While the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak is a serious issue that the world is contending with, it has also given us the time to reflect on our lives during self-isolation. Anushka Sharma took to her Instagram handle to write a reflective note on what she is grateful for in life, and it will surely make you think!

Anushka Is Grateful For Basics That Many Struggle To Have

Sharing an adorable, happy picture with her husband Virat Kohli and their pet dog, Anushka wrote about what she has realized in this time. She is grateful for the most basic things in her life which are having food, water, roof over her head and the health of her family, while praying for those who don't even have these.

"Every dark cloud had a silver lining. And this time, while it may seem like the worst time and in so many ways it actually is, has also forcefully made us all stop and deal with things we might have been running away from because either we were 'busy' or it was convenient to say we were 'busy'. If this time is respected for what it is, it will enable more light to shine through. This time has also made us all realise what's truly important," she wrote.

She continued, "For me just having food, water and a roof over my head and the good health of my family seems MOST important. Everything else is a bonus that I bow my head in gratitude for. But, that which we call 'basic' is not so basic for everyone after looking at all the people who struggle for just those few things. My prayers with them and their families. May everyone be safe and secure," (sic).

May everyone be safe and secure. This time has surely made me more reflective. This need to stay at home with your loved ones has been forced upon the entire world but there is a deep lesson for us all. There is a lesson to strive for work and life balance ( I've valued and strived for this dearly for many years now ), there is a lesson to devote more time in things that actually matter. Today, when I'm surrounded by all the blessings in my life, I just want to tell everyone how much compassion I feel for everyone who I see suffer. I want to help as many possible in the best of my abilities. I feel pride in our resilience to be better human beings. I can instinctively feel this in and around me. We will all have our individual and subjective lessons from this time and hopefully, such lessons will continuously stay with us all.
