Creative Journey

Photo by Meruyert Gonullu on Pexels.com

Creativity thrves in an open minded approach with an ability to trust and try.


To take a chance is to take a step into the unexplored unknown dimensions of potential possibilities.

The creative spirit is replenished in such an atmosphere.The forays into the unknown can be a pure game of chance.

A dare unto beyond that may or may not pay rich dividends. But in those trials and tribulations a creative soul is nurtured. And new paths are created to journey on!

It’s about…

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?

Nature finds its way

We are what we are
With the possibilities for evolution
Inside us all.
And yet each arrives at their own time
To the journey meant for them
To carve a path that they are meant to.
Life never claims to be fair
Life is as is
It is within us to know
What to hold on to hone, or set free
For nature is always in flow
And true nature always finds its way.

Infinite vibrance

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.

It will feel just right…

There is always hope

For things to get better

There is always tommorow

Another day full of promise

Keep the faith and trust

It will feel just right.

Trust the journey

Every moment offers immense possibilities

In the infinite potential

Those who can focus on what drives them

In passion, trustful patience & dedicated perseverance

Can reach where they choose to go…

Acknowledgement

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.

Lovely idea

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.

On Gratefulness

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.

Say Yes to Life

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!

Life is in this cup of now

How do you fill your cup of life?

How often?

What makes you happy?

Filling the cup of life cannot happen

Without making space to enjoy life’s moments

Let the cup of life overflow

In the sharing of joy

The cup of Now:

Create space in your cup of time

For solitude and reflections

Allow yourself to make sense

Of moments without overwhelm.

Take a moment to pause…

And begin to enjoy the sip of this cup in this now.

For life is in this cup of now.

Valuing Family

In every relationship

Family, friendship or at work

All is a matter of values

We inculcate through life.

https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7045730457279221760?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_android

When it all starts from respect

And ends with respect.

There is dignity of being

In a world distanced in reality

By technology and internet

Increasing the screentimes

And enslaving people

There is much need

To use it to our advantage

Than be redundant with it.

On Serendipity

On Serendipity

A delightful start to the day came from a sensational photo share on Serendipity by a friend Amina Alami.

Serendipity appears for us to sense from nowhere… Juxtaposed in the joy of the discovery.

Speaking of Serendipity… I am sharingΒ  a flow of thoughts coincidentally…

There is always  a reason
Nothing is accidental they say
Yet much occurs in goodwill & coincidence

In being in the moment
You are ready to give and receive
With all of you.

In being able to flow with the changes
You begin to see beyond the challenges
Life is what you can make of it
Β 
When the intentions are pleasant
There is always something salibrious
That you can find without searching

Sense the Serendipity flowingΒ  your way!
Carpe diem, Seize the moment!
Live life Lovingly!

Nature’s Wisdom

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.
