Power of saying “pause” to life
Journal Title: Open Journal of Psychiatry & Allied Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 10, Issue 1
Abstract
The realisation of the essence of life can sometime come from “pause”. Introspection leads to newer understanding. Opportunities need to be appreciated. Every moment of this precise life can be enjoyable and most of them are the simple things. Meaningful and memorable life has the ability to turn the ordinary to the extraordinary.
