Buddha said before you speak let your word pass through three gates: Is it valuable, is it necessary and is it making any difference to the person who understands it what, when, where, and how much to speak.

No one can stop that person from being successful. A spoken word never comes back just like a spent arrow never comes back.

Words are like weapons that you must be learned to use properly. Because the person who has no control over their speaking, always put themselves in trouble they lost control over everything. 

Even today, people only speak to humiliate each other. Sometimes they speak without any reason just to get valid but rewards are very powerful and it can change the world if you know how to speak.

So the people who know when to speak and how much to speak, are very strong and very powerful. Now let me make it clear. Silence is not meaning to stay without saying a word. Here silence means not speaking anything without any valuable reason.

It means speaking only when it is necessary or valuable silence means, laser focus. Silence means focusing on your goal, focusing on your work.

So today i will tell you five powerful benefits of being silent and it will transform your life completely.

Number one: Silence makes your opponent confused

The greatest warrior sons who said he will we who knows when to speak and why not to speak.

He said he defeated thousands of his enemies with his power of silence. So many times he puts his enemies into deep thinking by staying silent. He said, when you stay silent it makes your enemies perplexed and they start thinking about you and your plan.

That's what you are gonna do. What's your next move because of the fear in this way they lost focus on their own goals and this is how you can keep your plans secret and this is how you can take advantage of the silence and at the end the game is yours. You can win it in your style.

Number two: Silence builds laser focus

Silence is not the absence of words but the presence of focus.

Silent people have lots of ideas and things to say but they don't speak unless it is necessary.

If you want to do something big in life or if you work on any kind of project, then what would you do to get success? You need focus. And what did you need to have that kind of laser focus?

You need to stop focusing on multiple things and keep quiet. Let me tell you a story about a mosque. In his childhood used to stay silent most of the time so their parents thought he had a hearing problem because most of the time he couldn't hear anything their parents took him to the hospital but the doctor said he was well. 

Number three: Silence gets people's attention

Now you are gonna realize how silence gets people's attention if you have ever been in a classroom or in a group situation you have most likely experienced how silence often gets everyone's attention.

If the teacher is talking away the listener's mind might start to wonder. When the speaker stops talking, a signal goes to the brain that something has happened. All of them suddenly pay attention to try and figure out why communication has stopped. 

The same is true in our daily conversation. If we are silent people take note and we gain their attention. If you stay silent and focus on your goal if you speak only when it is necessary then people's focus goes on if you stay silent and speak only about what is valuable then people will listen to you.

People will remember you and recommend you.

Number four: Silence builds trust 

In order to achieve success, connecting with successful people and developing effective relationships becomes very essential for me.

A relationship is very important in life. So if you want to develop effective relationships or if you want to connect with successful people. What you need to do, you must build trust and to build trust you must listen to them carefully. That's what successful people do.

They do not do all the talking but you can see some people when they meet with successful people start chattering. They go busy talking about their own stuff but successful people mostly focus on listening. They ask questions about the other person and listen to them.

When you listen to a person carefully, they will realize they are valuable in your life. They will feel as an important person and in this way, they will trust them.

Number five: Silence helps to negotiate 

When the other person is silent you wonder what they might be thinking. So turn the tables. Let them wonder what you are thinking. Maybe you got a job and have been asked for a salary or the company mentions a salary figure but you want more than that. So do not answer immediately. Do not say I will take it no,  pause stay silent for a moment. The discomfort of the silence will make the other person want to feel the void and start talking.

Let them reveal information that helps you to have the upper hand moving forward in the conversation.

Number six: Silence build strength 

Most of us don't like silence and we are afraid of it because we equate silence with insignificance as we want to be heard and seen, liked, and loved by people. We all want people's attention. We all want to be seen by people. We always want to be something or someone good in the eyes of another person.

We are depending on other people's opinion as their opinion makes us feel good. Also sometimes their opinions make us feel bad. So we give our power away. We are constantly in search of something we already have. But we already have everything we truly need but we can't recognize them until we become silent and get rid of distractions.

 Silence gives us a sense of self-value. Everything is within us if we recognize how to connect.

Allowing silence to listen to our breath, opens the possibility to find out the self-value right there you don't need people to tell you who you are and what you are capable of, what you can and what you can't. Which they ultimately tell you from their own limited perspective.

Instead of that, if we stay silent we would find our inner voice and would realize that we are already all we need to be.

And accepting who you are is a victory. Silence will make you realize what's your strength. Silence will help you define your strength. Silence is really really powerful.
