As mentioned in my last post, my idea was to take a pause from writing till I really feel like writing and till I really have something to write. Days passed by, Thoughts did come, some events did occur which were thought provoking, but the thoughts never weaved into sentences. As they say, to be creative, one needs to be in a state of peace. And I was restless overworked and overwhelmed - with household chores to Official work, with chit chat at home to gossip at office, with running behind my son to running behind my progress at work. Just like I took pause from writing, I wanted to take pause from everything, where I could put the rat race on hold.
But then, it occurred to me that though "Pausing" is a great idea, but until and unless you think and reflect in that pause time, it is of no use. And elongated pause is equal to dead.
So, I decided to take pauses just like we take naps, with a resolution to take out time to think and reflect on the big questions of life and bigger priorities of life.
This pause helps me to take out time to tune in to my inner wise self.
And my inner wise self told me "Stop being busy for a short while and Start being the one who you came to be."
And one of the magical results is this post of mine. I found that extra hour, when I paused and the time slowed down for me to think, reflect and act, so that I resume to my daily chores with greater satisfaction.
"In life, the journey should be as interesting as the destination"
