It’s not just about your intelligence
It’s about your understanding
It’s not just about your skills
It’s about your application.
What matters …
Is not just in what you have
But in what you do with it

All in good time …
It’s worth pausing…
Contemplation before knee jerk reactions will always be beneficial
The truth is cultivating the art of patience takes time and consistent endeavour .
And yes it all adds up to self belief, trust and faith , valuing the precious now in this journey .
All is well in time.
All in good time.
Good is happening
Good is happening
In every now
If you truly care
To tune in to sense.

Find yourself
In the daily grinds of life
Take a conscious moment.
Move beyond the apparent.
Witness the world
Observe nature
The sun moon & the stars
Sense the fragrance of Flowers
Dancing in the wind
See the moving clouds
Shaping patterns & disappearing
Watch it all sense it all
And then delving deeper
Sense the intangibles
Understand the unspoken words
Beyond whats visible
Seek the wisdom untold.
You will find yourself.

Just be
Sense this moment
It’s with you
Only in this now
And then it moves on
Into another moment
And then another.
Time goes on
But if you can
Breathe in this now
Allowing yourself
To still your fluttering self
Calm your mind
Ease in your being
In this now
Then every now
Speaks much
Emotes much
Back to you
For you to discover
The truths of your being .
Just be…

When push comes to shove…
So many masters with ideas…
Many motivating words around
On how to ace productivity
On how to get things done
And manage the chaos that reigns
When push comes to shove
Every thing takes a backseat
You simply need to steer
Racing against time for dear life
In the toughest times
Good habits come to rescue
Like discipline and dedication
Helps complete tasks at hand.
How have your habits helped rescue you ?

Chase not the bird
Attachment is the root cause of suffering.
If love is a bird
And the bird has chosen to fly
Chase not the bird
For the bird has already flown
When you encounter a love
That chooses to fly
Chase not that love
For it has left your presence
Detach yourself from it
And let it fly
And thank the bird
For the change that it brought…
It was meant for you
To clear space in and around you
To grow and evolve
And transform yourself.
For the better.

Lightness of being
Lightness of being
Sense the lightness of life
And you begin feeling lighter
And lighter in every now…
Enough to flap your wings
And express yourself
From where you are…

So you are angry?
So you are angry?
Now what?
Do you think it is helping you ?
For anger never helps
It only hurts .
Here are six things you can do for balancing your emotions and feeling better.
1.Become Aware that you are reacting than responding in your anger is the first step
2.Counting backwards from 20 to 1.
3. Removing yourself from the place you are feeling angry even for a short while by going for a short walk helps settle your emotions.
4. Switch words is a technique to use feeling oriented words to create powerful change of emotions with imagery to manage anger.
For example a positive word like Happy can evoke different feelings.
Or words like ‘take it easy ‘can evoke a sense of ease.
5. Better still is taking to chanting mantras, or hearing your favorite upbeat music , or even Journaling.
6. If nothing else imagining ocean tides in a flow and breathing deeply, in and out even for a few minutes eases the tense body & mind.
Remember to acknowledge your emotions as there is more harm in suppression. As you find healthy pathways to manage your anger, you bring wellbeing into your life
Live life lovingly💙

For they are meant for us.
It is up to us to become aware of it

And most of all
Every life is a gift

- Acknowledge with Self Awareness by scanning your entire body to sense what, when and where,and how often you are feeling this way.
- Address it by allowing yourself to be more flexible and open to new perspectives without fear.

Surf the waves
To swim and surface
Is daring the waves.
Like any ocean surfer knows
We are all equal before a wave.
While you may not be able to control everything
And learning curve may be steep
You adapt to ride the waves.
For waves are a part of the flow
In the cycle of life.
A wise leader knows
the highs and lows
Are part of the same flow.

Each knows
Sometimes a little pause or silence
Sometimes a little break from monotony
Can be a gamechanger
In the rut of routine
To unshackle the soul
And set the spirit free to imagine
And spark the creative fire within…
Wouldn’t you agree?
And I suppose how much of it all, is an answer each knows… in the journey of becoming.
Perfectly Imperfect
We are what we are
As humans we are vulnerable beings, strengthened by our very vulnerability.
As for our notions of the nuances
As for our presumptions and prejudices
Along with our unique sense of self contrived our otherwise
We are only human we are capable of being humane.
We are alive & breathing in this now
And no matter the despair and frustration
No matter the weight of the world
No matter the fragmented existence
No matter our human fragility…
We carry on as we are
exploring & discovering
thriving and creating
history…
We are complete beings in our acknowledging incompleteness.
We are perfect beings with all our so called imperfections.
And we strive to do our best with what we have
If everything is complete and perfect then there would be no wonder to evolve us along…
As that’s what makes us who we are.
