“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.

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?

In an array of thoughts
Imagine it and it manifests
And every time you do
Know you are creating joy
Within and around you.

A share of profound thoughts from my mother
Life lessons
It is not about what we are having or doing.
It is about how we are feeling.
It is about how we make others feel.
It is not about where or how we are staying
It is about with whom we are staying.
It is not about where and what we have studied.
It is about what we are speaking.
It is about the tone of our talking.
It is not about the form or attire we are wearing.
It is about the approach n attitude we are having.
We live not with the luxuries of life
But with the state of our mind , our constant companion.
One word, or one stare has the power to change the whole state of mind, irrespective of the surrounding.
Being aware n having the right attitude in this ever changing life and making them Positive ones is within one’s reach.
All it needs is the effort to make even the harsh moments to consoling & soothing moments with the right words n approach.
Yes. It needs a lot of training n conditioning to change the mind set, to walk the right path.
Yet it is worth trying as it brings peace n happiness to self & others.
Ultimately it is what we all are seeking. Right?

Our vibrance
Our universe is full of waves of energy.
And all life is a dance of energy in varied forms .
In the subatomic level all is vibrational and moving.
We are all pulsating oceans of energy fields.
This very waves of energy is what makes us unique as we are in ourselves and in the way we move and interact with one another.

For things to get better
There is always tommorow
Another day full of promise
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.

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
If only we can remind ourselves
Of the preciousness of this now
We will perhaps be more conscious of how we are
Of how life transforms itself
In living life
In mindful awareness
We perhaps will value
The necessity of gratitude
In our everyday moments
And that every now is precious
Enough to fill with gratitude.
Savvy
You are greater than your circumstances
And powerful than you can ever begin to imagine
And in all having faith trust & self belief by your side gives you the confidence to take a step towards your dreams and say yes to life!

In any organization
When leadership listens
Empathy is nurtured
Safe space is created
Conversations connect
Teams bond in trustfulness
Productivity rises
In balanced motivation
Both intrinsic & external
Work becomes less dense
In collaboration & cooperation
Valuing diversity of potential
Possibilities are explored
Challenges gets simplified
Structure becomes systems
Protocols are in place
Change is acknowledged
In faith goodwill and trust
That we are stronger together
There is unity in diversity
As respect becomes culture.
Trust becomes the way.

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.

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.

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 with digital technology.
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 change, 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 in one way or other coming to terms of 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.
