How do you fill your cup of life?
How often?
What makes you happy?
Filling the cup of life cannot happen
Without making space to enjoy life’s moments
Let the cup of life overflow
In the sharing of joy
The cup of Now:
Create space in your cup of time
For solitude and reflections
Allow yourself to make sense
Of moments without overwhelm.
Take a moment to pause…
And begin to enjoy the sip of this cup in this now.
For life is in this cup of now.

There is so much more to thankfulness
Your mind body and spirit
Are integrated in the emotions
Your life becomes more abundant
Your health improves along the way
For you hold not expression or suppress feelings
You appreciate what needs to be appreciated
You create circles of light hope and joy in thankfulness.
Make sure to add yourself in your list of thankfulness.

In every relationship
Family, friendship or at work
All is a matter of values
We inculcate through life.
When it all starts from respect
And ends with respect.
There is dignity of being
In a world distanced in reality
By technology and internet
Increasing the screentimes
And enslaving people
There is much need
To use it to our advantage
Than be redundant with it.

On Serendipity
A delightful start to the day came from a sensational photo share on Serendipity by a friend Amina Alami.
Serendipity appears for us to sense from nowhere… Juxtaposed in the joy of the discovery.
Speaking of Serendipity… I am sharing a flow of thoughts coincidentally…
There is always a reason
Nothing is accidental they say
Yet much occurs in goodwill & coincidence
In being in the moment
You are ready to give and receive
With all of you.
In being able to flow with the changes
You begin to see beyond the challenges
Life is what you can make of it
When the intentions are pleasant
There is always something salibrious
That you can find without searching
Sense the Serendipity flowing your way!
Carpe diem, Seize the moment!
Live life Lovingly!

This tree is uniquely shaped and there is always a reason to be…
There is much in the pattern.
With angles that self-balance.
Supported in the shaping.
To survive the storm.
Swaying in the wind.
So full of spaces in between
To evolve and to grow.
With confidence of connection
Rooted in a solid foundation.
The tree find its own flow
Paving the pathway
Manifesting its uniqueness.
It finds its purpose of being.
Likewise to an organization
That grows steadfast in trust
In strength of the structure.
Spreading its wings in faith
For when the roots are strong
And potential is nurtured
In valuing the roots
In acceptance of the new… There is freedom to expand.
With fresh perspective at play
Every leader owns an angle towards sustainability.
Great leaders may pitch great angles of perspective.
But a great team is formed by great people.
Like every living part of a tree is significant to the whole tree.
Every individual is valuable to the organization.
Every perspective matters to the cohesive whole.
A great read by my friend Ali Anani prompted me to write this post.
So much wisdom from nature in every form if we choose to see.

Good thoughts

A changing world
In this world of metaverses and advanced technology where emotional connects brings us closer, no matter the actual physical distance, building & sustaining trustfulness, integrity becomes paramount benchmarks for buisnesses in digital space. Companies that can understand this need and work around it by providing clarity of information and create experiences with strong data securities will have an advantage. Even terms and policies on user data needs transparent communication.
On the other hand the question remains how the world will adapt to new ways of work with avatars taking prominence over actual humans. The lines of real and virtual are truly interweaved. While this generation born in a digital world is synced in with the changes like AI storming in to our life the earlier generation is still reeling with trust issues.
Changing Times…
Times are changing and how
From a generation that grew up without phones & computers & to a world that knows not to be, without a mobile phone & laptops.
Trustful Connections
In all this changing there is still one element of truth that is consistently evident.
The need for human connection. As development improves the way we interact with one another it is getting extremely important to feel a sense of trust.The way of work has higher need for transparency along with the responsibility.And that is creating more interdependence and collaborative styles of work.
Autocracy has to move to meritocracy for trust to be formed. For we are living in a world where everyone can function from anywhere at the touch of button,and can be informed and aware in real time.
Sustainability
Challenges are plenty but solutions are also clear.Leading the change building trust. Creating and sustaining better relationships.It’s all in us, the way we behave interact and live each moment. Trust takes time to form and be instilled. Once trust is gained it becomes a gamechanger. In any successful relationship be it professional or personal it is important to understand the need to cultivate and sustain efforts towards trustful connections.

(IT IS A SHARED POST)
SOME SOCIAL RULES THAT MAY HELP YOU:
22.After reading a good message try to say “Thanks for the message”.
APPRECIATION remains the easiest way of getting what you don’t have….
We are bonded in a connection
By infinite fibers between us
Both visible & Invisible
At times tangible in the feeling
Some times palpable in the sensing
But it takes an acknowledgement
Of the beauty of us beyond the I.
Savvy
We are all mere wind in a shell
Winding &unwinding
Our thoughts in every now
We are travellers shoring our souls
One beach to another
Evolving along the way…

I wrote these lines as a response to a comment on my earlier post .I came across it today and felt it was just apt with the image above.
Coloring all the way
Every flower speaks its truth
As much as every part of nature
Finding its own identity
Like day and night
Dusk and dawn
Colored through myriad hues of light
Creating hope and beauty of life
Nature says, in the most colorful way,
Flow through the day
Express your self uniquely along the way!
Happy Festival of Colors
Happy Holi!

A beautiful reminder worth seeing every day…
The truth is in shifting perspective with movements
The emotion you feel within changes everything
So if you begin to work on positive shaping
Of your thoughts with a simple smile
Then the smile begins to emanate from the heart
The way you see your life changes for the better
Keep smiling from the heart ❤️

It’s all in the nurturing
Plant a life in hope
Nurture seeds of compassion
Water it everyday with kind deeds
Nourish the roots with care Enrich it with love for life
What you plant in your heart becomes you
And you reap what you sow
Now the question is what are you nurturing in this now ?
And what do you want to nurture today?
Savvy
No matter how busy you think you are
There is always space to learn and understand more
Space to grow and evolve
And it all starts with a little shift in perspective.
A little rebalancing from the way things are…
Work & life
It often amazes me to see the adulation that certain people have for being the first to arrive and last to leave their workplace. I wonder if anyone has cared to check how their families feel about this?
Many on the so called respected and admired list, are people who are workaholics, burning out by the minute.
They are there, working beyond the call of duty perhaps out of personal passion, sense of ownership and responsibility or even perhaps because they feel they can’t afford to fail, may be even because it gives them an edge of pride to be known as some one who is committed.
However life is about balance and simply put, more of one leads to less of another. The trick is the wisdom of balance and steering clear of extremes.
To every workaholic out there here are few reflections…
☆Avoid stretching yourself too thin.You are already on razors edge and you are hurting one part of your life, if you continue to do what you do. Reclaim your life. Find other passions and take care of your health. Stay safe than sorry.
☆Your personal life is at stake and is also your responsibility.
☆Bringing home the money and comforts is just one half of the whole. Your family is best nurtured by your loving presence in their lives.
☆Your absence at home and family/ social affairs is missed at first and then adapted with along the way to a point of being indifferent to your presence in time. Because you are never there for them.
☆ At a certain point in life, lack of care and connection begins to show and no amount of money can be valued over time .
☆Money cannot buy love they say and it certainly becomes true, as people begin to use you for your money and you will never feel fulfilled and content after spending it.
☆Everything around you becomes materialistic to the point of manipulation and its your own doing as you threw in the money and comforts where ever and whenever your time was required or requested.
☆Relationships become meaningless without a sense of togetherness. Missing out time with another in the excuse of being busy for years will take a toll on personal life. People will get used to you not being around for them and then expecting them to be there for you when you need them is a selfish ask.
☆Your children will be affected by your continued absence . Your presence in their growing years is very important for their holistic well being. Your partner will be angry or isolated with you. And expecting things to be different as you continue your ways is not going to change anything.
☆However in recognizing the signs of workaholic and your choosing to balance different aspects of your life will start making a meaningful difference.
☆For starters acknowledge your value for your time and energy.
☆Speaking of your energy , if you have spent most of your day at work , how will you find yourself able to give more of you as you have exhausted yourself
☆Recognize where it’s slipping away and start to chalk out a balancing plan. It can transform your life and those around you.
☆Find moments that are solely yours and use it for your personal development.
☆Your career is only one part of your life. It helps you sustain your life but the relationships you have nourishes you. Without it you have no true sense of purpose.
☆If you are one of those who are thinking of grabbing opportunities and climbing the corporate ladder acknowledge that you may possibly often have an unsatisfactory family relationship at the end of it all.
☆Your passion for your work may begin to affect your health watch out early signs of strain and stress and care to take help .
Thankfully today the world is more aware of work week and many countries are Consciously doing something about it. How it affects productivity in time will be seen and how much it could contribute to work life balance, but it definitely is time reclaimed for family.
The truth is its about prioritization of what’s important for well-being in life. Personal and professional lives both are important and have demands that need your time. So balance is the key.
