Nothing
Stillness
Tranquility
Calmness
Silence
How many of you are able to do nothing?
How many of you are able to say nothing?
How many of you are able to be nothing?
How many of you are able to sit with yourselves and evaluate the quality of your thoughts?
Why is it that we must always be doing something to be worthy?
Why is it that we must always be saying something to be worthy?
Why is it that our worth is automatically attached to us engaging in some form of action?
Success

Why is the value of silence undermined?
Why is the value of rest undermined?
Why is the value of nothing undermined?
Why is time given such importance?
What is time really?
Why are achievements the only thing which forms part of your worth?
How would you feel if you were told that you are not your titles?
How would you feel if you were told that you are not your educational qualifications?
How would you feel if you were told that you are not your family?
Shocked
Or
Relieved
These things don't define you
You are your soul
You are the Brahman
You are an extension of God
You are a means for the universe to achieve a goal
You are a means for the universe to express itself
You are a means for the universe to sustain itself
This is who you really are
A part of the Divine
You are the Divine
So rest
Be unapologetic about it
Be unapologetic about being a non conformist
Be unapologetic about taking time out for yourself
Be unapologetic about taking time out to nourish your soul
Be unapologetic about taking time out to replenish your energy
Be unapologetic about being free of thought
Be unapologetic about basking in the light
Above all
Be unapologetic about your role as an extension of God
