Thriving rich?

Being rich is living life exploring and discovering all your possibilities of your potential

Being rich is being able to realize the potential of you.

Being rich is being ready to sense the abundance that is.

Money is not necessarily the only factor for your worth.

Your worth is being all that you are.

You are rich in knowing your worth.

Be enriched in health wealth & prosperity but most of all be rich in the heart and mind.

In realization of the contentment of what you have, you are truly rich!

On Commitment

An interesting  quote on relationships  I read this morning…

The relationship between commitment and doubt is by no means an antagonistic one. Commitment is healthiest when it’s not without doubt but in spite of doubt.

Rollo May

As I reflected on the above words  a few thoughts came to me…

On life and relationships

Is there an interplay of doubt and commitment?

Is there commitment when in doubt?

What happens when doubt creeps in the committed?

Whenever they intersect there are conflicts

Whether at opposition or not

Both are in thoughts

Dashing from one extreme to another

At times contradicting at times rationalising

And returning back to apparent normalcy

When doubt dances in, commitment feels the burn

When commitment is strong, doubt rests on the back burner.

Have always felt there needs to be trust in a relationship as much as compromise else even the strongest of relationships fall apart.

What are your thoughts ? Do share.

"In the end, just three things matter: How well we have lived How well we have loved How well we have learned to let go” Jack Kornfield

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.

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 .

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.

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?

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!

Life & living

How do you navigate the challenges of life by staying practical?

Acknowledging changes by being adaptable  Yet standing up for what you believe,  and saying no assertively, when you want to say no, without fear and doubts of what people will say.

Staying humble and grateful  yet  dedicated & focussed , no matter the vagaries of life.

Being able to move on from errors or failures, without becoming stagnant.

Being kind to oneself with self care.

And then most  importantly allowing every failure to become stepping stones of learnings.

On Forgiveness

In our life

There are all kinds of times

Life can seem unforgettable

With myriad memories…

All is transient

Sometimes it seems unforgivable

And yet…

When you don’t feel like forgiving

You give yourself the choice

For you can choose to forgive

If you do so…

Your life also evolves for the better

Choose to let go the unpleasant

For it makes no sense to hold on.

Change awaits to make a positive difference.

Choose well and in time.

What is the colour of your thoughts today ?

Question yourself

Am I thinking well?

If I were to choose a colour

What colour would my thoughts  be in this now?

Are my feelings cold or warm?

Are my emotions overflowing or in balance.

Is my spirit shackled or free?

Are my thoughts racing or calming?

Your answers will speak to you,

Of your state of being.

If ever you feel the need to introspect and self regulate you can use these questions that came to me today to do a self check, as to where you are placed in this spectrum of life in the now.

Writing here every day on WordPress has drawn many readers who have messaged me their challenges and it is a privilege to connect, meet and also coach some of them.

As a writer and a life coach, I have been intentionally motivating with my thoughts over the years. I find joy in writing my heart out and yet be able to empower myself and my readers with positive thoughts.  I believe it makes a difference and I hope to continue making these small yet positive impacts through my works, be it  through art or words.

Feel free to share colours of your thoughts today here.

And I hope you have a beautiful  time wherever in the world you are.
