Have you found your soulspace?
Seek and you will find in you…
A space of calmness
Enveloping you with peace
Of knowing, all is well.
Where you are aligned to your being
Without worrying unnecessarily
You will realize for yourself
A space to rejuvenate your senses
A space in equilibrium & equanimity
That makes you free to be!

Enthusiasm is the energy in the living
A beautiful state of flow in the being
Enthusiasm is often the reason for excellence
The challenge is in sustaining itself
From losing steam midway…
Perhaps due to lack of appreciation
Or motivation to be enthused
Making way for mediocrity
At work or at play.
Question is then how to be enthused
Into doing the same tasks differently
And break free from rut of routine
Very simple…
Stay hopeful, see life as a potential
Create the possibilities
It’s all in the way of envisioning
How you want to build your truths.
It’s all up to you!
Savvy
Truly nothing is insurmountable
There is in you, the power
That manifests when you need it most
You may not know the strength
And capabilities that you are carrying.
But it is always there with you
Simply Trust in yourself
To be there for you!
You are more than enough for you!

Change is inevitable, but you are the one in charge of how the change impacts you and how you respond to the changes.
Dare to dance with it! Dance with life!

Whenever I come across a heart touching action, or a prose ,a poem or quote I will be sharing it here in this series…
Some people make the world a better place by their thoughts words and deeds…
Some people, tell it like it is without mincing anything
And the truth in all its profound simplicity tugs your heartstrings…
Beautiful words
Written by
Sophia Loren (Actress)…
_” When I got enough confidence, the stage was gone….. When I was sure of Losing, I won……. When I needed People the most, they Left me……. When I learnt to dry my Tears, I found a shoulder to Cry on…… When I mastered the Skill of Hating, Someone started Loving me from the core of the Heart…… And, while waiting for Light for Hours when I fell asleep, the Sun came out….. That’s LIFE!! No matter what you Plan, you never know what Life has Planned for you…… Success introduces you to the World……. But Failure introduces the World to you……. ……Always be Happy!! Often when we lose Hope and think this is the end… God smiles from above and says, “Relax Sweetheart; It’s just a Bend, not the End..!”_
Worthy reminder indeed!
Worth taking a moment to be inspired by the truth of life and living in her words.
Here is another recent share about her …

Positively speaking.
Whether it is today, in these times of uncertainty or other… a positive approach to life and living is deeply rewarding.
This is indeed wonderful as an attitude to cultivate towards living life. Being positively enriching & encouraging is truly the best way to help make a difference.
But the trick is in fine balancing the emotions that manifest along the way.
Embodied Practice of Empathy
When you practice sharing positive vibes consistently, you are putting a lot of hope and faith out in the world.
Yet you need to be empathic to yourself, care to understand your own emotions as well, by accepting and acknowledging them, without getting embroiled in them .
Make sure to acknowledge what is happening with your own life.
Speak from the heart.
All that is happening in the world today can be disheartening . So when you are out, sharing positive vibes make sure that you are internalizing them too. Sustaining a spirit of hopefulness is the key driver for a positive mindset . The world needs doses of positive attitude in thoughts words and deeds.
Authenticity of Attitude.
Making sure to feel from your own heart before you share these words of hope is a worthy practice to adopt.
Whatever said or written,words are mere words But when you begin to respect and respond to the emotions sensed in the feelings that arise you begin to see the world in its most vulnerable state.
When heart speaks the world hums along…

Time for Humans to meet humanity
For the stakes are too precarious
Time for relentless introspection
And unbiased reality checks.
On what is reversible or lost
Nature of nature is balance
With no prejudiced judgments
Time to undo the wrongs.
Blunders of ours that earth bares
Learn from the mistakes
And reform our ways of life
Attuning with nature
To coexist by course corrections
Save ourselves from extinction
Survive the odds of own doing
Undoing the errors of generations.
Recycle Reduce Reuse earths gifts
Empathize, Humanize living life
Resurrect what can be rectified
From the brink of man-made chaos.
All for the future of this present
For this beautiful ball of blue
Is the only one we have in this now!
Savvy
There is always a reason
Nothing is accidental
There is always purpose of being.
Let the purpose become bigger
At every step of the way
Remember you are creating ripples
That are expanding your purpose
Of living , of being who you are.
As you are meant to be.
In the infinite abundance of being.

In giving is a grace of hopefulness
In receiving is a respect in Gratitude.
In giving is a trust in abundance
In receiving is an acknowledgement.
Every giving and every receiving is a gift of life.
Both are beautiful beyond compare in the grace of the action and response.
To be able to give without wanting
To be able receive without greed
Makes these gifts meaningful.
Grateful for these gifts of life.
Savvy
Every move we make
In acknowledgement
Of the infinite truths of life.
Of the abundance of nature.
Every step we take in harmony
In conscious awareness
Of the interconnections
Of the nature of our being.
If we only care to remember
How intrinsically intertwined
Is every life to another.
Such is the miracle of every life
Every sign , sound, symbol & shape
Every part of nature has a reason to be.
Interrelated in the river of time.
Envision potential in expansiveness
Of possibilities in inclusiveness.
Recognize the awe & wonder of life.
The miracle of every manifestation.

Life experiences…
Life plays on, making us experience one moment after another. Every day our experiences in living life, can become our guide and compass.
Every failure can be a lesson to learn from and tread wisely with renewed perspectives. Every success can be an open door to more opportunities.
Life moves on
Look forward
Pause to rest, recover
And replenish the self
But be in tandem with time
Dont get stuck in a time warp
Adapt with the changes
Move with grace along the way
Who knows, what’s awaiting
To greet you this next moment
Think well and live lovingly!
Savvy
Align yourself
Every once in a while
In conscious awareness
With your breath
Inhale aspirations
Exhale inspirations
Share with all of you.
Give without resentment.
Let go the spurious
Let life unfold
Tread gently
In loving kindness
Align In Authenticity
When you arrive at being comfortable being yourself with yourself & in front of others, your gifts will shine through and you will begin make a positive impact on this world.
All it takes is…
Being true to who you are:))
Savvy
No amounts of words we simply hear can help heal the world …
As much as even just a pair of helping hands from a loving heart in harmony.
