The past few weeks have been challenging for the whole world. Every crisis - however hard - can be turned into an opportunity.
It could be understanding ourselves better, figuring out our weaknesses, learning to keep the optimism levels high (even when we don’t feel like it). As we navigate through the lows, let’s remember to make the best use of this period.
For some of us, the lockdown would have come as the worst nightmare while for others it has brought the much-needed ‘me-time’ to explore ourselves and enhance our skills. It’s all about our perspective. We found hope and strength in these quotes by Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. We hope they will keep you going as well.
