“Infinite silence is the mind of God…Practise silence and you will acquire silent knowledge.”
– Deepak Chopra
I have found spending time in silence and solitude is a key component in learning to be Happy and overcoming loneliness. When I was single, I felt lonely a lot. I thought the answer was to increase my social life and make new friends. Although this helped, it only alleviated the problem temporarily. I had to learn to be comfortable in my own skin. I discovered that loneliness was less to do with being disconnected from others and more to do with me being disconnected from myself.
