Turn off that noisy mind. In the still silence, the world speaks to us in a way only our hearts can understand.
Recently, I was flying with my husband and two kids. We usually book all three seats in a row and the one adjacent to that row. My husband or I take that single seat. Only this time, the seats next to the single were vacant too.
Halfway through the 1-hour flight, the kids decided to hop on to the adjacent row where my husband was. It took me a while to realize I had hit a jackpot of 30 mins of “me” time out of nowhere. I slowly moved towards the aircraft window and settled comfortably, maintaining a blank expression. Well, the emotionless face to not give out any clue of my excitement to the kids. The joy of parenting little kids 🙃
There is always something magical about being at a high altitude: Everything appears small and insignificant from above — the roads, buildings, bridges, and the worries and fears of an anxious mind.
Watching the clouds up close across the airplane’s wings was so surreal. Beyond the breathtaking beauty of the vastness, the striking skyline caught my attention. The distinguished beam had perfectly succeeded in owning its boundaries!
The patch of dark clouds floating aimlessly appeared to come at me closer and closer until it suddenly disappeared into the unknown. Ah, the passing clouds!!
As I looked back at the horizon again, it had already dissolved into the magnificent. There were no traces of borders or darkness. The clear, radiant sky had painted itself blue in no time.
The unexplainable view of the clouds and the grand gesture of the sky inspired me to listen to the quiet!
It whispered to my heart: “There is no permanence to your life or any situation. When doubts and fears fog your thoughts, making you lose balance, know that they may as well be passing clouds. To dazzle like the majestic sky, you should gracefully endure the challenges and never give up. Break the barriers that pull you down, and in no time, you will watch your life blossom with a new meaning for a greater purpose!”
My wish for you today: Whatever your anxious mind is putting you through, turn it off and listen to the profound silence. The Universe is waiting to inspire with custom messages crafted just for you! 💗
