The fear of having to look within and facing our inner self is the major reason why we are never comfortable with silence. We are scared that we may find ourselves on the wrong side or might as well have to completely change our perspective towards life. These things are difficult to acknowledge let alone accept.
We are comfortable in a world where the blame for something lies solely on external reasons for any debacles that occur in our life. Therefore we are unwilling to reflect and act on it. At times we fall prey to seeing ourselves as helpless victims who can't do anything to change the situation. In such a case the only way forward is downhill and bouncing back may seem an uphill task. In worst cases, it may be looked upon as a point of no return. These are perils of a mind that looks outside.
But there is another way, that way is of looking within. We need quiet and stillness to look deep within ourselves and to look on the inside to be able to find the answers to our life’s questions. However challenging it may seem, but it is a way to pursue. The moment we acknowledge ourselves and start looking within we begin our journey towards being better. We realize that all we have is ourselves when we cannot control things on the outside. We must, therefore, become the master of our inner self.
We realize we are responsible for what happens to us. We start seeing ourselves in a new light with a sense of belief that spins wonders out of life. For we realize it's not what on the outside (or the color) that makes a balloon go up, but it's what inside. And that makes all the difference.
