Silence is not very highly valued in modern culture. In communication, it seems that we value quantity above all.

And in the digital World it only gets easier to add your voice, whether e-mailing or snapchatting or podcasting or hash-tagging. We live in an age distinguished by noise. Not silence.

As a believer, you are put in a position to influence those around you. The power of your words can be used to build up or tear down.

When you think about walking with the dreamers, the believers, the creative types, the planners, the doers, the remarkably successful people with their heads in the clouds and their feet on the ground, you get excited. 

You want to jump on the wagon, join the party. You let their spirit ignite a fire within you to leave this World better than when you found it.

Successful people have been working hard and quietly. The actual process of achieving remarkable success, is discreet (and underappreciated). 

But it is this gradual process that happens quietly, behind-the-scenes, that makes all the difference in the World.
