One of the challenging things in the present world is the issue of quiet time. I was so excited when I saw the theme for this edition because this has been a thing that I had been battling with the niece staying with me. To an extend he feels as if I am disturbing him.

Quiet time plays a significant role in the life of every great man or intending great personality. In this post, I would like to share some testimony of people that maintain consistency in the place of quiet time and today their lives is something to reckon with.
Quiet time is a deliberate moment set aside for deep reflection and meditation which is profoundly done by religious people especially Christians. It's a powerful tool that shapes ones habit for good growth and development. Quiet time gives one the space and opportunity to interact with God devoid of any kind of distraction. It also strengthen and enable one to gain better understanding of the Bible and prayers.
Aside the spiritual advantage of quiet time, it also brings about focus and development of the mind or mental. Quiet time can helps an individual to think even in a noisy environment. You can train your heart and mind in such a way that no matter the amount of distractions you would still be calm and discern what is good for your heart. I could remember when I was much younger, I can sleep even when they are playing the loudest music in the world. Similarly when it comes to reading as well. I could sit and relax myself to reflect and meditate on what would add value to my life.
Most critical decisions are conceived and birthed in the place of quiet time. It's stillness that gives one ideas and boost creativity. It helps one to have divergent thoughts and perspective of things. Let me quickly share the story of a man I know that has been deliberate about quiet time and how far he has gone in the world today. Right from when I was in secondary school, he has been teaching us how to observe quiet time.
He is currently a lecturer with one of the outstanding colleges of education in the state. He has trained hundreds of individual. He was determined despite the background of his family yet he stood out distinct amongst his equals. Today, his biological children are doing exploits in several spheres of life. Quiet time is a good disciplinary measure that one must take in order to soar higher and do greater things.
In conclusion, quiet time is not a luxury but a necessity for anyone who desires growth, clarity, and purpose. It is a discipline that must be intentionally cultivated despite the distractions of modern life. Whether for spiritual enrichment, mental development, or decision-making, the benefits of quiet time cannot be overstated. As we encourage others—especially the younger generation—to embrace this practice, we must also model consistency ourselves. Over time, the seeds sown in quietness will produce a life of wisdom, strength, and lasting impact.
Thanks so much for reading through my entry for this edition.
