Create in Constraints

So life got us here!

It locked us down in our homes, and we all are complaining because now we cannot complain anymore on a wednesday evening how badly we want to go home.

Robert frost said two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not take both. Well, two roads diverged for us in a yellow wood long back, we chose this road, and sorry but it led us to this.

Now that we are surrounded by the echoes of our deeds, what we can do next is to make this whole situation look a little less of a crisis.

I like to look at this halt in our lives as pit stops for our cars.

It is indeed commendable that humans as a species are coming together to fight this, instead of fighting with each other.

One of the biggest lessons learned is there is no same tomorrow, that is to say, that there is a tomorrow but not how you planned it to be. And that no matter how much you like to see things turn out exactly the way you planned, at times it just won’t. And you will have to rethink and re-plan all over again. Sometimes you just do not need to plan, because having no plan gives you this sense of flexibility. The freedom of changing your course of action anytime you wish to and in coordination with the way events unfold around you. So it is okay if you are off your schedule today. Revamp, restructure, re-plan or just go with the flow.

When my plan went for a toss, the trail of thought that followed was – What is my purpose if I don’t have a plan? and what would I do with my life if I will never have the same routine?

To find a deeper meaning of life, since ages people have isolated themselves. Well, we all have been isolated. Maybe we won’t be able to find a deeper meaning of life, but hopefully, we all would be able to find “the meaning of our lives”.

And even if we are not successful in doing that, we all would definitely be able to identify questions that are worth searching for answers.

Create something new, create something ordinary and feel good about it, create positive energy and most importantly create the new you.

Create till you are filled with questions and create till you feel that maybe now you are on the path of discovering answers.

The best art has always been created in constraints. When there is a lack of resources, people come up with award-winning sustainable ideas, when there was a constraint on the subject that can be painted, the renaissance movement started. So now that we all are constrained by space, look for what you can create!

When our options are reduced, we are able to focus on the things that we have, and when that happens, the next thing that follows is magic!
