Life is a process and everything we do, everywhere we go contributes
to our experience, making it wholesome. Gone are the days when we had to figure
out ways to comb the unexplored; for the transportation connectivity is only
going to become better. People of all ages these days, have a strong craving to
find out time to travel beyond borders to discover the other side.
I believe, every activity to which we expose ourselves and further
participate, somehow always adds-on to our understanding of the whole universe
and the way we get opportunities to evolve. Travelling is one such activity,
whereby a traveller goes into the wild, in order to come closer to the expanse
of universe which resides in his soul. Isn't it beautiful, just how change is
inevitably motivating?
Here are ten ways in which travelling helps us emotionally evolve:
1.
Helps us build
the lost connect: In our accelerated lives, where we find it easy to
connect with people from faraway places, but find it very difficult to
reconnect with our inner selves, travelling is one perfect solution to find
ourselves the calmness which has withered along with our hair & age. The
pressure of meeting deadlines and achieving over-whelming targets is making
everything lot worse.
2.
Helps us sort
out our lives: Life is simple, but, we untiringly keep making it
complicated. I remember, one of my professors once told me “It’s easy to
scribble lengthy and hard to comprehend verses, but it takes years of practice
to make it all simple”. That one thing still holds deep relevance to me and my
understanding of the world. Travelling
helps you in sorting-out the complicating thing called life and makes you more
hopeful for the galaxy full of possibilities lying ahead.
3.
Helps us
appreciate the raw beauty: With travelling I don’t intend to refer here the
mall-trips or five-star brunches; I'm here referring to travelling in real
time, in order to explore the unexplored or rediscover the once forgotten. In
our tightly-packed schedules, we invest most of our time in cribbing about
others and justifying our thoughts and opinions. But, when you travel leaving
behind the baggage of competition and occupational goals, you come across
nature; trees, beaches, rivers, birds, mountains which help you breathe better
and feel lighter.
4. Helps us become humble: Travelling brings us the opportunity of exploring and understanding that nature ultimately
does justice. Glowing vastness of nature makes us realize how small we are and
how huge is nature. And, that’s when we smile and laugh at our own petty exaggerations
of little thing which we did and others did back to us. Thus, travelling helps
achieve the rarest of rare virtues; humility.
5. Helps us listen our true calling: Most people
end up accidentally in the careers they pursue all their lives. Everybody is creative, but most people lose connect with their creative capacities before even
pursuing the exploration process. Why? Because they waste their lives doing and
becoming what others expect them to. But, travelling helps us get away from all
the showbiz hustle and help us meet our raw-selves and thereby hear our true
calling.
6. Helps us value the offline world: Travelling
helps us in understanding how living-on-the-internet, is pretty much ruining
our lives, ripping us off the opportunity of actually breaking the ice and
socialising. An ardent traveller will always have bucketful of such stories to
narrate, of how he/she made so many new friends, while travelling all by him/herself.
Offline socializing altogether enriches our life experience by bringing to us
ever-lasting moments of joy and laughter, whereas online socialising sometimes
makes you feel insecure, for the virtual moments are momentary.
7. Helps us break-free from our cobwebs and breathe: If you are a traveller
or you happen to have friends who love travelling, you will better understand
how travelling helps you breakthrough the circle and see the world outside.
8. Helps us feel empowered: Travelling also
happens to be a way of expressing and living the desire of freedom. Don’t you
happen to have a wide funny smile on your face whenever you are about to embark
on your journey. The very idea of travelling and exploring fuels-in hope and
joy.
9. Helps us become more decisive: Indecisiveness,
happens to one of the many common weaknesses. Making right decisions at the
right time is the trick that does it all. While travelling, we often come across
hurdles and confusing routes, following the gut instinct firmly saves a lot of
time and energy. Thus, it wouldn't be wrong to say that decisiveness is a
quality that we inherit in moments of extreme.
10. Helps us become more considerate and responsible: Sometimes, the
sole purpose of travelling is to get away from everyday disturbances. Most of
us have lost patience for everybody is most concerned for themselves and later
for the rest. By travelling to new communities we in a way allow ourselves to
get touched with other people’s life and way of being. This altogether makes us
more considerate and responsible human beings.
But to let all of these good things to happen, you must stay away
from the pocket-idiot-screen; Phone. Happy Travelling!
