BLESSINGS OF HOBBIES

No matter how calm you think you are, your mind is always restless and ready to think of something or the other at all times. Be it consumed with some situation or empty with nothing significant, it will still roam here and there thinking about things which might be of no value. We always need something to fill our leisure time in between the hectic schedule of our life. This is completed by the hobbies that help us swim away from all our deep thoughts and worries for some time at least. Hobbies are something that we lean towards, effortlessly, due to our interests and positive feelings that develop within while we engage in certain activities.

Usually, people don’t like to work and put effort into anything and want everything to be done with ease. But 'hobby' is a category under which every work is welcomed by an individual, whatever be the effort required to execute it.

Today everyone is running after studies and streams that are not even meant for them. All a person is craving for is money, fooling himself with the lie that it will get him the ultimate satisfaction he wants. Even after you have minted a lot of coins for yourself, your ultimate satisfaction will be filled by the things that you like to do the most. If money is the only thing that makes you happy and there is nothing else that you like doing, then go for it, else you are missing few points here and there as you run along with other people in this endless race of life.

Again, most people are after money as a necessity to run their lives, and not because money is their ultimate passion. But in that process, people forget what they always desired, and along with that their hobbies also slowly die. Few people get to relive their lives after a certain time when the realization hits them, but it’s not the same for everyone. Everyone is not that lucky.

The things you like to do or you aim for are always related to your hobbies, even if not directly, you will see that your hobbies are alive when you are on the path of pursuing the things you always wanted. Make yourself as a test subject and think for a bit, and you will find the answer within. Both your desires and hobbies work hand in hand, just stick onto your hobbies to heal yourself when required, and you will pursue whatever you truly desire in your life. Same way, if you just keep your mind straight and work towards whatever you truly desire in your life, your hobbies will remain alive side by side, without even you having to think about that.

Few people might contradict from my above statements, and I am fine with that. Your lives might have been filled with hardships, and you might have been forced into situations, jobs or responsibilities that you never wanted, but why let everything remain gloomy? If there is negativity in life, make some space for your forgotten hobbies and let it help you go through all the bad moments of your life.

I believe that a good hobby like singing, writing or anything else, that doesn’t cost you more than your leisure time is a very healthy way to heal yourself. I write because it helps me clear my mind, and it’s a hobby I am developing gradually to keep me on my path of pursuing greater things in life.

Detoxification of mind is a very essential need for everyone, and what better can it be than a stress-relieving hobby? Give a thought on whatever you just read here and make space for the hobbies you have in your daily life. It might seem trifle and might not yield anything from your perspective, but that's the habit which will keep your mind clear while you work on achieving your goals. 

Never let your hobbies die and it will help you live your life in a better way!
