Meditation first of all is a very good thing but because they're are things around that might stop you from achieving the meditation stage. Another truth is meditation can also be a gift to some people, Why do i say this, They're people in this world who meditate even with the loudest noise around them they still maintain the focus. What is meditation? Meditation is a state of relieving yourself from stress at a metal level and helps us keep a healthy metal health. Meditation can also be an act of focusing your mind, your thoughts of mindfulness, It also helps you to calm your emotional stress at some level.

I have succeeded in giving us the meaning of meditation, I will love to answer this question which @ecotrain has asked, I will now direct the question to myself, By telling us why it is so hard to meditate from my perspective and perception, I can't meditate because of the noise pollution. What do I mean by noise pollution? The noise coming from every corner, I mean all around me won't give me the chance to meditate. Meditation is a thing of focus, I can't meditate when i have noise all around me because of the type of area i leave in, I can't really maintain the inner peace if i can't fight the outer one.

Sometimes, get angry while trying to meditate, why is that ? Because they're people who are around me creating unnecessary noise and that angers me a lot. There are so many things that might stop me from finding it hard to meditate.
Is what i just mentioned noise pollution, I can't meditate when there's noise around me, I also can't read while i got noise all around me.
I love pressing my phone, I can't meditate with my phone around me i won't concentrate because I am kinds addicted to my phone.
I can't stay in one position for too long, I feel that will stop me from meditating am very sure about that because meditation requires a lot of time and focus.
But my major concern which is going to stop me from meditating is the noise pollution.

Meditation is very essential for the human health especially mental health, it helps in calmness but all these, I can't really achieve this is where, I find it hard to meditate. I don't know what makes others find it hard but am speaking for myself and might likely speak generally.

Now, I will answer generally it is so hard to meditate because most times, we are in a noisy environment. Meditation doesn't need noise because you need to dwell in the chakra, your chakra has to connect, and to do that you need zero noise to achieve that process. You might find it hard to meditate if you are not a focused person, I mean when you can't be focused you can't be a person who can meditate, you might find it hard to meditate.
Meditation doesn't need you to be around multitude, it can never be possible to meditate with a multitude of noise and you might also find it so hard to meditate if you are a new parent that also can stop you from meditating. The Truth is most of us might find it so hard to meditate maybe because of our kind of area we live. Now we also have phone addict like myself, I mean it is so rampaged most people, I mean these generation they're so addicted so am sure they will find it hard to Meditate.
I feel willingness from the mind is a necessity when it comes to meditation, but many of us are not willing to do so.
have you ever tried listening to the noise.. going into it.. and accepting it? rather than trying to attain quietness? try to see how many different things you can hear.. maybe it helps...maybe at some point the noise stops becoming annoying..
