Lock down experience

Hi Friends,

Hope you all are having a good time.

Here I am writing an article on LinkedIn which relates to my lockdown experiences. Please spare a few minutes to give it a read and feel free to share your thoughts, I would love to hear and engage. Here I am sharing two small experiences which I had during the lockdown in 2020. Hope it will add a little value to you.

The first one relates to giving freedom to a bird. Fortunately, to this day, I have freed two birds in my life.

Once I saw a little bird on our terrace. Its one leg was caught up in a thread. It could take small steps with one leg being in that situation. I came up with an idea to free it from the thread. I along with my friend helped the bird to get free from the thread. I held the little bird and my friend removed the thread slowly from its leg and now it could fly but to a small distance only. Now Its mother could feed it every day very easily. In the evening I used to play with it. After few days it was able to fly to more distance and it flew away.

The second one relates to a dry plant.

Once in the morning, I saw a plant at our terrace totally dried. The soil was dehydrated, leaves were turning yellowish. I immediately watered the plant. Though I water the plants every day, a few days back the temperature had gone up, and it got dried. In the evening leaves of the same plant were turned green. This experience made me realize the life within plants very deeply.

I have experienced things very differently in the lockdown. Though things have not been fine externally but in my personal experience, I have been able to add a little value to my life during the lockdown. Whenever situations are not favorable to us, we also get the opportunity to Re-think, Re-align and Re-design our actions so that we can come up with something new to add value in our lives and in the lives around us.

So, let's make use of adverse situations and focus on turning adversities into opportunities. I understand it may sound like "It's easier said than done" but I believe if we show a little willingness to focus on opportunities. We can do wonders in our life.

I have attached a picture also of me doing exercise and the bird is on my leg :)

Thank you so much for reading.

Love & wishes to you all.
