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

Dare your doubts

Have you faced self doubts and challenges  in uncertainty

Have you been unsure of yourself to take a decision. 

Here is an approach  that actually  changes the equation.

Instead of focusing on your doubts focus on your abilities. 

Value yourself

Dare your self doubts

Persevere in patience

To build on your skills

Keep the faith in you

Focus on your strengths

Add insights in exploration

Dissolve your selfedoubts

Work on your positives

Own your competences.

Strength of the soul

A glimpse of the intangible

Is often visible through signs

Like the strength of the soul

Appears in true forgiveness

In letting go of  fear of failure

In ability to start all over again

In letting go of negativity

In ability to center the self

In letting go of revenge mentality

In the ability to share kindness

In sensing the lightness of being

In awareness of the bigger picture.

The strength of the soul shines through.

Uniquely you

Photo by cottonbro on Pexels.com

Any creative enterprise

That makes you move

One step closer to your being

Tapping into infinte possibilities

Of your innate potential

Is a dance of your uniqueness

Remember this as you dare

To  create something

From known to the unknown

And making something new.

Coherence  Part 2 

Much happens in the sounds

Much happens in the silence

For it is never still

The troughs and crests

The highs and lows

The swing and the sways

Are all but a dance of waves

Of energy in the flow of life

Asserting in the ascent

And subsiding in the descent.

Shaping itself in the changes.

Much like notes of music

Coming together in coherence

And the spaces between notes

Making music to those

Who care to sense.

All parts to the same whole

Finding meaning  in itself.

Finding purpose for itself.

Such is the circle  of life.

Savvy

Coherence

A painting by Savvy Raj

When energy aligns

Syncing in synchrony

There is a dance of coherence

Resonance occurs

In these changes

No matter the circumstances

No matter the challenges

Creating connections

Building bridges 

Narrowing gaps 

In understanding

Bettering communication

Everything  comes together

And begins to make sense.

Your choices, your way

A painting by Savvy Raj

Every thing that interests you

Every word that you choose to hear & say

Every book you choose to read

Every thing you choose to do

Every place you choose to be

Is an open book of yourself

Your choices come from you

You have it all within

In your choices is a dimension

Of your own truths.

Embedded with in you

Awaiting emergence.

You manifest your own way.

What is something you love about nature?

The vibrancy of nature
The adaptability of creation
The constancy of change
The arresting colours
Unshackling of spirit
The inter connections
Soulful vibes and sounds
Imparting wisdom profound
And not to forget
The enthralling  views
Are all things I love about nature
What about you?

On leadership.

Poignant truths  to remember for all leaders

You are human and not a machine and so is your team.

You are here to lead, not here to be liked by all. 

You will also make mistakes,  and that is how you learn

You will adapt as you cannot control everything, some things are unavoidable and  sooner you  acknowledge  it the better.

You will be challenged by a few in inexplicable ways , but these experiences will empower you.

Your teams will outgrow you in time, even if you have invested your all in them .

You will learn how to sustain in the letting go , that is the way of evolving with change.

And most of all the higher you climb the lonelier you will feel.

Be prepared to manage  it.

Life lessons from trees

Trust trees to teach us

The lessons in living life

In adaptation to change

In flexibility & resilience

In sustaining for the future

In giving,  sharing & letting go

Knowing the significance

Of bonds and boundaries

In networking and communication

Of perseverance in bearing fruits

To trust and wait in patience

And so much more…

Above all in faith, hope & self belief

To grow from a seed to a tree.

Are you a workaholic?

If you let work bleed into your  night
You will find yourself racing with time
Like a hamster on a wheel
Churning in the loop of your own doing .
