Having a hard time in your life????
Life is full of problems, well, life will not be called 'life' if we never faced problems. Everyone has their own problems. Less grades, teen pressure, recent break-ups, blah blah blah can give you a hard time. Sometimes, you will be so miserable that you will be depressed, which can directly effect your daily productivity by a great extent.People will always to run away from this situations, but will end up getting deep into it. This situations can have consequences on your future. You have to counter it, you must snap out of this situations. Well, this is something that only you can do it, but solitude can dive you in deeper. Having people around might have a positive effect on your situation.
The thing that I Recommend is to go on a pilgrimage(travelling to a sacred or holy place). Pilgrimage can save your life in many positive ways. It will ruin your solitude and will help you to search your way out from depression.
People planning to go on a pilgrimage must know these things about it:
A) Seeking an answer
Something happened. Something confusing. Something that wasn’t in the plan.You have to get off the regular path. Try a new one. Try one that takes a bit of courage and discipline. To meet stranger along the way.
B) It takes time
I’m not a believer that you have to go to a far location.
But take time for yourself each day to do something you’ve never done before. Think about things you never thought about before.
Find the places in your life that you never looked before. They are there every day. The pilgrimage awaits.
Do a dare you never would have dared to before.
C) Struggle
Maybe some people find life easy. I don’t.
Life is filled with worries about money, about relationships, about (for me) kids, about decisions, about the people who hate you, who annoy you, who scare you. Anxieties, regrets.
Every pilgrimage begins with the struggle. And every journey is a struggle.
The struggle doesn’t stop. It just changes. It changes into one where you are lost to one where you have vision.
Where the struggle is not being trapped in the vision of others but for the unique impact that you want to create.
D) Benefits of a pilgrimage:
You see more clearly: Everything you see on a pilgrimage is different from “normal life”. Enjoy them. Learn from it. Even a single day, a single meeting, can be a pilgrimage. What is your takeaway from it.
You meet people. I like to pretend everyone has a fortune cookie to give me. A little bit stale, a little bit crunchy, with a folded message inside. Read it.
There’s an end. We’ve made pilgrimages too easy. We can go to a museum and see 2000 works of art.
It used to be that people would travel a 1000 miles to see one painting hanging up in a chapel. Then you can really appreciate what you see.
The more you appreciate the people, the things, the emotions around you, the more you are a pilgrim.
Come back changed. A pilgrim doesn’t just fly a plane from LA to NY. A pilgrim changes because of the journey. You do that by using your senses: listen more, see more, taste more, observe more.
The convenience of modern society comes at a price. It’s too difficult now to be a pilgrim because everything is two taps away on our phone.
There is an “otherness” to being disconnected for a bit. To search. To wander.
And finally, to give up looking. To surrender to the results.
