𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘁!!!

I recently visited Malabar Hills, Mumbai. Once I was done with my meeting, I sat on a bench installed on the recently opened glass viewing deck. The sun had set, and the cold breeze made me momentarily forget that it was summer.

As I gazed at the horizon and back, I noticed a 3 storeyed building, nestled comfortably between the growing number of skyscrapers. My eyes fell on the balcony of a house on the 2nd floor. The resident had hung fairy lights, kept beautiful plants, and had some cozy cane furniture to relax.

The setup was so inviting that the penthouses and luxurious lobbies of the modern infrastructure lost their lustre in front of this simple DIY balcony in an approximately 3-decade-old structure.

This reminded me of something that I had read in ‘The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari by Robin Sharma –

“𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆, 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘂𝗺 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻. 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗮 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗮 𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀, 𝗮 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗲𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹.”

No matter where you live and whatever your means, you can always carve a small space for yourself to go when you are feeling low or spent.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗣𝗢𝗩 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘂𝘀 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲. Well said, Robin Sharma!
