They look the same,
but they are different..
Loneliness and Solitude.
Loneliness is about missing being with people whom we want to be with. It is a painful negative emotion. Our soul feels empty, alone and sad.
Solitude, however, is a conscious choice we make to be solely in the company of our beautiful self.
Solitude is a peaceful break we take from everyone, including those whom we adore, so that we are surrounded with silence that makes us listen to the voice of our core.
Many, probably most, great leaders practiced solitude. They found spaces where they disconnected from the noisy and busy world and reconnected with their best self and with their purest source of strength and inspiration.
Try it discover the power of solitude to collect, refine, purify, refocus and un-clutter your internal world.
It maybe the most useful habit to have.
