Read about the benefits of having a vacation home and how it can help you rejuvenate and stay happy.
Being successful in life attains perfection only if you are at peace, happy and healthy with your family, if you are able to give quality time to yourself and your family if you get to pursue your hobbies, and if you are in touch with all your friends.
Sounds impossible to achieve?
Well, to understand success and life today, one should reflect, on the million-dollar question:
Am I happy today the way I live?
The loud reply from within is very likely to be: I may be successful however I feel claustrophobic in this concrete jungle
Regimented in a 9 to 5 schedule, nose deep in the rat race barely breathing.
Living a lifeless life, isolated from self and family with no smile on my face.
So, in our rat race of chasing success in one form or another, we feel the need to rejuvenate ourselves, in frequent intervals, and the best rejuvenation plan your money can buy is a vacation home.
Why a Vacation Home?
A vacation home gives you what routine life in a bustling city cannot. Here are the challenges city life throws at you:
1. Always in the madding crowd
2. Suffocating from pollution
3. Missing Meditative bliss
4. No lush greens to soothe
5. Smog cover, the background noise of blaring horns, and urban cacophony
6. Mornings greeted by a loud alarm clock and calling bells
7. No options of farm-fresh organic fruits and veggies on the platter – only fast food and reheated pre-cooked meals
8. Metalled and potholes-ridden roads for activities like walking, jogging, swimming in concrete pools, having yoga & workout sessions in the crummy city gyms, and yoga classes
9. Impossible to pursue hobbies as kite flying, angling, trekking, bicycling, skating, skateboarding, hiking, and introducing the next generation to them
10. Time crunch to conduct DIY sessions to teach your kids problem solving, values of life, the value of labor
11. Depriving kids of opportunities to discover wonder on their own with activities such as how to use a north compass, a sextant, or even stargaze in the shrinking skylines and horizon
12. Cannot merge philosophy with real life
13. Not possible to practice conservation of air, water, power, flora, and fauna for living well
14. No bird watching in the concrete jungle
15. No spending of time together as a family with indoor games, participative games as dumb charades to improve interrelation capabilities and communicative skills
16. Suffering from obesity due to the habits of being a couch potato either with the idiot Box or a smartphone
17. Lack of promotion of self and family togetherness through a barbecue session followed by a bonfire owing to space crunch
18. Becoming irresponsible and uncaring about each other
19. No offering of prayers in a family huddle
20. Having no permanent address in place so that you can getaway at the drop of a hat on a Friday night.
All this is best accomplished once you have a regular address of a getaway as you need not wreck your brain planning to go to a crowded holiday destination without any real-time benefit of rejuvenation, i.e., in other words jumping from the frying pan to fire.
