Be Quiet

Updated: Aug 16, 2023

“Sometimes words aren’t useful” ~Matt Damon as Carroll Shelby in Ford v. Ferrari


In this 2 1/2 hour blockbuster, these 4 words resonated so much with me. What an important message to convey-you don’t always have to talk! You can be present and still have a positive energy exchange without speaking.

When I practice this in all the little moments each day, I notice a positive difference in my relationships. When I stop this mindfulness practice, I notice a dip in my positive energy exchanges.

I encourage you to give it a try. It is not easy and takes tons of practice. Be present. Listen. Observe. Reflect. Write. If you ask a question, care about and accept the answer. Zip it. Go deeper.

Works for me too. I learned this when my introverted son was born! So hard for me, and when the best lessons ever happen!

I know this response is a few years late, but better late than never! We appreciate your support of Moxie Tales! Could you imagine if more people did this what a wonderful world this would be? Sometimes just don't talk? What an amazing idea!

Be Quiet and Wait 48! Two of my favorites! You don't always have to talk and maybe just wait to open your mouth sometimes!
