In his book Stillness is the Key, Ryan Holiday writes that "The call to stillness comes quietly. The modern world does not."
We've got so many things fighting for our attention on a daily basis.
Work, family responsibilities, financial worries, seeing everything that's wrong with the world on the news.
But who has the power to stop? Or time to think?
The 17th-century philosopher and mathematician Blaise Pascal noted that "The unhappiness of man arises from one simple fact: that they cannot sit quietly in their chamber."
I feel most happy when I'm calm and peaceful on the inside.
That's why I'm interested in living with intention. Slow living, minimalism, things of that nature.
The state of mind where I feel grounded, balanced.
That does more for my well-being than anything external.
Whether it's traveling, an amazing dish in a restaurant, or Oasis reuniting.
Although that last one is a close call!
I am sure I speak for many people when I say: Noel, can you just please get over yourself and get back on the stage with Liam?!
