Brian Tracy once commented that everything that exists is already out of date. He calls this the Law of Obsolescence. That is why some celebrated achievements become obsolete after some time. It may interest you to know that some things that were discarded as obsolete were celebrated in the past. The implication of this is that even the most noble and celebrated achievements of the modern age will become obsolete in the future. That is why it is said that success is a process, not a destination. If you continue to celebrate what you have accomplished without striving for more, there will come a time when you have nothing to celebrate.
That is why experts believe that the largest room in the world is the one that can be improved. The quest to ensure that there are better alternatives and substitutes for every achievement before it becomes obsolete explains why the search for success is ongoing. Perhaps scientists have the best understanding of this point of view. His efforts to continuously improve and improve the quality of life of humanity with new innovations have led to numerous discoveries and inventions to the point that if the greatest scientist who died a few decades ago were resurrected, he would not be able to understand, much less explain. some of the latest scientific and technological advancements, even in their field.
One of the consequences of this is that the world becomes more complex as time passes. In the midst of this, man’s attention is more focused on the things that are outside of him. Most of the time, you are so busy and distracted that you don’t have time to think about yourself or your life because you can’t spend time with yourself alone. This is not the first time that humanity has had this experience. In ancient Greece, for example, the advent of Socrates on the stage of philosophical speculation heralded the dawn of the golden age in the history of Western philosophy. His aim was to make man the center and subject of philosophical speculation, unlike the sages of his time in Athens.
In addition to the distractions caused by scientific and technological advances, an easily observable truth in contemporary times is that there are multiple tasks competing for each individual’s limited time and limited resources. As a result, many, if not most, of the tasks staring at you can’t be done, even when you want to. The responsibilities derived from your family, friends, work, religion, society, etc. there are so many that they are also very strong sources of distraction. That is why man is continually distancing himself from himself, even when approaching other people. Man has continued to withdraw from himself in thought and action. He is concerned about everything but himself.
When you’re (too) busy, like most people, spending time with yourself may remove yourself from your to-do list. People try to get closer to others while staying away from themselves. It is very important and rewarding to spend time alone every day. No matter how busy you are, you should strive to spend at least 10 minutes alone in silence every day. There are some benefits to observing this practice. The first immediate benefit is that it relieves you of some stress and helps you enjoy a healthy life by renewing and rejuvenating you. Although sleeping is a wonderful way to renew yourself, you still need to give your mind a break when you are awake.
When you don’t spend time with yourself, it wears out your mind, body, spirit, and soul, causing stress and illness. Spending time alone with yourself is an easy, undemanding, quick, and highly effective way to calm yourself down. In addition to this, it gives you the opportunity to look inward and reflect on important issues in your life in order to develop valuable and effective solutions for them. In the absence of this practice, your perspective becomes clouded. Therefore, spending time alone helps you make quality decisions on important issues in your life, especially those that shape your destiny. It also helps you focus and guide your life better, which helps you achieve a happy life.
Perhaps the most important advantage of spending time alone is, perhaps, the spiritual benefits that you will get from doing it. It makes you sensitive to the world beyond, regardless of your religious affiliation, and it also helps you create and enjoy a quality relationship with the transcendent beings (with positive powers) in the world beyond (whose aids are fundamental to your success). Whenever you feel confused, lost, and need clarity in life, one of the things you should do is withdraw to be alone. It may interest you to note that you can find the best answers and solutions to life’s biggest challenges when you spend time with yourself.
