Leisure

Life does not treat you fair always, but that doesn't necessarily mean that life is unfair towards you. Life teaches you great many things, and one of them is throwing challenges at you in the form of free time. Be it the weekends or the time you are free from work or those days of holidaying in the mountains or the beaches. Although it may be true that you are so stressed up at work or worn out facing your daily challenges life throws at you without any remorse, you could always use these free time to pursue your passion.

If you are someone who could pen down a great ballad given a pen and a quiet place, what could be a better place than those cool hillocks you go out holidaying or a better time than a weekend which you could pass by cycling to the nearest beach or a quite serene place and write down to your heart's content. Same goes if you are a creative artist or a voracious reader. Technology though a boon if used properly has almost made most of our lives so monotonous that we use our fingers as a mechanical gadget that specializes in scrolling down pages and pages of content not worth our time on social media. The end result, our fingers work more than our brain and when we sit down to write something, we struggle to remember things that we read somewhere, not something out of our own soul.

We can always turn our lives back to those golden days, provided we follow just three rules. I mean just three rules and that too something easy and which we are capable of. First, get out of social media. Yes, I mean it. It's time we stop shelling out our time for the profit of Mark Zuckerberg and turn it for our own good. I am not saying we need to close down or deactivate our Facebook or Instagram or Twitter accounts. There are no better platforms which can gather audiences than these. Use this to our advantage, write travel blogs or whatever that interests you and build a base. Prepare YouTube videos which could help out others when they visit a new place. 

Secondly, Travel. Travel a lot instead of lazing down on your comfy sofa and watching movies or soap operas. Travel brings out the creative part in you. Meet new people, experience new things, bring out that "out of the box" thinker in you. I assure you travel could be the catalyst that could turn you into a better person.

And finally, discipline. When we say we will do the first two things mentioned here, we will keep it up. If you can't keep up, ask someone to fall back on you. Ask your best friend to keep track of your time. Believe me, that's how I moved out of this monotonous life and brought out that dormant creative part of me. I had always been good with my pen and pencil until my electronic beeping machine wreaked havoc in my life. It does feel good, trust me and lead a better life. Nothing is too late, amigos.

Have a great life ahead.
