It doesn’t. It comes from listening. The problem is, most of us never stop long enough to hear anything useful: We fill every gap with noise. Podcasts. Opinions. Advice. Other people’s urgency. And then we wonder why we feel overwhelmed. Silence isn’t empty. It’s informative. When you slow down, patterns show up. When you stop reacting, better decisions surface. When you pause, the right next step becomes obvious. In business, the worst decisions are usually made in noise. The best ones are made in quiet. Not meditation on a mountain. Just space: - Space before replying. - Space before deciding. - Space before saying yes. You don’t need more information. You need fewer interruptions. Create silence. Then listen. That’s where clarity lives.
