Helping others become even better versions of themselves
It’s good for us all to shut up shop.
Switch it all off.
Close the blinds, pull the duvet over and say ‘screw you world’.
Not often, but every so often, this allows a chance to breath, to relax, to be without any cares. A time to recharge a little, think, review, and allow some of the tensions of life to escape.
It’s even good to break the mundaneness of life’s rituals and routines.
Regularly, of course, it’s bad. But once in a blue moon, it’s good to be ‘closed for repairs’.
Today I’ve been on the train to Newcastle from London. It takes just over 3 hours.
Long enough to appreciate the simple joy of train travel.
I read, worked, listened to music, people watched, scenery watched, did some art and totally relaxed. Relaxed in a way you only can on a train.
Simple things bring joy, you won’t remember anything other than the most simple pure joys when we come to the end of own journey.
Life can be like a permanent train journey if we choose.
Get on a train.
