Stillness Is the Key by Ryan Holiday

The beauty was that these creations and insights came from a
better—a stiller—place inside both men. They weren’t doing it to
prove anything. They didn’t need to impress anyone. They were in
the moment. Their motivations were pure. There was no insecurity.
No anxiety. No creeping, painful hope that this would finally be the
thing that would make them feel whole, that would give them what
they had always been lacking.
What do we want more of in life? That’s the question. It’s not
accomplishments. It’s not popularity. It’s moments when we feel like
we are enough.
More presence. More clarity. More insight. More truth.
More stillness.
