Statio, a holy pause

Instead of fixing in back to back meetings,

Or stacking up one task after the other,

What about leaving a 5 minute gap in between to breathe

And connect to the present moment?

[Zaithwa Matemvu @MatemvuZai]

'Statio'

Also called a holy pause

The moment in between moments.

The next time you're done with one set of tasks,

Take a moment to pause and connect with the present moment.

[Zaithwa Matemvu @MatemvuZai]

@JordanLipsky_ Beautiful!

Those quiet moments are to be treasured

[Zaithwa Matemvu @MatemvuZai]

When was the last time you sat with yourself in quietness?

No, sleep does not count!

[Zaithwa Matemvu @MatemvuZai]

@DJude__ Well done, Deacon!

'Lose not the advantage of solitude and the society of thyself'
- Thomas Browne

Don't be afraid to face the reality of who you are and who you've become.

[Zaithwa Matemvu @MatemvuZai]

Don't let the noise of modern life drown out your inner voice

[Zaithwa Matemvu @MatemvuZai]

Solitude is not loneliness

Solitude is not isolation

Solitude is freedom and self-awareness

[Zaithwa Matemvu @MatemvuZai]

99% of people lack direction in life.

Why?

Because they spend all their lives running from themselves.

If you want clarity and purpose, the answer lies in cultivating solitude

[Zaithwa Matemvu @MatemvuZai]

The lesson is

If you want to be someone different from what you are today,

You have got to accept that the only way that's possible,

If to actually change.

Your mindset, beliefs, habits, community,

You have to change in order for your life to change, simple.

'But that's how I've always done things'

'I'm not ready or willing to change'

@JordanLipsky_ Thanks, Jordan!

Don't be too proud to be a beginner

This is what I was telling myself yesterday

When I went swimming for the first time in maybe 2 years

And got put in the kiddie pool ;)

Well, at least it was a teachable moment!

[Zaithwa Matemvu @MatemvuZai]

@ItsDennisChege Turned out I wasn't as bad as I thought I'd be!!! I think I'm ready to be promoted to the adult pool LOL

[Zaithwa Matemvu @MatemvuZai]

@DJude__ 100% anydayyyy

[Zaithwa Matemvu @MatemvuZai]

@BeginnersCreate Should have seen that coming, Subir ;)

[Zaithwa Matemvu @MatemvuZai]

How do you measure growth on X?

If you could only measure ONE metric,

What would it be?

[Zaithwa Matemvu @MatemvuZai]

@ItsDennisChege This is gold!!

[Zaithwa Matemvu @MatemvuZai]

@ItsYomnaTaha Exactly, Yomna

It takes so much humility to accept that you may be doing something wrong. Or that you need to change your approach

But we only get better by being humble enough to learn!

[Zaithwa Matemvu @MatemvuZai]

Be humble.

Be willing to change your mind about why things aren't working and how to make them start working for you.

[Zaithwa Matemvu @MatemvuZai]

@ItsDennisChege The art of the pivot ;)

It's been a minute, indeed!

[Zaithwa Matemvu @MatemvuZai]

Insanity is doing the same thing over

and over

and over

and over

(you get the point)

And expecting a different outcome.

If what you're doing isn't working, then change!

[Zaithwa Matemvu @MatemvuZai]

You are not the exception to the rule.
