THE POWER OF SOLITUDE

THE POWER OF SOLITUDE 

The greatest wealth in the world is the wealth of time. There is nothing more precious than the wealth of time. If you could realize that everything is made out of time, then you can convert your free time into anything you want. If you know what the treasure of time worth, if you know that time is a resource, then you will actually be able to convert your time into any product you want. You will be able to convert your time into anything. Time can be converted to anything. It is from time that everything is made. One of the things you could do with your time is to convert it into a treasure, a greater treasure. And that treasure is called solitude.

(1) Solitude is a Greater Treasure Than Money

Solitude is a greater treasure than money. Solitude is a greater treasure than wealth. Solitude is the measure through which you could concentrate on using your time. It is through solitude that you can convert your time into something of value.


(2)Solitude Helps You Overcome Distraction

 Solitude is a way of overcoming distraction so that you can convert your time into something of worth. When you are able to overcome distractions, then you will be able to do something more specific, something more precise and definite with the time that you have. Therefore the time of solitude is the greatest treasure you could ever think about. Solitude is a wonderful treasure the world is still yet to discover.

(3) Solitude Helps You Convert Time into Products

Solitude is a purposeful and intentional time when you put yourself away alone with time and with the properties you need to convert that time into the product that you want to produce. Solitude is a time when you go into a determined time of making the best of that time. You are converting that time. You are in solitude with the sole aim of getting the best out of that time


 
 When you can go somewhere to go and think or use that time to study or read in the library, when you can take that time to go work in the laboratory, you are actually converting that time. You are taking advantage of every minute and you are converting it to a product. You are producing something every minute. So, that time that is pouring out, every minute and second, that time that is diminishing, you are taking advantage of it. You are converting it into a product, into an invention, into a discovery, you are producing a product from it. So because you are converting it, you are actually conserving it. You are reproducing your life that way. You are not only reproducing it, you are winning back your time. You are grabbing back your life. So, instead of allowing your time to fly away, you can use it productively. 

Solitude is what makes time conversion almost automatic. You must have an idea of what you want to do in solitude.

(4) Solitude Helps You Block Time From Flying Away

 So through solitude you are actually blocking the way of that time that is flying away. In solitude, you are standing in the way of time. What you are saying is NO! I am not going to allow my life and my time just to while away and go away like that. I am going to be battling with this time and I am going to be converting it. Whatever your decision is and whatever you decide to do in that solitude, is what you are converting that time into. 


What are you going to do with your life? Will you allow it keep flying away like that? Can’t you see your life is diminishing per time? Do you really want to waste your life on earth like that? Why don’t you convert your time into the treasure called solitude? Why don’t you convert your time into products?

 A Man Who Converted His Time

Michelangelo, the great artistic painter. When he goes into his studio and starts to work on his project, he remains in solitude in that studio for two months, for three months, for six months. Just painting. What was he doing? He didn’t want to lose any time. He didn’t want to give room for any distractions. He was taking advantage of time. He was taking the bull of time by the horns and he converted that time into the products that he wanted to see. That is why he is one of the greatest artistic painters right now………..Salvador Dali, all those great names you know, they go into a time of solitude and they sit there in solitude for six months. Sometimes one year, two years and three years in solitude.

Have you heard about the saint Basilica church in Vatican city in Rome, I heard that some of these great people were in that saint Basilica for three years, four years, or six years in solitude. They just bring them food to eat and they go to the restroom. They remained in solitude for six years, seven years, but not just in solitude meditating or just wasting away life again. They were fulfilling destiny. They were in solitude producing, converting time into products.
