Reflection on SEPARATE YOURSELF!
In the bustle and hustle atmosphere of our lives, we cannot really move ahead. Amidst the confusion and commotion of our time, a thinking mind will not really make a head way. There are times when situation will get so difficult and confused that we have to separate ourselves from confusion. Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.†So they took up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple
When the engagement of life clouds and increases, it is ever advisable to separate yourself! When the confusions of your life struggle increases, it is very reasonable to separate yourself! When you are gradually getting confused on the next step to take in life, it pays to separate yourself! For John Mason: “When we draw away for a time, we can see and hear much more clearly about how to go aheadâ€1
When you draw away for some time, you get back to your original nature. When you stay alone, you discover your uniqueness. When you stay alone, there is a clearer vision and stronger determination. There is something invigorating and strengthening about aloneness! We came to the world alone, and if we stay alone, the very depth of our nature is renewed. Solitude gets us back to our original nature. Separation is an outstanding secret of winners. Great impact makers had something in private before they impacted the world with something great in public. Strength comes from the quietness of the mind. There is new inspiration from the privacy of our heart. There is power in the solitude of our lives. New strength comes in when we are isolated. The greatest companion of winners is solitude. It is very pleasant to embrace it as a friend. It gives an inner strength and joy to stay in solitude: “In quietness and confidence shall be your strength†(Is. 30:15). Real winners don’t really spend much time in the world of human affairs. Much involvement in the common affairs of men lessen their worth and impact. There is always that need to separate to acquire more vitality and power. Robert Greene admonishes: You instantly seem powerful because you make yourself ungraspable, rather than succumbing to the group, or the relationship, as most people do.FURTHER READING: Ps.91
