Do you remember how happiness came instantly whenever you painted or played your favourite sport in your childhood? Your mood would instantly light up. I am sure whenever you remember those times, you feel overwhelmed.
Don’t you miss that sometimes?
Well, I am sure we all do from the bottom of our hearts.
In today’s times, we all are rushing for one thing or another. The human race is too busy adapting to the changes in their lives personally as well as professionally. There is a rush everywhere and in everything. Taking out time for one’s own self seems a struggle looking at the present scenario.
“Humans these days are too busy searching for greatness that they have lost themselves.”
In this whole process to achieve great milestones, we have killed the little things that once made us happy. The importance of these little things lacks in most of us as we often underestimate their influence.
One such thing is the importance of Hobbies.
What is a hobby?
It is a term that we all are well aware of. Since childhood, we have been asked this one question “What is your hobby?” and our answer was quick to back then. But if the same question is asked now, we might think for a minute or two before answering.
“Hobby any activity that makes you happy.”
