These days , I have been feeling very left out, with so many things going on in life, such that I am not able to spare time for my ownself & contribute to my personal growth. The reasons are plenty, but to sum up, the excessive work load, & the pending family compulsions. This issue is pushing me to ponder upon a very important issue of maintaining the healthy work life balance, & connecting with yourself.
No one can be as close to you than yourself, & one must feed one's own innerself to feel nourished, & enriched. This is only possible if we give attention to our hobbies, pursue them, work out regularly, eat healthy food, try to practice spirituality, be active Socially( & not on Social Networking Sites)
When we are able to pursue extra-curricular activities, apart from our regular daily chores, then our mind will open up to a plethora of new opportunities. As i am writing these golden words, my mind has started feeling light & elated.
What has happened here is nothing but a feel good approach, & a promise, an assurance of better life if the above activities are followed. We at times are in such a hurry of completing our mundane tasks, that we forget to get our basics right. Its analogous to a situation, where a Car Driver is driving so fast & is in so much hurry that he doesn't have time to stop & re-fuel the car. Now, the question is that will the driver be able to reach his destination without fuel in the car.
Similarly, we are also blindly running towards our targets without taking cognizance of the fact of the path that we are following, forgetting the connection with our roots, not taking a pause in life to understand the real problem, which is why we are feeling so frustrated. When was the last time, when I reconnected with my friends & their families, I really don't remember. When did I give a call to my Granny who stays in the same house as mine, & spent some quality time with her.
All these things seem things which are far fetched & belong to past,(long back, even the past has also gone to a deep sleep). If we are able to keep a track of such small nitty gritties of life, then I think we shall always feel empowered & propelled towards excellence.
