Discipline may come from education.
But the ability to stay on path is a habit
Education may steer us to discipline.
But discipline takes dedication.
To adhere to the path on you own.
What do you think?

In synch
When what you say
And what you do
Are congruent
The effect of your words & deeds
Radiates all around you in resonance.
It’s no wonder then that
In a world that seems so dissonant
Words and deeds need to synch.
In harmony of such synchrony
Faith and trust meet belief
And that’s what makes all the difference.

Why save bees?
Perfect pollinators
Supporting the ecosystems
From wild flowers to food crops
For Interconnections run deep
With the plant and animal kingdom
As much as with all of life and living.
Its said, if bees become extinct as a species
We humans will cease to be, in just four years
They not only produce the nectar of life
Bees sustain the delicate balance
Of the environment of our world.

Life and Living
Whenever I come across a heart touching action, or a prose ,a poem or quote I will be sharing it here in this series…
Some people make the world a better place by their thoughts words and deeds...
When the sport turns to a dance…
When the feet move in a rhythm
All its own, in uniqueness
Artistry is acknowledged.
An Inspiring life
Friends
See, Brazil’s under 17 footbal coach Amadeu Carlos who is “just” 76 years old.
This is called Brazilian football magic…
He proves “Age is just number.”
Amazing skill, energy and stamina.
This above information is social media forward, yet when decided, I wanted to learn more about him. I found that his age is misconstrued.Yet whatever the age, age is just a number, his skill is clear to see and that’s what is beautiful to see.
Here is a (wiki ) snapshot of his life and living.
Carlos Amadeu Nascimento Lemos was a Brazilian footballer and manager who played as a left back. He represented Bahia as a player before injury curtailed his career. He went on to have a managerial career which spanned almost thirty years.
This is how he sums up his country and its relationship with their favorite sport….“In Brazil when a child is born, the first gift for him is a ball. Our relationship with football is huge. We are a footballing nation and we like that”

Pathway to Sanity
Life can challenge us in the living
Each moment can throw us into a maze
That we need to go figure for ourselves
Personally speaking…
I turn to self reflection and solitude walking in contemplative introspection, when I need to rebalance and align myself , as in doing so I am able to understand and reconsider how difficult it has been, given the circumstances and I comfort myself by acknowledging that I have done my best.
I am grateful for this ability to write and paint my heart away, and express myself through arts, just as much as being kinder and compassionate with myself. For in every such moment, I am learning to be a better me.
I also find great solace in meditative movements and soulful dancing that help me bounce back to normalcy.
In difficult times what keeps you sane?

Finding Time
Ultimately it all about finding time
For a…
A little laughter to keep you light
A little kindness along the way
A little walk for your good health
A little whiff of fragrance divine
A little tune to hum through the day
A little step to carry it through
A little tap down the memory lane
All to align you to your happiest self

Simplify Life
Simple can be profoundly impactful
For in the very complexity of the matter
Resides clarity of the simplicity.
Simplifying the truth of purpose
In easily understandable ways.
Simplify thoughts, simplify life.:))

The Journey so far…
The simple act of writing a little everyday, penning down my thoughts and sharing with you all here, the time spent here, has been deeply rewarding in more ways than one. Yes, a moment of reckoning indeed of all those contemplative times.🙂
While some of you my readers have suggested me to focus on the monentary benefits of blogging, yet a few of you have appreciated my artworks and also suggested that I must compile a book in some of the kind comments you leave, which I will cherish for a lifetime. So thank you all for encouraging & supporting me right through…
As many of you my readers already know, I diligently practice writing a post every day for over three years now…
This is beautiful canvas space of expression for myself on all the little things that come my way and touch me one way or the other
The Vision Ahead …
I believe I am now ready to explore the idea of compiling a book of my writings. So I would truly love to hear from those of you who have walked the path of publishing your books.
Yes there is a lot of information on the internet about publishing, but I think to listen to you my readers, and hear your individual and unique wisdom garnered from your own experiences in publishing a book as a fellow writer would add a relevant perspective.
And secondly if you could share your thoughts of my writings, it would help in understanding more of what you envision of me as a writer.
Would you care to write and share about what are the steps to publish a book?
And as a reader if you have been following my posts here, what genre do you think my works could do well?
It would be really nice to learn from you all.
Do share your experiences, and leave tips for the road ahead in publishing a book if any.
It would be certainly be a step ahead.

On Trust & Leadership
Leadership in teams.
If you have been leading teams at work…
How important do you think is a culture of trust to an enterprise and its growth?
How would it be possible to create, nurture & sustain trust in teams?
On a scale of 1 to 10 where do you think the team you lead, is in terms of trustfulness?
Companies spend a lot of their resources planning for engagements that are geared towards trust building.
There are get together, team lunches, resort trips arranged, and social events organized to ensure every one has a good time and build a rapport with each other.
What are the genuine ways of trust building in teams?
What makes a team trust a leader?
Trust is a significant and valuable trait to build into any functional team.
And it is the responsibility of the leader to create an atmosphere for trust to follow through in teams.
Besides skills and abilities to lead and show direction to the team when in need, a leader’s trust quotient increases when they are ready to be vulnerable enough to let the team understand that after all, we are together through the thick and thin.
Secondly, it is important for a leader to be able to cultivate clarity in communication. And shares the bigger picture with the team, so they understand the intent for a plan.
More than anything else, it makes way for an authentic and open culture of trustful action and responses.
And speaking of responses, an effective and efficient leader will seek feedbacks to create a proper follow-ups and follow through of any intention.
Whenever a leader internalizes these values as habits of being authentic and vulnerable with their team, trust is born.
In every effort taken towards creating clarity & consistency in the channels of communication with their team, trust is built.
And while finding resolutions through followups with timely responses, trust is sustained in the teams.
Great organization begins with teams that place value on trustfulness as an important part of the growth mindset.

Notice the Good
Sometimes the simple act of noticing something good can make all the difference…
Trust there is always more
Than what your eyes can see
In the sensing and the knowing
The yet undiscovered good manifests
Right before you for you to notice.

A Space of Calm Where the Soul Thrives.
Amidst the flurry of thoughts
There is a space in the sensing
That heals the hurt and embalms
The spirit of the soul
To recover and rejuvenate
In this invisible space is the secret
Of knowing there is always an answer
To every doubt and confusion
In this space is a silent knowing
Of serenity of wisdom
In hope beyond the reigning chaos
All things happen in good time
Is knowing the power of patience
And the strength of good faith.
There is every reason to believe
In this space, our soul thrives.

Self belief
Power of positive belief
Self belief and self confidence has a way of showing up …beyond ourselves
In the way we treat others around us
The way we take time out to ensure
That they are cared for and understood
The way we trust ourselves to do much more…
Self belief makes us, own the space we occupy…
And makes us shine the light on others and yet shine our own brilliance.

Free to be?
Every continent has become an island in itself,
Every country has become a fort in itself,
Every state has become a prison in itself,
Every city has become a jail in itself,
Every family live in confinement ,
Every member is confined to their solitary cell.
Afraid to travel, afraid to meet,
Afraid to hug ,all in their own cell.
Nature endowed us with power to protect.
Our selfish greed ,ego and pride
put us in this unfathomable pit.
What we have done to ourselves.
In the name of research n development
We have ended up in our own hell.
Never cross boundaries with Nature
None can stand its powerful nature.
The lessons learnt are never to forget.
All long for the bygone past
wandering freely in spaces vast,
Celebrating occasions
mingling with relations.
Humble down to Cosmic rules
Simple joys will surface in our pools .

The Open Mind.
“A mind is like a parachute. It doesn’t work if it isn’t open.” – Frank Zappa
You decide how much your mind is ready to receive.
Your mind is as open as you want it to be…
