Take Time To Rejuvenate

Run run and just run! It seems like a rat race going on in the entire world. Fast lives, no rest, no stopping and there is no place for anyone like tortoise only hares and everyone’s lives are going haywire. Mounting pressures from professional and personal lives. Undoubtedly humans have evolved and progressed to a great extent but have also invited more unrest and troubles for themselves. Everyone is striving hard to build up their bank balances and provide a life of security and luxury to their loved ones.

But the question arises when everyone is running his own race and doing well then why is there a constant feeling of discontent and distress. Moreover why many of us surrender ourselves to deadly habits and unhealthy lifestyle. It’s true that ‘Work is worship but even more important is Health is wealth. Health includes not just physical but also mental and spiritual well being. We might  be rich but to enrich our lives is up to us. I know it seems next to impossible to take out time for ourselves. But losing ourselves and the precious relationships is more costing for our well being and existence. It becomes paramount to keep ourselves wise, sturdy and empowered to confront the gigantic evils arising out of situations and our own lack of will power.

Many of us live with this perception that wealth is the key to happiness and prosperity. The irony is those who have it seem to be more discontented in their lives than those who don’t. The almighty made everyone equal and that every being is in a quest to fulfill physical, intellectual and spiritual needs. Keeping the latter two needs in mind which mostly remain unattended, a huge variety of havens have come up which caters to varying preferences and requirements.
