Certainly everyone at one time or another encounters
dark clouds and storms in his life which threaten to
wreck his emotions and attitude. To start changing
there are three robbers you have to put in jail. Their
names are Mr. Pride, Mr. Anger and Mr. Hatred.
Another perspective to look into is to forget yourself
unto greatness. Man must lose himself to find himself.

I personally feel, the place where you contemplate life, is the place you will be living in.
It may backfire if you go somewhere else with different living conditions, experiences etc,
only to come back to the place where you will face reality, which may be different.
Why not try to find the quiet and peacefulness in you locally? It could be here.
You should go to a place without any distractions. A monastery perhaps.
To contemplate and reflect about your life is not
by taking a two months trip to remote places with
your camera in the aim of capturing beautiful scenery,
people and their activities.
To find out who you are, the first thing is to find
out how you can live right. The current pursue of
pleasure, entertainment, sightseeing etc can jolt
you from achieving what you intend to achieve.
You must adjust your thinking right now in the
aim of finding out who made you so that you start
to reinforce your mind with excellent perspective
of your life.
Somehow you may have certain people who had came
into your life at various time but they didn't help
made or break your perspective.

So if you have decided to take a break by getting away
let the time and the journey be not in the state of
anxiousness and picture taking expectations. Instead
have your goal on human connections. Sincere and
real connections starts with the heart. To me this is
one real purpose of life.
Hey,He's probably referring to the Himalayas. Or i'm just presuming.
India - I'd go to Uttaranchal, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh
That's really nicely written, but I think it really helps to get away from everything for a while. When we are in unfammiliar surrondings we discover other parts of ourselves that we didn't know before. We can look at our everyday life from a distance and from a different perspective... Travelling opens your mind and changes who you are as a person.:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
I don't agreeAgree with this too :thumbsup:
Heard some people contemplate their daily life every night just before sleeping. I can't do that yet, most of the time I lay down it is too tiring to think about anything :sweat:
I don't agree
Travelling changes the way you see reality. You never come back the same person from your travels. You can actually see your current circumstances in a different light after you come back.
It usually helps people, not the other way round. Maybe there is something you need to change in your life, but when you stay at the same place all the time, you are not able to see it.
But we are talking about real travelling here - getting to know the place and the people, learning about their culture etc. If you go for a 2 week holiday to a nice resort, well... that's a different story I don't think it will teach you anything.
I would still go to Ladakh and not Tibet. The original Buddhist culture is better preserved in Ladakh than in Tibet, and there's no politics like the rubbish that the Chinese are doing in Tibet. There are 3 Han Chinese to each Tibetan. Most of the monks are now refugees in Ladakh or Dharamsala. As much as I'd love to recommend Tibet , I don't think it's the best place to contemplate life. The PRC is notorious for torturing Tibetans since 1950. The number of original monasteries built before 1950 has fallen from around 6,000 to something like 13 or 14.
Hello, krishna91. I see where you come from, and I agree with you on the political situation in Tibet. As much as I feel injustice for the native Tibetans, I would perhaps like to express that if anyone were to go to Tibet for so-called contemplation, or to see the real Tibet, don't stay too long in the big cities like Lhasa or Shigatse. These are too politically moulded.
There are so many other small towns that are still very much un-touched.
And for the TS, I am referring to these.
