The 3-H Rule (2-minutes to read, a lifetime to reflect)

 In every adversity, there is a hidden opportunity. Covid-19 pandemic, a name that no one wants to hear anymore, and we have left it behind for good, this bad thing also had an opportunity to offer. It offered a hidden opportunity to learn certain important lessons of life. Well, I don’t know what others learned from this, but I learnt that about the three most significant things in my life. I call them the – ‘The 3-H Rule’.

Home: The first H stands for home. We found out during Covid that the safest and the most reassuring place in the world was Home, and family your biggest security. No five star or seven-star luxury could offer a similar level of comfort, reassurance, and security that one’s home and family could offer, no matter how humble the dwelling might be. So never forget your home and family for anything in this world. Remember in your worst times, they will stand by you, no matter if anyone else does or not.

Health: We have heard perhaps a million times that health is wealth, but the true meaning of it we realized during the pandemic. Tragically, so many people who had accumulated wealth over the years could not even use a penny before the pandemic overshadowed their existence. Hence, remember to put your health first. You can enjoy the money that you earn only when you have health to support the same. Never, not for anything in this world, put your health as second.

Happiness: It is never too late to pursue what you really love doing and follow your passion. So, if you think you are stuck in a boring job that you never wanted to do, and instead, you wish to pursue something else, take that leap. Success for me is happiness. If your achievements do not make you happy, your relationships are depressing you, they can never be called success. Pursue your happiness while not treading on the happiness of others. So that when finally, it’s time to hang one’s boots, there mustn’t be any regret – if only I would have done that, if only I would have made that choice, if only I would have listened to my heart…. Life is today and now! Go live it!

Follow the ‘3-H principle’ and you will have the time of your life in this big wide world. Happy living!
