SOLITUDE

 Be alone-that is the secret of invention: be alone, that is when ideas are born.

                                                                                                    -Nikola Tesla

When was the last time you just plopped down in the middle of the day and sat there alone with only your thoughts? I think it’s been a while because as a society we are afraid of being alone, we are afraid of separating ourselves from others, we are afraid of solitude. Not only are we afraid of being alone individually, but we are also afraid of those around us who we see as being alone; we are afraid of others who appear to be by themselves. You know, we see them as dangerous, unproductive, antisocial, or maybe even unwanted and I think it’s a skewed view.

Why are we ourselves afraid of being alone?

Is it because we don’t understand, we don’t understand alone? Is it because we confuse isolation with separation? 

We use two words: alone and lonely. Lonely means you are longing to be with somebody but that somebody is missing. Alone means you have found your own company  very wonderful. I think being alone frightens many people and I agree that being forever alone is not necessarily the position to be in. However being separated from the artificial world for a while can be very beneficial.

Leveraging your full potential in not saying and wishing and hoping I wish I was given more to do more but doing your best with what you have those are the people who master full potential. Sometimes our dreams don’t come true but understanding with the right attitude helps you reach your full potential. We need to create harmony with our body and mind and our hearts and our souls and in that harmony we realize the harmony among all humanity. For creating such harmony solitude helps a lot.

If one knows, one enjoys being alone it means they are definitely better organized psychologically emotionally far better organized than others. Being alone not only benefits us as  individual but also the communities. It’s not necessarily a physical practice. It can be simply a state of mind. Some of the benefits include stress reduction. It increases creativity. Solitude fosters innovation. It allows you to learn more about yourself and find your own voice. It empowers you to be confident and comfortable with who you are. We can get an opportunity to plan your life. It really improves our mental wellbeing.

I think it’s really a wonderful feeling to find yourself when you close your eyes rather than peoples’ opinion. It is really refreshing to keep yourself without thoughts for a while. People may afraid to stay without thoughts but in fact it’s like taking out all things from a room and managing them in their own proper place after cleaning. So, never afraid to be alone.
