Sometimes you sense
Life taking you to places
Leading you to pathways Moving towards you.
Sometimes you notice
Signs that speak to you
Appearing and disappearing. From anywhere to nowhere.
It’s for you to understand
The significance of the signs
Now is the time to free your mind,
To listen in keen awareness,
And trust in the Universe There is always a reason
Nothing is coincidental.
Savvy
“To listen entails a fundamental letting go of self-centeredness. We have to be willing to put down our own thoughts, views, and feelings temporarily to truly listen.”
Oren Jay Sofer
Power of listening
Is in self control
In hearing to understand
The when, what, where, who & how
In curiousity patience and wonder
In caring to empathise
And connect without interrupting.
In knowing to balance the spoken words
By truly caring to hear with all of you…
Relationships heal in the listening.

LARGEST TREE IN THE WORLD
Location : Giant Forest of Sequoia National Park in Tulare County, California, USA.
The General Sherman Tree is the world’s largest tree, measured by volume. It stands 275 feet (83 m) tall, and is over 36 feet (11 m) in diameter at the base. Sequoia trunks remain wide high up. Sixty feet above the base, the Sherman Tree is 17.5 feet (5.3 m) in diameter.
Was wondering of the lifetime experiences that this tree must have been through.
Of how many seasons it must have seen
Of how it must have survived through the storms
As well as enjoyed the beauty of springtines
Of the countless lives it must have generously sheltered
And continues to do so….
Strengthened by nature
Thriving in the surviving
A Salute to the tree.

Did I offer peace today? Did I bring a smile to someone’s face? Did I say words of healing? Did I let go of my anger and resentment? Did I forgive? Did I love? These are the real questions. I must trust that the little bit of love that I sow now will bear many fruits, here in this world and the life to come.
Henri Nouwen
Came across these words which can serve as a great reminder.
Good thoughts makes way for a good day…
Think well.
I think if you exercise, your state of mind – my state of mind – is usually more at ease, ready for more mental challenges. Once I get the physical stuff out of the way it always seems like I have more calmness and better self-esteem.Stone Gossard
Well said and true for it only shows how much our mind and body is integrated.

Beauty is a very subjective term inspite of all the objectification that goes on in the name of beauty.
Beautiful you
Every age has a charm
Of its own doing
Every life is beautiful
In its own way!
What to speak of a lifetime?

Life is precious
Let there be care
In how we treat ourselves
As much as others.
A heartfelt forward worth a share…

There is always tommorow

Keep the faith and trust
It will feel just right.

How to see the good
When bad is doing the round
To bring the good in focus
Perhaps you need to search
For it in their way of being
In the visible & hidden nature
There is much that happens
In the circumstances
And much that goes invisible
For it cannot be expressed
For it is seen as a weakness
To be vulnerable
To be sensitive & emote
Are qualities that are negated
For it makes ones life difficult
But life has many shades
The very weakness for one
Can be a strength for another
It’s all in the way we see it.
Every life is precious
With many gifts of nature
It is in us to acknowledge.
Savvy
Finding the wonderful in every day
Is a lovely idea
But it means you have to remember to look for it
In the daily moments
Within you, in people & things around you
And consistently so…
No matter what who when where and why
And you will be sure to find it.
Lovely idea that makes life wonderful in itself.
Savvy
Spirit of life and living
Makes the soul
Find purpose & meaning
Treat the body as a temple
Make friends with your mind
Allow the body & mind to coexist
Let them be harmonious
The life feels just right…
To be really healthy and truly well all that is required is that we not only treat our body right, but our mind and soul too.
Savvy
I share a few more lines on Success I had written earlier
You create the state of success
And you never rest on your success
Success is in the courage to continue
Your perseverance, your passion and purpose.
Success is consistently inconsiderate
Success demands much focus
as it supplies momentum
Beyond self limitations and doubts.
Success is in each of us
Awaiting a discovery
An unearthing of potential
To sense in life’s infinite possibilities.
Savvy
Everything starts from a decisive moment…
Decision is often the difference between greatness and mediocrity. In every man’s life there comes a time when he must search for a cause, a work, an ideal to which he can give himself. Whether he says ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ to the challenge will determine his future.”
Wilferd Peterson
A great motivational quote.
It opens up a few relevant questions on decisions and decision making.
How decisive are you about your life?
Do you take your decisions seriously?
Or do often you let/ want others take decisions for you.
Do you take time to make decisions?
Do you stand for your decisions and do your decisions stand the test of time?
There are different decision making styles based on how a problem is perceived.
A good decision begins with begins with identification and envisioning of the goal ,
Secondly it is important to collect all information so that you can weigh options and alternatives.
Next it is paramount to consider the consequences of the decision before taking the decision.
Once a decision is taken is necessary to be able to evaluate the decisions in time.
Worth thinking of how much a good decision in a moment has power of change life.
