“A crust eaten in peace is better than a banquet eaten in anxiety.”
– Aesop

Let that quote settle in for a moment. This morning, it returned to me, and I started wondering why. 

We often get caught up in the banquets of life. The deadlines, meetings, events, and noise start to fill our calendars, leaving very little time for us.
Hence, we start forgetting how nourishing a moment of peace can be.

🌿 Peace over pressure. Stillness over stress. Solitude over chaos.

This week, I was reminded of the value of stillness and being truly present. 

Not every opportunity needs to be seized.
Not every invitation must be accepted.
Not every seat at the table needs to be filled.

🌿 Sometimes, the most needed growth comes from a quiet space — when you’re alone but not lonely — just resting, reflecting, and recharging.

✨ I’m learning to cherish the silence, honour my boundaries, and protect my energy. 

Why? Is it because of that inner peace we cultivate in solitude? For me, it sure is. It creates the foundation for future success.

So here’s your gentle reminder:
🌸 Nurture yourself.
🌸 Reconnect with what truly matters.
🌸 Embrace the stillness—it has much to teach you.

🌿 Don't keep chasing the rainbow, but let it come to you. Let it warm you slowly rather than rushing in when it is not ready to emerge yet.

Take the time to understand this and be kind to yourself.
