Rise up to the moment at hand
Have hope feed the faith
For the day is not done.

Power of Belief
What do you think you deserve?
The answer paves the way
To bring it to your life.
As you intend
You believe.
As you believe
You intend.
You manifest your intentions.
The universe gives you,
As you think and intend.
Your thoughts matter.
Believe well.
Think well intend well.
For it matters more than you know.

Habitually Angry?
When was the last time you got really angry?
Just a while ago, yesterday, few days ago, a week a few months or can’t remember the last time you were really angry?
There are many causes of anger and often, the root is in irritation, frustration neglect or abuse or even unfairness.
Often anger comes and goes…
But when you are unable
To let go of habitual anger
It’s a path of distress
That leads to self destruction
Anger poisons the mind & body
Leading to rage when out of control.
Yet, its part of being human.
Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
Buddha
When anger has an emotional attachment and it gets difficult to let go easily. Mindfulness then is the path to emotional freedom.
Seneca the ancient Roman philosopher had a very relevant remedy for anger… He said, the greatest remedy for anger is delay.
How you choose to channel your thoughts
And effectively manage anger
Is what makes all the difference.
How do you express anger?
Are you assertive or aggressive?
This is what matters more
More importantly when angry
Can you say what’s on your mind
Can you even speak in a clear way?
Or are you emotions clouding you?
Perhaps you are suppressing anger
Then chances are it may surge
And unexpectedly so.
So instead, can you channelize your anger?
For then you control your anger
Before it controls you.

Add your thoughts…
Learnings in the sharings.
The best kind of learning is in the sharing of thoughts and ideas, for it kindles more learnings.
I share today this interesting and profound para forward translation from Tamil by my mother to which I too have added a few verses.
If it interests you, pls feel free to contribute your thoughts here… The message in the translation is very relevant. I sincerely hope it creates a chain of collaborative thoughts.
Today is Gurupurnima. And I take this occasion to thank my mother my first Guru & all the teachers in my life for the learnings in the sharings as well.
The fish which swims in water, doesn’t know that it’s end will come by its food only.( Ignorance)
How much ever beautiful the deer be, the tiger doesn’t appreciate its beauty, it is behind its taste. (Pride, arrogance)
Translation from Tamil by Anjana
There is no pride in Beauty
It matters not, in times of survival
The frog becomes prey to snake by its sound only.(boasting)
In spite of knowing it will get killed , the scorpion bites ( haste)
The way to one’s downfall is ignorance, pride, arrogance, boasting and haste.
Anjana
Adding my musings to it this morning…
The wisdom of Mindfulness
Ignorance may not be bliss after all. There is no pride in Beauty
It matters not, in times of survival
Your so called assets can be a weakness
That makes you and marks you out.
Without mindfulness
Moves become meaningless
For one move can decide life’s fate
Without survival tactics
Life cannot exist.
Beauty pride vanity speed
Gifts & Riches of any kind
Abilities and skills…
Be it your voice or earnings
Mistake not these your strengths.
For true strength
Is discretion And discernment
In what how when and where.
And in moderation & mindfulness
Lies the Wisdom Of Balance.

Tune in
As you dance
Tapping your toes
To your own heartbeats
Life senses your rhythm
And waltzes along with you,
The joy of life
Manifests itself
Tuning into the melody of the harmony.
Creating music that beats in the synchrony.

Faith Love Truth
Master your mind they say
Before it masters you
Acknowledge the truths of life
For mind is full of thoughts
Creating countless thoughts
Know the value of mindfulness
Being mindful is about self awareness
To master the mind
Master your thoughts
Become aware of this now.
Whatever is this moment
Sense it and you breathe in it
Feel it and be alive in it
For the truth is in every moment
What you decide to do in this now
Has power to change and rearrange
Your state of being.
Life is precious
Have faith and trust
Stay hopeful in every breath.
For the truth is you can.
After all the mind works
On what you feed it.

On Thoughts Beliefs & Awareness
Thoughts and beliefs
On power of belief :
When you deeply believe
You are bound to manifest
In the deepest intentions
Such is the way of creation
And the power of belief
On memories & thoughts:
Your memories are your thoughts that arise
They are a vision a feelings of things that were…
But in the power of belief they begin to have power over you. Your emotions come into play.
On Awareness of thoughts
But in your depth of awareness you realise thoughts come and go, then you also realise that you are above your thoughts and therein you begin to sense your limitless self.

Embrace your U- ness
In your uniqueness lies the strength
Of Authenticity
Of Identity
Of Potential
Being you and being true to yourself is the simplest path towards your purpose.
And yet often being you at times can be challenging.
For life can demand much from you and you need to go beyond and bend backwards and forwards to surf through life’s unexpected turns.
But by being true to yourself you are at least sure to have your heart and head in check and balance, where your inner conscience meets your consciousness.
Embrace and embody your U-ness

On Communication
On Miscommunication
Nobody shares to confuse,
but at times the way of understanding and sharing can be confusing.
People are unique in the way they communicate with one another.
Some have oratory skills and make a profound impact in the way they speak, some are deeply introverted and reserved and say less.
Some have keen listening skills and hear to understand and others understand from visual senses. For them it’s about what they see for themselves than what they hear. So they pay lesser attention to sound but more to what they see.
Yet others are deeply intuitive that they sense the signs. They will be sensing beyond the words and vision.
Our unique senses are our biggest gifts but they can be the very reason for many misunderstandings between people.
In professional environment there is no room for errors and it can prove to be a costly mistake when internal and external communications gets misunderstood.
Hence its important to use the right communication channels. This helps align teams around a shared vision. Avoid departmental silos by helping different teams and departments to connect and work together. And ensure that there are developments towards cross-functional teams.
For the truth is, the way we communicate with one another can leave a lasting impression.

Learnings in the listening
I listened to my heart
Every day
As it shares from within
And I write them out as words
Sometimes as verses
At times it’s measured
In moderation.
Its a zen moment
For there is clarity
In just a few words shared.
Then there are times
They flow like a river
A torrent in a current
Patterning itself
In its own making
Words come through me
As if it needs to be spoken
Sharing the sensitivity
Of the moments at hand.
I listen simply with rapt attention.
For in the slightest flutter
In every movement in the moments
Or the depth of silence.
There is always something more.

On Kindness
Kindle the kindness
It’s the springwell of love
For love is limitless
Kindness generates
Heartfelt abundance
From one to another
Creating magic in action
Be it in words thoughts or deeds.
That best portion of a man’s life, his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.
William Wordsworth
Leave imprints in kindness
Every word you say
Every where you go
Every act you do in kindness
Every tree you plant
Makes a difference
For it is busy saving the world.
Be kind stay kind
It’s possible.

What’s louder than words?
This world…
Needs no pity
That feels sorry
Nor sympathy
That feels pain.
For feeling sorry
Or sensing pain
Will not solve
The issues at hand.
What one life truly needs from another…
Is empathy
To understand and relate with one another.
And compassion
That cares to help heal.
Whenever wherever
the dialogue changes
From I feel sorry,
To I will help you
Because I care…
The world will be a better place.
For action speaks louder than words.

Healing is in letting go
On Letting go
If you are feeling upset
Let time pass
Hurts will heal again
If you are angry
Let there be pauses
Anger will recede in the silence
If you are defeated
Let yourself know
That the world is a circle
The night breaks into a new dawn
With promises of a blessed new day!
So stay patient in perseverance
And know every phase has a reason to be
Learn to forgive and let go
And as all is meant to be well once again.
Writing is often a very cathartic experience.
Sometimes people unknowningly say things that hurt or upset another.
Today was one of those days. I chanced upon one of my old poems on letting go in forgiveness and it made much sense. I was able to move beyond simply by acknowledging the truth in those verses.
I simply had to share…

Unique pathways
We are uniquely ordained by nature yet so very interconnected that we can find versions of ourselves time and time again as reflections in the resonance.
For what we see in another is a reflection of our own lives, that is unique yet self similar in manifestations .
We all duel and pass through these reflections in our lives at different times in our own special ways.
Every life has its own reason to be. A purpose of being. Every life has its own story Every life unfolds in its own way.
