🔒 Lockdown or 🔓 Unlock?

 

 

This piece isn’t just for reading—it’s for reflecting.

The lockdown was more than a pause in motion; it was a reset. A period that threw routines out the window and ushered in unfamiliar, sometimes uncomfortable innovations. Whether it was remote classes, virtual meetings, reimagined business models, or managing household chores without the usual support—everyone faced hurdles. But in facing those hurdles, we unearthed fresh ways of doing things.

Even age-old rituals—particularly religious ones that demand strict adherence to materials, steps, and timing—found space for grace. When constraints tightened, intent loosened the binds of tradition. The emphasis shifted from blind action to heartfelt purpose.

In truth, the lockdown was a lesson in de-learning. We were invited to unlearn rigidity and welcome reinvention. Flexibility, once seen as compromise, transformed into wisdom.

🪄 Takeaway:

We don’t always need the perfect setting to do what matters. Intent, adaptability, and the courage to evolve often outshine old rules. So, whether in a ritual or a routine, ask not “How do I follow this?” but “What is my purpose in doing this?”
