TRAVEL INSPIRATIONS

The best places to watch sunrise

Getting up early has never been more worthwhile

It’s time to establish a real connection between body, mind and soul. Especially in this time of COVID-19 when constant restrictions of all sorts may cause self-doubt and even depression.

From personal experience, I know just how difficult it can be to get up early. I’ve missed many sunrises because I chose to sleep in instead. Then again, on the mornings that I actually did make it in time, I could kick myself for the ones I’ve missed. 

To experience a sunrise is to receive the gift of a promise that holds true, no matter what our circumstances. Just like every person is not the same, every situation is not the same, so it is with the breaking of a new day. Every sunrise is different. That said, every sunrise has one thing in common. Namely, a new beginning. And that is the gift we get to receive. An opportunity to make a change, to start over, to try something new, or simply just to be and enjoy the glory of nature.

Don't compare your life to others. There's no comparison between the sun and the moon. They shine when it's their time.
