The more we talk, the more likely we get to fall into a trap, lose opportunities, give up our personal power, avoid helpful feedback, feel guilty, and cause ourselves unnecessary suffering. As Seneca rightly said, “Silence is a lesson learned from the many sufferings of life.”

Silence is the way of those who are strong, certain, and grounded. Those who are inexperienced, uncertain, or fearful end up talking more to feel better and reassure themselves.
