One positive thought

All it takes is one positive thought

That manages to linger & survive

To drive away negative thoughts.

So think positive and thrive.

Perfect imperfections

Perfection is never the inspiration for nothing is perfect always.

Acknowledging ones imperfections & managing it with grace is true inspiration.

The need for perfection creates undue pressure. Being able to work on the journey without undue pressure can be joyful journey.

What are your thoughts?

Circles of Compassion

21815k

A Painting by Savvy Raj

Titled: Transcendence http://www.savvyraj.com

Compassion is a  gentle inclusive yet so very powered by its infinite expansiveness. Surrounding the self with compassion circles is a duty to your own soul rather than a selfish act. In a world that is apparently getting overly self-obsessed, conscious compassionate thoughts within will become gradually embedded in the core structure of the being and what is powered from a strong core radiates outwards with the magnitude of faith and strength. Therein lies the success of steering towards peace & humanity through positively uplifting thoughts.

  Every compassionate thought that is then spread outwards, will have the strength of its own circles of trust in the boundless infinity of love. Our world needs this in every moment more than we can even imagine. Harness the energies of Compassion that hugs, heals and helps humanise humans.

We are equipped by nature to give and share more than what we perceive we have, just like the abundance of nature our being is infinite in its potential.And in every compassionate share,  there is greater regeneration and replenishment. With a deeper integration of compassionate reflections there occurs a transcendence towards universal empathy.

Connect yourself in this chain of compassionate circles and care to reach out from your core outward. .Trust enough to let go care to remember that we are all dancing beings in an exquisite circle of love and light beyond matter. All is well in the lightness of being. Let the connectedness in compassion dance from and through you !

Shine on …

Be an encourager

On Coaches & Coaching

At times just when a coach knows it’s progress the client wants to give up.

They may feel the changes are not enough or there may be other personal factors that may be inhibiting their success. It is important to acknowledge their emotions at the moment and celebrate small wins precisely showing how far they have come. As a coach  being empathic & encouraging while being flexible and adaptable as you adjust strategies for the way forward aids and facilitates progress.

Often clients face doubt and overwhelm at some point or the other. It is important then to remind them of their why and guide them to stay on course.

Your thoughts are welcome.

Awaken

You awaken

When you are ready to release

That which holds you back.

In acknowledging

Is the allowing 

Of new possibilities

And sense the light within.

Every once in a while

It’s good to unshackle

Simply ask your self

What am I holding back?

Kindred spirits

Pride makes us artificial

Humility makes us real

Thomas Merton

So a long long time ago when I started sharing my writing skills, I received a beautiful message from a reader, who also introduced Thomas Merton, the poet & monk to me. I was intrigued by his words. And went on to read more. For back then I didn’t know  who Thomas Merton was and had never heard or come across his works.

This morning I came across  the above quote, another gem of a quote from the mystical light of this soul…

There are some souls whose works strike a deep chord without ever meeting them… you sense a connection in their words..

I am grateful in all humility to have come across the profoundness of these kindred spirits. 🙏

Peace

We humans are warring

With our own gifts

If oceans could speak

They would call for peace

We need peace with nature

In and around us

Or it will overcome us.

Let us not plunder our earth

For personal gain

Let us not ruin its resources

And tilt the balance

Flood and famine

Are the price we pay

Let there be balance

Let us not treat it with disdain

Water is precious

Without it we cannot live

Nor can our Earth.

To emote is to heal

Sit down with your feelings

Like a good friend

Listen to it to understand

What it conveys to you

It works out for you.

Your emotions are not your enemy

They are your vent

They are your support systems

For the body to feel at ease

Be a good friend to you

And your emotions will thank you

As you thank them.

Let the seasons be…

If a day could be wrapped in a minute

If a year could be tucked in a season

Life would happen too fast

With no time to simply be

Life would be one rushed affair

Wish nothing in a hurry

Let the days be, to dare

Let the nights be to rest anew

Let the flowers bloom in hope

And let the leaves rustle in the wind

Let the seasons come by

All in good time

For you and for me.

Thrive in Gratitude

Life hands many a tough lessons in our journeys. But to strive to be strong and tread through it all, not just by surviving the ordeals but thriving takes inner strength in conviction. It helps to focus on your sense of purpose if you have deciphered it by now, else take each moment as momentary.  Know the pain you feel in this now will be gone in the next. This attitude takes you on a spiritual path of letting go. It makes a profound impact in life  as you continue to practise regularly. Regardless of outcomes you are  thriving…in Gratitude for the lessons from life in the living.🙏

Spirit of Sports

Winning at the Paralympics is no mean feat.  I wonder why it gets second hand treatment and less attention in media compared to Olympics. Came across this news  about a gold in mens badminton, it’s a proud moment for India no doubt.

And am in appreciation for the perseverance of these spirited warriors  of sportsmanship.  A testement to what the body achieves  when the mind believes.  May the spirit of sports shine through

Hope there is more support for every sport and sportsmen and here’s to celebrating them and  their unwavering dedication to touch the pinnacle of success no matter the odds.

With much hope on the anvil this year India has sent its largest contingent to compared to Tokyo 2020  where India found much success

And today I read…

India Shatters Its All-Time Paralympics Record, Medal Tally Swells To 20 https://sports.ndtv.com/paralympic-games-2024/india-shatters-its-all-time-paralympics-record-medal-tally-swells-to-20-6484764

Isn’t it high time to celebrate sports without discrimination across the world. What say?

The lady on the tree

I wrote this poem below years ago. I had no idea about  who Julia Hill was back then. And today I was reminded of  my poem, when I came across her story. She is an  American Activist who saved Luna the redwood tree by living in it to prevent loggers from cutting off the tree and refusing to backdown.

Today I dedicate this very poem to her and the likes of her and their unwavering spirit to save trees.

The Lady on the Tree.

In the centre of placid calm stands an angel of hope and resilience.

She has birds of hope surrounding her haloed presence.

Be like the lady on the tree.

In the stillness of the water… sensing your spirit feel so free,

Climb the tree in the serenity of the calm and unwind.

Bring composure to the cursory mind.

Move away from the mundane.

And feel more humane.

See the birds dancing by your side,

Singing their sweet songs of hope that will always reside!

Tread gently and softly move

In your journey as you find your groove.

Climb that tree and rest awhile.

Witness the water silently settle.

Renew your spirit and discover your mettle.

Delve in the solitude, seeking the clarity in the calm, unbound

As in still waters run deep, the wisdom profound.

Bloom where you are!

Nature speaks in the most creative yet simplest of ways…

The wisdom for a lifetime

Bloom from wherever you are.

Love Love

Let love live

Not just in your smile

In your heart

In your eyes

In your bones

Allow it to reside

In every cell of your being

Make it your life long friend

And see the magic unfold
