Travelling not just widens a person’s horizons but also enlightens the individual as he gets exposed to the panorama of natural beauty. The more he distances himself from the urban milieu, the more attuned he gets with his soul. The landscape beguiles him to seek repose, peace and tranquility.
Tranquility: It resonates with my blog, right! I started this venture to give coherency to my thoughts and feelings which often went unexpressed due to lack of time and work commitments. Wondering why did I deviate from the topic? This is so because peace is somehow intertwined with everyone’s routine. After a rough day at work, you look for the missing piece that ultimately shirks off the exhaustion.
If you have not yet discovered your tranquil nook, you can begin your quest now. Take for example travelling. Travelling with a loved one not only brings you closer but also helps you connect with your inner self better. You may start out as a tourist and gradually slip into the role of a traveller.
Even a tourist spot can become a traveller’s haven if you start exploring with someone of the same wavelength. Someone who may be as peculiar as you but one who shares the same inkling, the wanderlust to know what is beyond; beyond the human periphery.
You may have heard- “Friends who travel together, stay together.” Well, it’s not just another social media post. It is literal in every sense. While travelling, you are exposed to the wilderness. It ultimately brings your true nature to the fore, which you may otherwise try to hide under a façade of forced pleasantries.
When you have company, ‘we’ should always come before ‘I’. While encountering a difficult situation, take pause and reflect; if you have made it this far, you will sail through with a little more effort. Losing hope now would do no good, rather make it worse.
The problem with us is that we easily get perturbed by even the slightest change. This comfort zone skyrockets our egos to an extent that we leave little to no scope for understanding. Being resistant to change adversely affects our personal growth, for we are not ready to accept the new. And without innovation, we will remain stuck to age-old practices, still unable to come to terms with reality.
Travelling with a companion helps you understand their temperament while trying to subjugate yours. You get to see their other side, with their guards down. This side may not necessarily be pleasant. But don’t you think with your own guard down, you will be vulnerable to similar temperament?
Everyone loves the positive side of a person and gets appalled by the negative traits. But aren’t you susceptible to same characteristics? The day you start accepting both the sides of a person, is the day you will feel affectionate towards them. Not to mention, they have accepted your flaws too.
Spending time with someone you connect on a spiritual level, is a cherishing experience. While the highs make you appreciate each other’s abilities, the lows make you realize that you are accepted even at your worst. The very act of confiding sets foundation of a strong friendship wherein you can speak your heart, teach, learn and grow together.
So whenever possible, plan a short trip to a nearby hill station, beach or historical monument. It will not only calm your nerves but also give a different outlook towards life, wherein your problems will appear meagre. The journey of patience will ultimately yield the sweet fruit of arriving at the favourable destination.
