She sells sea shells by the seashore...

This childhood tongue twister comes to mind every time I visit the seaside... and I wonder what bliss it would be to live by the sea.

For as long as I can remember, beaches and sea sides have been my go-to option for a relaxing holiday. ?As I enjoy my solitude on the beach, with the cool sea breeze providing welcome respite from the long summer day, the sea seems to speaking to me revealing its secrets....

Nothing is constant?

As I wade in the water, I am awed by the realization that the wave that just touched my ankle will never again touch me. Life is full of fleeting moments. Let's learn to enjoy the journey and not wait for the big milestones.?

Power of positivity

The continuous dance of the waves touching and receding from the shoreline, seem to remind never to stop doing what you have set out to do. Don’t let temporary setbacks stop you from getting to your goal; leverage challenges as opportunities to grow and evolve.?

Embrace change

The sea takes on various moods every day and every phase of the day – at times it is stormy and wild; at other times quiet and serene.??It is the ups and downs in life which make it interesting.? Embrace change and accept each day as it comes.?

There are no boundaries?

In school geography, we learnt about the four oceans – the Pacific, the Atlantic, the Indian and the Arctic oceans.? The truth is, there’s only one ocean, because all the oceans across the earth run into each other. Step away from artificial silos and boundaries; accept diversity because what looks different is not really so.?

Don’t over-complicate things?

As I walk barefoot on the warm sand with the cool breeze playfully blowing my hair, all my cares seem to disappear and my mind is calm. Let us consciously simplify things whether at work or in our personal life – the sea teaches us how little a person really needs to be happy.?

So next time when you are feeling lost and troubled, take a deep breath, relax and reflect upon some of these insights to put your life into perspective.??

All you need is a good dose of Vitamin Sea!?
