How Can Silence Become Your Strength.
At times throughout your day, you may think you need to clarify yourselves, explain someone something, or explain yourselves.
But the truth is you do not need to verbalize any thoughts. You don't have to always give your opinions - especially when it's not solicited. Just because there is a pause doesn't mean you have to fill it.
Just because everyone else is talking doesn't mean you have to jump in. You can use the silence to your advantage. You can wait & see. You can decide not to speak through words at all & let your work speak for you.
