What do I next Mumma? My daughter asks. I suggest a new activity to keep her busy. After an hour again she has the same question.
This must be happening with many of us after intervals. It's not that difficult to be busy, there are so many options. But on broader view studies say there has been exclusive use of YouTube, half of the population is watching web series, Tik Tok. People are more into entertaining self-phase than learnings or studying.
Let us not think for time being, have a broader view. Think about what you want to do once the lockdown is called off. Where you want to be. What are the changes you would like to see around, see in yourself? We are still not completely recovered to call off the lockdown. None of us are aware as of now how long this can stretch. How to deal with this limitless free time. Let me narrate a story with the same reference
Once, Lord Indra due to some reason got upset with Farmers, and out of anger he almost cursed the farmers that there will be no rain for 12 years & they won’t be able to produce crops.
Farmers begged Lord Indra to take back his words, after repetitive requests Indra finally said, it will rain only if Lord Shiva plays his Damru. On the other hand, he secretly convinced Lord Shiva to play it after 12 years. Farmers when requested lost Shiva, he mentioned the same. Disappointed Farmers had no option but to wait 12 years for rain.
One of the farmers was regularly digging, treating & putting manure in the soil & sowing the seeds even when no crop was emerging. Other Farmers were making fun of him. One day they finally asked him why he was wasting his time and energy when he knew that rains will not come before 12 years.
He replied “I know that crop won’t come out but I’m doing it as a matter of “practice”. After 12 years I will forget the process of growing crops and working in the field, so I must keep doing it so that I’m fit to produce the crop the moment there is rain”
Hearing this Goddess Parvati said to Lord Shiva “You may also forget playing the Damru after 12 years!” the innocent Lord Shiva in his anxiety just tried to play the Damru, to check if he could….and hearing the sound of Damru there was rain and the farmer who was regularly working in the field got his crop emerged immediately while others were disappointed.
It is the practice that keeps us perfect. The practice is the essence of quality survival.
So, keep sharpening your skills, practice with what you have, upgrade your skills and knowledge. Focus on your skills today, so that you are ready to meet the challenges and get the best results.
Make the best use of this free time, it's testing time and it will pass with a better tomorrow. Think what is that, which holds you back at times, something which you lack and is important for growth. You will be surprised when the lockdown opens up having you more enriched and brighter.
Read a lot, enrich your mind and your thoughts, Learnings never go waste, so learn and learn. Join online courses. Start reading, develop skills.
Its the right time to stay close to books and knowledge while we follow social distancing .
