speaking anything without any valuable

reason

it means speaking only when it is

necessary or valuable silence means

laser focus silence means focusing on

your goal focusing on your work

so today i will tell you five powerful

benefits of being silenced and it will

transform your life completely

number one silence makes your opponent

confused

the greatest warrior sons who said

he will we who knows when to speak and

why not to speak

he said he defeated thousands of his

enemies with his power of silence

so many times he puts his enemies into

deep thinking by staying silence he said

when you stay silence it makes your

enemies perplexed

and they start thinking about you and

you and your plan

that what you are gonna do what's your

next move because of the fear and in

this way they lost focus on their own

goals and this is how you can keep your

plans secret and this is how you can

take advantage from silence and at the

end the game is yours you can win it in

your style

number two silence builds laser focus

silence is not the absence of words but

the presence of focus

silence people have lots of ideas and

things to say but they don't speak

unless it is necessary if you want to do

something big in life or if you work on

any kind of project then what would you

do to get success you need focus and

what did you need to have that kind of

laser focus

you need to stop focusing on multiple

things and keep quiet let me tell you a

story in a mosque in his childhood used

to stay silent most of the time so their

parents thought he had a year problem

because most of the time he can't listen

anything so their parents took him to

the hospital but the doctor said he's

well and ultimately they found out the

reason that why he can't used to hear

anything because his study with laser

focus now you can see the power of

silence laser focus puts you in deep

silence and deep silence

helps you to achieve laser focus number

three silence gets people attention

now you are gonna realize how silence

gets people's attention if you have ever

been in a classroom or in a group

situation you have most likely

experienced

how silence often gets everyone's

attention

if the teacher is talking away the

listeners minds might start to wonder

when the speaker stops talking a signal

goes to the brain that something has

happened all of them suddenly pay

attention to try and figure out why

communication has stopped the same is

true in our daily conversation

if we are silent

people take note and we gain their

attention if you stay silent and focus

on your goal if you speak only when it

is necessary then people's focus goes on

you or if you stay silent and speak only

what is valuable

then people will listen to you people

value you people will remember you and

recommend you number four silence builds

trust in order to achieve success

connecting with successful people

and developing effective relationships

becomes very essential for me

relationship is very important in life

so if you want to develop effective

relationships or if you want to connect

with successful people what you need you

must build trust

and to build trust you must listen them

carefully that's what successful people

do they do not do all the talking but

you can see some people when they meet

with successful people they start

chattering they go busy talking about

their own stuff but the successful

people mostly focus on listening they

ask questions about the other person and

listen to them when you listen a person

carefully they will realize they are

valuable in your life they will feel

themselves as an important person and in

this way they will trust you number five

silence helps to negotiate when the

other person is silent you wonder what

they might be thinking so turn the

tables let them wonder what you are

thinking maybe you got a job and have

been asked for salary or the company

mentions a salary figure but you want

more than that so do not answer

immediately do not say i will take it or

no pause stay silence for a moment the

discomfort of the silence will make the

other person want to feel the void and

start talking

let them reveal information that helps

you to have the upper hand moving

forward in the conversation number six

silence build strength most of us don't

like silence and we are afraid of it

because we equate silence with

insignificance as we want to be hard and

seen

liked

and loved by people we all want people's

attention we all want to sow people we

always want to be something or someone

good in the eyes of another person we

are depending on other people's opinion

as their opinion makes us feel good also

sometimes their opinions makes us feel

bad so we give our power away we are

constantly in search of something we

already have but we already have

everything we truly need but we can't

recognize them until we become silent

and get rid of distraction silence gives

us a sense of cell value everything is

within us if we recognize how to connect

allowing silence listen to our breathe

it opens the possibility to find out the

self-value right there you don't need

people to tell you that who you are and

what you are capable of what you can and

what you can't

which they ultimately tell you from

their own limited perspective instead of

that if we stay silent we would find our

inner voice and would realize that we

are already all we need to be

and accepting who you are is a victory

silence will makes you realizing what's

your strength silence will help you

define your strength silence is really

really powerful
