What is life all about? Is it about the sleep-deprived mornings and half-eaten breakfast? Is it about rushing to your workplace while fighting through jam packed roads? Or is it about worrying about the boss, the spouse, the parents, the kids, the grand kids and all those people in our lives whom we are so hell-bent on pleasing? When each one of us first stepped into this world, surely, our first thought wasn't "Oh boy! I can't wait to dance to the tune of others while going through the mundane routines of life!"
When we first opened our eyes, a plethora of emotions and feelings flooded our senses. We saw shapes and we noticed different colours; we took in the scents and felt textures; we heard different sounds and saw different faces. It was a wonderful experience - magical, even. But it seemed that the ways of the world stole that magic. In this hustle of life, most of us seemed to have forgotten how to live. The magic may be lost-but it isn't too hard to find!
Being the writers to our life's own book, we must embark on journeys that feed our soul.
Stop looking, start noticing
Don't just look at trees, lakes, meadows, or even oceans. Take the time to appreciate the majestic beauty of god's own creations! Get away for the weekend. Or the week. Or month. Or maybe an entire year! Every city, every state and every nation has different things to offer. There are countless possibilities of how you can stop looking and start noticing!
Go on an Adventure!
It isn't particularly hard to feel, as they say - On Top of the World. Go to the land of high passes! A place bounded by mountains and made up of meandering valleys and lakes. Leh Ladakh is the name of this mystical place. Go ahead, get a camera and capture that breathtaking landscape that awaits you there! For a moment, just stand quietly and take in your incredible surroundings. Breathe that pure air and feel that cool breeze against your skin. It truly makes you feel alive.
Treat your palate!
With the various diverse cultures that the world has to offer, come different exotic cuisines that are just begging to be savoured. Go to Spain and discover the amazing local gastronomy there! From the world famous Iberico ham to Tapas and Pintxos, and from awesome food markets in Catalonia to great wines like Rioja, Spanish cuisine has something for everyone. For those football fans out there, don't miss a chance to visit the Real Madrid Stadium out there!
Retreat from the hectic city life to the countryside
The Earth, preserved in its original form can by best observed when one takes a peek at this bucolic form of life. Visit, say, the beautiful countryside of Italy. It boasts of a serene, picturesque landscape that offers peace to the soul. There are farmlands and even vineyards- growing grapes, oranges, lemons and even olives. If you are lucky, you might catch a glimpse of shepherds taking out their cattle and sheep to graze out there.
Live Your Life to the Fullest
Be it the beautiful countryside of Italy, the awe-inspiring views offered by Leh Ladakh, or even the exquisite culinary experience of Spain, try out everything! Your life is, indeed, what you make it. You've got one life to live. Make it an adventure, will you?
They say your life flashes before your eyes before it is over. Make sure the show is totally worth watching.
