On Attitude

If milk gets bad, it becomes yoghurt. Yoghurt is more valuable than milk. If it gets even worse, it turns to cheese. Cheese is more valuable than both yoghurt and milk.

And if grape juice turns sour, it transforms into wine, which is even more expensive than grape juice.

You are not bad because you made mistakes. Mistakes are the experiences that make you more valuable as a person.

Christopher Columbus made a navigational error that made him discover America.

Alexander Fleming’s mistake led him to invent Penicillin.

Don’t let your mistakes get you down. It is not practice that makes perfect. It is mistakes we learn from that makes perfect!

Loved this forward I received this morning, just had to share… So motivational. Our attitude turns circumstances around…

Stay hopeful and turn the misses around…

On life & living

Let go three things to have a life well lived

Let go pressure to prove it to yourself..
Know it wreaks havoc. Trust yourself to deliver your very best.

Let go expectations that others have on you
Know you can never satisfy everyone. And demands will never end

Let go guilt trips into the past. A river never flows back It is meant to course through. Take the learning and move on.

Reminiscing and brooding, of what was or  what could be or what any one did or said changes nothing.

Learn to treat yourself kindly
You have one life. Live it well
You owe it to no one but you.

Light of Change

Change & Creativity

Evolution happens in the changes that are a precussor to transformation.

As humans much of our creativity is often boxed in association of concepts and experiences and their correlation.

A conscious unshackling of patterns of thought brings forth new and different ways of seeing & thinking. Every now and then take a pause, acknowledge the diverse new associations for it breeds creativity.

A deliberate action that reaches out far and wide to step out of conventional thought patterns is never easy especially as humans like to feel safe and secure in comfort of knowing of a stability and at ease at rest.

Change can be unsettling and startling for most to accept, to digest & acclamatize in the new shifts.And yet to create new spaces for light is to step up in the gamut of creativity there need to be, a dare into the unknown that explores dimensions beyond.

Wisdom of the Way

Learn the form, but seek the formless. Hear the soundless. Learn it all, then forget it all.Learn The Way, then find your own way.

The silent monk from the Forbidden kingdom

I love this wisdom of The Way

In trying to control

You realize in time

You never can have it all

In fact the more you try to do

You realize how unbalanced you are.

To find balance

You meet stillness in the listening

For it vibrates it’s own music.

Hear in silence and you sense it.

You don’t need to try too hard

What is meant to be found appears.

You don’t need to overstretch

You simply need to ease in to connect deeply.

Somewhere somehow

In moments of loneliness

The tango of the mind & heart

May seem to overwhelm.

Choose to shift the narrative

Understand you can be alone

Without feeling lonely

Blame not your luck or fate

Find connects with your own self

Draw out the beauty of you.

Acknowledge your feelings

Allow your emotions to express

Draw your patterns of possibilities

Doodle, dance, sing or play

To express and let go.

The spirit of the soul revives.

Care to relish the moments

Of connects that you sense.

Remember you matter to you

Stop being hard on yourself

Start to discover your potential

Choose to know yourself

All of you body mind & spirit

Seek to sense the freedom to be

All that you want.

Do that which feels you

With or without company

Choose to carve your life

Choose to be in spaces

That makes you happy

Find ways to connect

Volunteer your time

For a cause that resonates

Sooner than later

You will find

Your kind of vibe

Somewhere somehow.

Learnings from Bamboo Plant

Sharing a wise forward that came my way….

Lesson from Bamboo.

A bamboo plant is an example for patience.

Try growing a bamboo plant. Water it regularly. Seasons will come n go. It will stay adamant without even growing an inch taller. For four years it will stay the same. One has to have patience watering it for four years. Nothing will happen to make you happy.
On the fifth
year the magic will happen. On the next season it will start to grow. Not an ordinary growth. In one year it will reach a height of 80 feet

How a plant which remained dormant for the first 4 years could reach this magical height
in the fifth year.

There lies Nature’s secret.. The wonder of Creation.

The first four years the plant prepares a strong base inside the earth. For it’s astonishing growth in the fifth year it needs strong root base to hold it’s height . The patience it has is for the initial four years is for it’s sustenance in the following years.

That’s the reason when it reaches great heights in the fifth year it never collapses or fall down.

Patience is a virtue that creates great heights in success. Never be in haste to grow and expand until you create a strong foundation & groundwork for your growth. Then nothing can stop ur growth and success.

Nothing is impossible here.

Purpose of learning

The learning is introduced

In the reading or telling

The learning is beginning

In the teaching & watching

The learning is supported

In the coaching & mentoring

But the learning actually happens

In the involving & engaging.

And the learning is reinforced

In its applications and sharing.

Learning is a dance

Of the heart & mind

But when the spirit & soul

Connect in the learning

The purpose finds its path…

Heart & Mind

So many feelings
So many thoughts
Creating confusion
Body mind & spirit
What to say and do
What to hold on to
And what to let go
Queries the mind.

Let go doubt
Let go assumptions
Let go prejudice
Let go judgements
All is meant to change
All is meant to flow
Answers the heart.


But the dance of the mind and heart continues😊
Every day… until

Dancing the doubts away
The body heals

Awakening the intuitive wisdom
The spirit regenerates…

Coaching tips

As a life coach my experiences over the years with my clients comes with many learnings. As each life is unique and so are their circumstances. To get any further into coaching it’s important to understand where they are and for them to acknowledge it

Creating a safe space is a prerequisite.

There is a simple yet
empowering and activity that
can be used… Its called ‘What
makes my heart sing?
It is a powerful exploration
into what brings them joy and
fulfilment, it helps create safe
and supportive and active
listening space by building
trust
It’s quite simple to facilitate
Begin with introduction to
explain the activity. Ask them
to reflect on life moments, they
felt in a flow state or felt truly
alive_and iovful.


Then as a life coach you help
facilitate how these
experiences are interconnected
to their values and discuss
how they can begin to
incorporate more of this into
their lives
And finally also help them
create an action plan towards
the same.

On Courage

Every life in this world

Is born with courage to thrive

And the courage to survive

It is a matter of recognising

And awakening to your courage

Courage has many facets

In you exists so many kinds of courage…

And each of us have different degrees of it.

There is courage is a dare that speaks to your truth

A dare that makes you confront

With the truth of you.

When was the last time you sensed courage?

Or lack of it in a certain situation? .

Courage that dares through physical challenges.

Enduring discomfort hurt

Or pain and even possible danger.

Then comes the emotional courage

To be able to confront

Your deepest fears and doubts

Having the ability to seek help

Express your inner feelings

Takes a great deal of courage too.

Not everyone can share their truths easily.

Have you ever been tongue tied and socially awkward?

Perhaps you need to work on being socially courageous.

Speaking with self confidence means assertive communication.

Connecting with people from all walks of life with ease.

Work on your voice and poise which helps in speaking publicly.

Have you sensed the need to learn more?

To educate yourself every now and then?

It is about being courageous to develop your intellectual strengths.

An ability to say’ I don’t know’ or admit’ I was wrong. ‘

Breaking the ego build up and allowing space to understand more

This also require the development of humility in great measures.

Somewhere deeply inter linked with morality and conscience.

In the ability to admit to mistakes to stand up for values and fight for rights

Upholding the principles with conviction & braving opposition.

Not many people find it easy to fight the odds. They give in.

To understand beyond the self calls for another type of courage

The empathically courageous will go beyond biases to get into the others persons perspective.

Empathy is a courage to sense the trials and tribulations of others.

Along with this is another kind of profound courage

An exploration of your own Spiritual truths.

This calls for conscious connections, remembering to honour your life, in and around you in every form.

Courage is an inner reserve

That actions from all of you

Your nature and nurture

Is unique so is your courage

And the way you are…

Explore what facets of courage has naturally become your strength in time.

And what facets do you need to build and develop in yourself.

Now when you think back of the many situations that you exemplified your courageous self.

Every thing you need is already within you

Waiting for you to trust yourself enough to recognize it.

Remember your courage is one of your many gifts of strength.

Acknowledge and use it wisely.
