Surf the waves

To swim and surface
Is daring the waves.
Like any ocean surfer knows
We are all equal before a wave.
While you may not be able to control everything
And learning curve may be steep
You adapt to ride the waves.
For waves are a part of the flow
In the cycle of life.
A wise leader knows
the highs and lows
Are part of the same flow.

Handling Difficult People

If ever you are in a position where you are hurt and helpless and want to help yourself out of this situation  check on your own behavior

Are you speaking and sharing   more than you should?

Are you over explaining and try to match up to anothers expectations and not valuing your own strengths?

Are you defending yourself  when the other person  refuses to understand  anothers perspective?

Are you too sensitive and taking things personally  when actually  the source of the issues or the problem is not you at all?

Often  it is self awareness that is the first step towards bettering your life.

A self check to see your reactions  is definitely a way to improving  how you handle and manage difficult people in life.

Tbe way to make life favorable  to you , is in living as if all is rigged in  your favor.

Evolving Nature

Natures perfectly imperfections

Today I have shared  my nature photography of three blooms,   along with an inspired comment on one my posts on Nature , by my mother Anjana.

There is nothing as complete in Nature. Always there is space for futher growth and further evolution.

So learn to enjoy and admire the imperfections,the seemingly unfinished words or works, they give the room to take it further in a new direction or more positive approach later instead of lamenting internally.

The cosmos itself is infinite , with no beginning or end so that expansion can take place in any direction without boundary.

And All Is Well

You can’t plan life to the last detail

You get what you give

And then some more

You give what you get

And then some more

Some times things happen

You may not know the reason why

But know it’s all for the best

And all is well.

Trust life and trust yourself

Keep being better than yesterday

All works out well for sure.

Thank your worries

As life can be truly challenging

We all have worried about it

Yet worries don’t change things

Acting on the issues does.

So instead of worrying today

Whenever  you begin to worry

Can you thank your worry

For trying to be helpful ?

And remember to make it a habit.

If you realise you are worrying

Work on worry everytime

Thank it again & again.

It is simple to do yet impactful.

Sometimes as perspectives shift

Solutions, find space to emerge.

Fragility of life.

Life is like that

Fragile and fragmented

There is much left unsaid undone

There is much left incomplete

For we are not perfect beings

Fragility is a truth of our life

But life continues  ….

However much we may think we have given our best

There is always an expectation

Some how somewhere

That is yet left unfulfilled

There is always something more

That we need to have done.

A battle we need to have fought

A voice we should have raised

A devil we need to have dared

And annihilated

It happens in one way or another.

But we can only learn

By living our life forward

And while unfortunately we cannot go and undo all the past

We certainly can empower ourself

To rise no matter the storms .

And right the wrongs in time.

Leaving the world a little better  than before .

I wrote this as a heartfelt offering of support and encouragement in  hope to those going through or remembering a traumatic past.

While life is fragile

Hope is here to stay .

Crack of light

Things happen, and just when it all feels dark, there is a crack…

Where light enters in hope!

There is always a reason why, nothing is accidental. The cracks   are where light shines through  , like the crack of dawn.And the sooner in time, in the tiniest cracks, whenever the ego shatters to transform itself in humility, all resets in transcendence to begin again, renewed in purpose. 
Such is the nature of life & living.
All is well in hope.

Each knows

Sometimes a little  pause or silence
Sometimes a little break from monotony
Can be a gamechanger
In the rut of routine
To unshackle the soul
And set the spirit free to imagine
And spark the creative fire within…
Wouldn’t you agree?
And I suppose how much of it all,  is an answer each knows… in the journey of becoming.

Perfectly Imperfect

We are what we are
As humans we are vulnerable beings, strengthened by our very vulnerability.
As for our notions of the  nuances
As for our presumptions and prejudices
Along with our unique sense of self contrived our otherwise
We are only human we are capable of being humane.


We are alive & breathing in this now
And no matter the despair and frustration
No matter the weight of the world
No matter the fragmented existence
No matter our human fragility…
We carry on as we are
exploring & discovering
thriving and creating
history…


We are complete beings in our acknowledging incompleteness.
We are perfect beings with all our so called imperfections.

And we strive to do our best with what we have

If everything is complete and perfect then there would be no wonder to evolve us along…

As that’s what makes us who we are.

To share is to care

Artwork by Savvy Raj

Inside the ball is air,
Inside the flute is air,
Then why is the ball kicked, and the flute kissed?

The ball holds the air within itself, saying, “I will keep it all to myself,” and thus, it is kicked.
But the flute transforms the air within it into music for others to enjoy, and so it is kissed.

This beautifully conveys the importance of sharing and giving selflessly.

Truly, a  profound message!

Now here are my reflections…

In the journey of life

Kick the balls of ego

Within and around you

And in the sands of time

Sing along in  the winds of change 

Like playing a beautiful flute

Resonating with the tunes

Yet transforming the space

With the melody of its music.

How to become a better version of oneself?

To evolve into a better version  of the self…

You incrementally make the moves towards it.

If you sense frustration and angst  choose to make sense of where  you are in this now…

Are you angry at something  beyond your control?

When you realise you cannot  change another then be wise to improve yourself.

Be assertive and you will sense confidence.

Choose to be self aware and have the courage to dare to speak for yourself.

You are your best friend,  you don’t need anothers validation.

Own your truths. Both strengths and weaknesses. And work on improving  your self in conscious ways, step by step .

It all starts with you taking the step.

Would you agree?

Thoughtworthy

Here’s a thoughtworthy share

Air Commodore Vishal was a Jet Pilot. In a combat mission his fighter plane was destroyed by a missile. He however ejected himself and parachuted safely. He won acclaims and appreciations from many.

After five years one day he was sitting with his wife in a restaurant. A man from another table came to him and said “You’re Captain Vishal ! You flew jet fighters. You were shot down!”

“How in the world did you know that?” asked Vishal.

“I packed your parachute,” the man smiled and replied.
Vishal gasped in surprise and gratitude and thought if parachute hadn’t worked, I wouldn’t be here today.

Vishal couldn’t sleep that night, thinking about that man. He wondered how many times I might have seen him and not even said ‘Good morning, how are you?’ or anything because, he was a fighter pilot and that person was just a safety worker”

So friends, who is packing your parachute?
Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it through the day.

We need many kinds of parachutes– we need the physical parachute, the mental parachute, the emotional parachute, and the spiritual parachute.
We call on all these supports before reaching safety.

Sometimes in the daily challenges that life gives us, we miss what is really important.

We may fail to say hello, please, or thank you, congratulate someone on something wonderful that has happened to them, give a compliment, or just do something nice for no reason.

As you go through this week, this month, this year, recognize the people who pack your parachute.
Happy New Year
❤️

Happy New Year 2025

Wishing and intending  for wonderful New year ahead…

On Intentions  and Actions

Whenever we want or intend for something  we must also be ready to do something  about it.

Here are few ‘Wants ‘and Intentions and what one can to do about it.

If you want happiness  try making another happier.

True joy comes to you when you serve another.

Serve yourself  some laughter if you want your spirit to feel free.

Fill your day with Gratitude whenever you are looking  for Abundance.

And if you want friendship to manifest  in life why not start by being your own best friend.

If you are searching for love why not begin to love your self ♥️

Also, choose to take a walk in nature if you are intending for some more insightful  perspectives .

I for one can vouch for the creative ideas and reflections that a simple walk brings to me.

Have a beautiful  blessed

New  year 2025

Live life lovingly!
