A pebble of love

Creative poetry for the above image.

Born a raw stone

I am a pebble

A force of nature

Through the tumults of life

The highs & lows

Around the bend

Smoothening the spikes

Rounding the edges

Until the spirit shines through.

What matters?

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

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 ?

A leap of faith.

A leap of faith Is what makes life a life.
Take the chances
That you choose to let go.                Be intentional
So that life doesn slip away.

Take the chance

May be they turn out the best decision of your life.

They say opportunity does not knock twice..

So take a leap of faith.

So when you hear the calling of your heart & soul..

Trust you can and you can!

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…

Thriving rich?

Being rich is living life exploring and discovering all your possibilities of your potential

Being rich is being able to realize the potential of you.

Being rich is being ready to sense the abundance that is.

Money is not necessarily the only factor for your worth.

Your worth is being all that you are.

You are rich in knowing your worth.

Be enriched in health wealth & prosperity but most of all be rich in the heart and mind.

In realization of the contentment of what you have, you are truly rich!

On Commitment

An interesting  quote on relationships  I read this morning…

The relationship between commitment and doubt is by no means an antagonistic one. Commitment is healthiest when it’s not without doubt but in spite of doubt.

Rollo May

As I reflected on the above words  a few thoughts came to me…

On life and relationships

Is there an interplay of doubt and commitment?

Is there commitment when in doubt?

What happens when doubt creeps in the committed?

Whenever they intersect there are conflicts

Whether at opposition or not

Both are in thoughts

Dashing from one extreme to another

At times contradicting at times rationalising

And returning back to apparent normalcy

When doubt dances in, commitment feels the burn

When commitment is strong, doubt rests on the back burner.

Have always felt there needs to be trust in a relationship as much as compromise else even the strongest of relationships fall apart.

What are your thoughts ? Do share.

"In the end, just three things matter: How well we have lived How well we have loved How well we have learned to let go” Jack Kornfield

Handling Difficult People

If ever you are in a position where you are hurt and helpless and want to help yourself out of this situation  check on your own behavior

Are you speaking and sharing   more than you should?

Are you over explaining and try to match up to anothers expectations and not valuing your own strengths?

Are you defending yourself  when the other person  refuses to understand  anothers perspective?

Are you too sensitive and taking things personally  when actually  the source of the issues or the problem is not you at all?

Often  it is self awareness that is the first step towards bettering your life.

A self check to see your reactions  is definitely a way to improving  how you handle and manage difficult people in life.

Tbe way to make life favorable  to you , is in living as if all is rigged in  your favor.

Are you feeling lonesome and blue?

Are you lonely and perhaps  feeling lost?

Are you afraid of being lonely?

Loneliness is a silent killer.

Not easy to deal with. It can catch  you when you are least aware.And it may seem challenging with the changing season.

Every person alive might have to battle it in different  degrees one time or another  in their lifetime .

Often it may be, the fear of ending up alone that people make wrong personal choices. 

Often those very choices are the reason one feels lonely.

For there are times you can be feeling lonely in a room full of people.

Sometimes you have a life partner but feel there is no true companionship.

Sometimes you are actually alone with nobody around and hence feel lonely.

Circumstances may be different  and varied for every one but the condition is one, of being lonely.

There is a thoughtworthy words I read, that comes to mind on loneliness.

Loneliness is the poverty of the self

Solitude is the richness of the self.

Now that changes the perspective doesn’t it .

What you envision your life, life becomes, such is the power of visualization and intention.

No matter where you are or who you are with,

Remember, you are never truly lonely if you flip the script…

Think you have you

Value the life you have

You are alive as yet

And you are enough for you.

On Wisdom

What to speak of wisdom?

Tommorows wisdom

Is open to learn

From the errors in this now.

In the listening, in the living

In the feeling in the sensing.

So much to understand…

Question remains are we open

to acknowledge  the misses,

as a part of being human ?

Are we ready to receive

from these experiences…

Seeking wisdom in the lessons.

Effortless movements

When you move

Move with energy

Allow the movements

To flow through you

And from you harmoniously

As you move you will sense

The effortlessness of  movements

With practice it becomes a flow
