Sometimes life makes you teach yourself many things…
Giving the benefit of doubt
There are many crossroads in life be it in a career with any organisation or in partnerships, or even personally between people or teams, where point of views are different and clash of perspectives on decisions are bound to occur.
Can you agree to disagree?
For most, it is challenging as its not always easy to come to terms with what affects you or makes you emotional. Yet learning ways to give the benefit of doubt, calls for development of strategic skills.
It is important to process any conflict of interest, you may have with others , first with your own self.
Check if you can find the root of your disagreement with a particular decision.
What is it that you are not aligned with?
Why are you feeling this way?
Empathic Perspectives
Then begin to imagine if you are able to bring empathy by setting aside your feelings on what you are yet unable to accept and think from the other persons perspective, does the view alter then? Does it change your thoughts a bit?
If you can alternatively, also think if you choose to agree, in the larger interest, does it benefit or can it make your team bond together.
Let’s also not discount the possibility of you having less information about the reasons for any decision taken.
Ultimately, whatever way you chose to think or act is your choice to take. But sometimes when it may seem impossible to make sense of things do remember, there is always more than what meets the eye!
Just when we are teaching the world Empathy for human life. One human to another human. We are moving rapidly to a world Of AI. Letting it almost lead our lives… We are drawn hook line and sinker We are getting enslaved by its use…. We are teaching Al many things. From Art to Design our human needs are soon getting fulfilled by Al. It is alarming to note at times. We are teaching it every moment Training it to clone our voices and create our own Avatars. And we are in awe and appreciation of the dehumunization across most aspects of life.
May be we need to also teach it humanity. And not to mention Empathy Kindness Respect Compassion and most of all the values of Love!
Else very soon earth might not be inhabitable thanks to a new generation that grows with intelligence without heart.

As a dancer, I often use my dance education and experiences by associating concepts and find it helps me understand and evolve in the many life challenges and relate to the changing world.
In a world where almost everyone is interfacing with ChatGPT and AI and finding new and improved ways of prompting for application of technology for every day use, I find some relevant associations here with partner dancing and technology.
Dancing & Prompting has a lot in common A dance with a partner is an action and response More than a reaction. Likewise in today’s world every day is a dance with AI and our prompts are nothing but inputs towards an intelligent response than just a reaction. The better the input the better the output. Here I want to share a few thoughts for starters Dancing with a partner is about being in tandem, one leading the way and one following without anticipation Likewise prompting is about giving clear directions without ambiguity. To dance is to set and hold the frame In a good prompt setting the context and format helps to streamline the output.
In a dance the music sets the movements of the dance… And in a prompt sharing the example of what it feels like helps clearer and relevant output.
In a dance a leader can evaluate as you go which steps will work with which partner. Assessing the dance space available helps in evaluating the flow. For there are no second moves… Whatever you do decides the dance flow… And you are free to improvise your self as you go along
Likewise in prompts evaluation helps check what is working and tweaking it gives better quality output.
When a dancer is a professional Dancing a single step may feel fluid but in breaking down the steps it’s easier to understand the flow. In prompting dividing the steps well into multiple steps connected to a certain goal will give desired results.
Be it a dance with partner or with words for AI when you have a clear intention and purpose and are able to communicate what you want and where you want to reach, in easily understable and suitable way not only will you reach your destination You will enjoy the journey!
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.
A thought in kindness A word of kindness A deed in kindness Count up much more Than you realise Imagine the wealth of joy You will have created In a lifetime.
Every moment creates it’s own energy. It manifests from intentions & the way we feel. For it can change the energy quotient in the Now.
I choose to sense the serendipity,
I envision it’s flow and perhaps a world that WALTZES magically in the serendipity.
I choose to find it in and around me.If I am feeling a little low…
I choose to reimagine the world in hope and intend in positivity.
The energies that surround us, listen to what we say in every second.
I am smiling as I have thought of this now.
I feel light in my heart and though I would love to fly to a million places all at the same time. But this now I have with me. I choose to value it’s infinite possibilities.
And I am grateful for this moment in awareness. Hope to share my heartfelt positivity for this now.
