In ancient civilisations there were two thoughts . One thought was that outide world and universe have immense potential and possibility. Most of the Europe fell in this category. They believed that beauty is outside everywhere. You need to discover and create to give happiness. And so we had beautiful architecture, fashion, cuisine, drinks, art, music, literature etc.
There were other civilisations which believed that real strength and happiness lies within. These were Eastern civilisations like Japan, China and mainly India. Techniques like meditation, Yoga, Pranayam etc were discovered and perfected.
Being an Indian, there is a great influence of our tradition on me. It is advised that for some part in a day, one must spend some time with his inner self to reflect and ponder on one’s learnings and experiences of the day. This clears the mind, declutters it, brings in peace and prepares it to deal with next day with more focus.
So everyday in midst of addiction of mobile , facebook, youtube, I try to find myself and spend sometime with my innerself. Though the moments are few but they are precious and timeless. I look forward towards cutting time on electronic media and spend more time with me.
Very well said…🙌🏼. I think everyone should spend little time with themselves…💕
