The soul knows the truths…
Yet the spirit is untamed.
To understand the wisdom.
It is important to create space
To allow learning to take place.
Humility is dormant
When ego is dominant.
Humility is patience in waiting
Invoking wisdom in humility
Savvy
Humility is a conscious practice in awareness.
Until it becomes a way of life.
In knowing that there is always more
Than what the eyes can see
Or the spirit can do
The soul knows
To reach beyond knowing
It is important to acknowledge the space
To allow learning to take place
Humility is dormant
When ego is dominant.
Humility is patience in waiting
A practice of humility
In thoughts words & deeds,
In listening to understand,
In letting go in faith and fortitude,
In making way for gratitude
In being hopeful in trust
In moderation and measure
Can unlock the inner potential
For humility is full of possibilities.

The river of time is ever flowing
Where are you in this now?
Are you adrift for a reason or flowing along in purpose?
Are you sensing there is more
For you to do before you arrive
Where you want to go…
Are you feeling you are rushed
Carried through without a say
Or are you fighting alone
And wishing for some support and strength
Know wherever you are in this journey
You are meant to be and do
All that you deeply intend
For the river courses through
And finds its way to the sea…
Trust time to deliver all I’m good time
Trust yourself along the way
For you are not only in the flow
You are the flow

O
Our thought vibrations create a change, even a single one
Make sure to think well!
Words create waves, even a single word
Make sure it is positive!
Actions create ripples even a single deed
Make sure it’s well intended!

Wisdom of Patience
Patience awaits
In faith and belief
Patience is understanding
For patience hones itself
For the suitable moments.
Patience is non-judgmental
Patience bears the burden
Of the moments
Knowing the power of time.
Patience is resilience in action
Patience is strength of the spirit
Patience speaks volumes of the soul
Without a word or deed.
Such is the wisdom of Patience
For much is resolved in patience.
A true Companion for Wisdom is Patience and a lot of life’s so called situations which need solutions can be resolved by thinking differently !
Ability to cultivate patience is an art…
To know all happens for a reason.

On Contentment
Life’s desires and dares
Propel you to many pathways
Each a different experience
Like chalk and cheese
It’s all in the knowing
What is enough for you!
In knowing yourself
Awareness grows
To understand more
In acknowledgement and acceptance
Do you know…
Your own point of saturation
As much as satisfaction ?
Can you sense contentment
As much as fulfillment?
Are you certain that you have enough or do you want more
And most importantly…
Do you know you are enough for you?

This caption caught my eye. Sharing my thoughts…
Agreed finding the self is the key
In every moment of living.
For living it purposefully.
Yet the question remains…
How?
To find yourself
And be alive to life in every now.
Simply be
Be present to the moment
Give it your full attention
Acknowledge what is in this now
Be open to possibilities
Allow space to accept
What is.
Know what is, is not all.
There is much potential in you
That is awaiting your awareness
Breathe in hope and let fear go
This way you consciously create
Space to grow.
To allow perspectives
To be inspired
To aspire in hope…
And be all that you can be.
Any other answers?
Do share your thoughts.

Optimism
Musings on Positive Mindsetting and Optimism by my mother Anjana.
Love this piece by her.
Seeing the glass half full or half empty makes a lot of difference to your mind set. Positive thinking is not to ignore the negativities of
matters or situations. It is to see the options to overcome the obstacles in the best possible way. Seeing goodness and being positive reduces unnecessary stress and unwanted heaviness of heart. It lightens the mind, to a cheerful mood and to a healthy you.
Being positive does not erase the difficulties or seriousness of the problem. But when you look at the light out side the dark tunnel, finding ways to cross the darkness becomes easier. The severity of the dark cloud fades away when you have the bright Sun in your vision. A positive mind strengthens your will power to cope up in situations , reduces your stress level resulting in a healthier you, increases life span.
A positive mind can identify and filter the negative thoughts at its seed level and tries to steer away from it. Devoid of imaginary fears you can see problems at its reality with an optimistic mind. Approaching life, facing its realities with a positive attitude makes solutions easier. It gives you better resiliency over adversity, reduces depression, improves your immunity. When your mental strength is increased, it becomes easy to identify and manage challenges, to bring out best positive results.
A positive mind makes you more stronger, , more communicative, more people friendly, more humorous, & healthier. It makes you a better person to be with.
Always be positive, be happy, be healthy. Surround yourself with positive people.

Respect your self
And show respect to others
In thoughts words & deeds
No matter how deserving
In empathy & compassion
It is a reflection of your nature
It speaks much of who you are.
Others will respect you.
When you respect self effort
As well as another’s
You reinforce self discipline
And let it guide manners
When you dont allow yourself
To be disrespected
None can take you for granted
Or behave as if you don’t matter.
Care to own your space in the sun.
Respectfully…
The world will be better by it.

In abundance in thoughts words and deeds.

A story from Mahabharata
Once Arjuna asked Krishna-
Madhav.. What is this ‘successful life’?
Krishna took Arjuna to fly kites.
Arjuna was watching Krishna carefully flying a kite.
After a while Arjuna said-
Madhav.. Because of this thread, the kite is not able to move freely and upwards, should we break it? It will go higher.
Krishna broke the thread..
The kite went up a little more and then came down after waving and fell at a distant unknown place…
Then Krishna explained the philosophy of life to Arjuna.
Parth.. ‘The height we are at in life..
We often feel that certain things to which we are tied are preventing us from going higher; like :
-House-
-family-
-Dicipline-
-mother-father-
-master-and-
-Society-
And we want to be free from them…
In fact, these are the threads – which keep us at that height.
‘Without these threads we will go up once, but later we will have the same fate that happened to a kite without thread…’
“So, if you want to remain on the top in life, then never break your relationship with these threads.”
The height attained by successful balance of thread and kite-like attachment is called ‘successful life..”
Life and Living soulful stories share that come my way…
John D Rockfeller was once the richest man in the world. The first billionaire in the world. By age 25, he controlled one of the largest oil refineries in the US. By age 31, he had become the world’s largest oil refiner. By age 38, he commanded 90% of the oil refined in the U.S.
By 50, he was the richest man in the country. As a young man, every decision, attitude, and relationship was tailored to create his personal power and wealth.
But at the age of 53, he became ill. His entire body became racked with pain and he lost all of his hair. In complete agony, the world’s only billionaire could buy anything he wanted, but he could only digest soup and crackers. An associate wrote, He could not sleep, would not smile and nothing in life meant anything to him. His personal, highly skilled physicians predicted he would die within a year. That year passed agonizingly slowly.
As he approached death he awoke one morning with the vague realisation of not being able to take any of his wealth with him into the next world. The man who could control the business world suddenly realized he was not in control of his own life. He was left with a choice.
He called his attorneys, accountants, and managers and announced that he wanted to channel his Assets to Hospitals, Research, and Charity work. John D. Rockefeller
established his Foundation. This new direction eventually led to the discovery of penicillin, cures for malaria, tuberculosis and diphtheria.But perhaps the most amazing part of Rockefeller’s story is that the moment he began to give back a portion of all that he had earned, his
body’s chemistry was altered so significantly that he got better. It looked as if he would die at 53 but he lived to be 98. Rockefeller learned gratitude and gave back the vast majority of his wealth. Doing so made him whole. It is one thing to be healed. It is another to be made whole.
Before his death, he wrote this in his dairy, “The Supreme Energy taught me, that everything belongs to Him and I am only a channel to comply his wishes. My life has been one long, happy holiday; Full of work and full of play I dropped the worry on the way and God was
good to me every day.”
A profound message in those words.
Sharing musings from my mother..
Life moves on
In carefreeness
In dreaming.
In reality.
In sensibility.
In witnessing.
Each phase like
the changing face
moves on
teaching new lessons
To adjust
To accommodate
To analyse
To be detached
To let go
The most valuable lesson
‘To be in the Now.’
Live every moment
As it never come twice
Never contemplating,
Never anticipating.
Valuing the PRESENT
As a precious Present.
Live the NOW
With joy and peace
As they are not
From outsourcing.
For they are in me
Never let the transcient changes affect,
Like water bubbles,
they come and go.
Like passing clouds
They disperse.
With compassion in heart,
With awareness in mind,
With realisation in soul
Be in the Now.
Be in Bliss.
Anjana
The way we feel has much to do with the way we think
The way we think has much to do with the way we behave
The way we behave has much to do with our notions assumptions and perceptions.
And the way we are perceived has much to do with the way we carry ourselves.
Our personality & attitude is our projection of our personas
Our nature is interweaved with the emotional state of being .
In acknowledging this…
Our life’s journey evolves in awareness.
What we say to ourselves
Is immensely impactful!
Lets understand the power
Within each of us.
Let’s review our internal dialogues…
When you are about to say
‘ Let me give up’
Change it to
Let me try again
When you think
I am not enough
Can you say
I am capable as I am.
When you fear failure
Can you learn from failure
And emerge stronger from the experience
Life truly has many possibilities
For those who care to see
And acknowledge life’s lessons.
