All is a dance

There is a dance
In every leaf and flower
In every bud and bloom
In every twig and tree
In every turn and twist
In every life in the living
Of natures creation.
There is grace of uniqueness
Of patterns, of wisdom Beyond compare…
All knowing, all pervading
Magnificent Omnipresence.
Amazing Nature
Amazing Grace.

An intelligence called Empathy


Empathy is a social intelligence  worth having and honing
Empathy meets you where you are as you are
Without judgements and competition
Empathy is a resiunding resonance
Empathic communication  leaves you touched and heard.
Empathy allows you to show acceptance and sense connection.


Empathy walks through and paves its way into the heart
Empathy is about sensing anothers heart and its ways
Empathy motivates the spirit and nurtures the being.
Empathy is a social intelligence
A much needed life skill
Empathy speaks more powerfully than words as its from all of you
Empathy connects through  in an instant.
For Empathy is the way of the heart and heart knows the way.

On Trustfulness

A changing world


In this world of metaverses and advanced technology where emotional connects  brings us closer, no matter the actual physical  distance, building & sustaining trustfulness, integrity becomes paramount benchmarks  for buisnesses in digital space. Companies that can understand this need and work around it by providing clarity of information and create experiences with strong data securities will have an advantage. Even terms and policies on user data needs transparent communication.


On the other hand the question  remains  how the world will adapt to new ways of work with avatars taking prominence over actual humans. The lines of real and virtual are truly interweaved. While this generation born in a digital world is synced in with the changes like AI storming in to our life, the earlier  generation is still reeling with trust issues with digital technology.

Changing Times…

Times are changing and how, from a generation that grew up without phones & computers…   to a world  that knows not to be, without a mobile phone & laptops!

Trustful Connections


In all this change, there is still one element of truth that is consistently evident.
The need for  human connection. As development improves the way we interact with one another it is getting extremely important to feel a sense of trust.The way of work has higher need for transparency along with the responsibility.And that is creating more interdependence and collaborative styles of work.
Autocracy has to move to meritocracy for trust to be formed. For we are in one way or other coming to terms of living in a world  where everyone can function from anywhere at the touch of button and can be informed and aware in real time.

Sustainability

Challenges are plenty but solutions are also clear.Leading the change building trust. Creating and sustaining better relationships.It’s all in us, the way we behave interact and live each moment. Trust takes time to form and be instilled. Once trust is gained it becomes a gamechanger. In any successful relationship be it professional or personal, it is important to understand the need to cultivate and sustain efforts towards trustful connections.

Social Wisdom

(IT IS A SHARED POST)

Repost credits- Treeza Rodrigues

SOME SOCIAL RULES THAT MAY HELP YOU:

  1. Don’t call someone more than twice continuously. If they don’t pick up your call, presume they have something important to attend to;
  2. Return money that you have borrowed even before the person that borrowed you remember or ask for it. It shows your integrity and character. Same goes with umbrellas, pens and lunch boxes.
  3. Never order the expensive dish on the menu when someone is giving you a lunch/dinner.
  4. Don’t ask awkward questions like ‘Oh so you aren’t married yet?’ Or ‘Don’t you have kids’ or ‘Why didn’t you buy a house?’ Or why don’t you buy a car? For God’s sake it isn’t your problem;
  5. Always open the door for the person coming behind you. It doesn’t matter if it is a guy or a girl, senior or junior. You don’t grow small by treating someone well in public;
  6. If you take a taxi with a friend and he/she pays now, try paying next time;
  7. Respect different shades of opinions. Remember what’s 6 to you will appear 9 to someone facing you. Besides, second opinion is good for an alternative;
  8. Never interrupt people talking. Allow them to pour it out. As they say, hear them all and filter them all;
  9. If you tease someone, and they don’t seem to enjoy it, stop it and never do it again. It encourages one to do more and it shows how appreciative you’re;
  10. Say “thank you” when someone is helping you.
  11. Praise publicly. Criticize privately;
  12. There’s almost never a reason to comment on someone’s weight. Just say, “You look fantastic.” If they want to talk about losing weight, they will;
  13. When someone shows you a photo on their phone, don’t swipe left or right. You never know what’s next;
  14. If a colleague tells you they have a doctors’ appointment, don’t ask what it’s for, just say “I hope you’re okay”. Don’t put them in the uncomfortable position of having to tell you their personal illness. If they want you to know, they’ll do so without your inquisitiveness;
  15. Treat the cleaner with the same respect as the CEO. Nobody is impressed at how rude you can treat someone below you but people will notice if you treat them with respect;
  16. If a person is speaking directly to you, staring at your phone is rude;
  17. Never give advice until you’re asked;
  18. When meeting someone after a long time, unless they want to talk about it, don’t ask them their age and salary;
  19. Mind your business unless anything involves you directly – just stay out of it;
  20. Remove your sunglasses if you are talking to anyone in the street. It is a sign of respect. Moreso, eye contact is as important as your speech; and
  21. Never talk about your riches in the midst of the poor. Similarly, don’t talk about your children in the midst of the barren.

22.After reading a good message try to say “Thanks for the message”.

APPRECIATION remains the easiest way of getting what you don’t have….

On Sacredness

What makes it sacred

Is it in the feeling

Or in the invoking

Is it in the sensing

Or in the believing

Sacred is holy,

Sacred is divine

Because there is faith

For without it nothing is

With faith anything is possible

For you see the divinity

In every life.

Sense the divinity

In one another.

And life becomes sacred in every moment.

Wind in the shell

We are all mere wind in a shell
Winding &unwinding
Our thoughts in every now


We are travellers shoring our souls
One beach to another
Evolving along the way…

Gift of this now

This now is full of infinite possibilities

For every day is replete with potential

Whatever the path you take

Your life’s moments are a gift

You are meant to sense

So care to take a moment

To acknowledge the gifts

Of this moment as it is

See how everything connects

To every thing else.

And if you truly wish

You can create more moments

Of joy and light in & around u

Start simply by a practice

Of acknowledging this moment in this now..

Make today count!

The truth is in shifting perspective with movements

The emotion you feel within changes everything

So if you begin to work on positive shaping

Of your thoughts with a simple smile

Then the smile begins to emanate from the heart

On Nurturing

It’s all in the nurturing
Plant a life in hope
Nurture seeds of compassion
Water it everyday  with kind deeds
Nourish the roots  with care  Enrich it with  love for life
What you plant in your heart becomes you
And you reap what you sow

Now the question  is what are you nurturing  in this now ?
And what do you want to nurture today?

Balancing Life

No matter how busy you think you are

There is always space to learn and understand more

Space to grow and evolve

And it all starts with a little shift in perspective.

A little rebalancing from the way things are…

Work & life

It often amazes me to see the adulation that certain people have for being the first to arrive and last to leave their workplace. I wonder if anyone has cared to check how their families feel about this?

Many on the so called respected and admired list, are people who are workaholics, burning out by the minute.

They are there, working beyond the call of duty perhaps out of personal passion, sense of ownership and responsibility or even perhaps because they feel they can’t afford to fail, may be even because it gives them an edge of pride to be known as some one who is committed.

However life is about balance and simply put, more of one leads to less of another. The trick is the wisdom of balance and steering clear of extremes.

To every workaholic out there here are few reflections…

☆Avoid stretching yourself too thin.You are already on razors edge and you are hurting one part of your life, if you continue to do what you do. Reclaim your life. Find other passions and take care of your health. Stay safe than sorry.

☆Your personal life is at stake and is also your responsibility.

☆Bringing home the money and comforts is just one half of the whole. Your family is best nurtured by your loving presence in their lives.

☆Your absence at home and family/ social affairs is missed at first and then adapted with along the way to a point of being indifferent to your presence in time. Because you are never there for them.

☆ At a certain point in life, lack of care and connection begins to show and no amount of money can be valued over time .

☆Money cannot buy love they say and it certainly becomes true, as people begin to use you for your money and you will never feel fulfilled and content after spending it.

☆Everything around you becomes materialistic to the point of manipulation and its your own doing as you threw in the money and comforts where ever and whenever your time was required or requested.

☆Relationships become meaningless without a sense of togetherness. Missing out time with another in the excuse of being busy for years will take a toll on personal life. People will get used to you not being around for them and then expecting them to be there for you when you need them is a selfish ask.

☆Your children will be affected by your continued absence . Your presence in their growing years is very important for their holistic well being. Your partner will be angry or isolated with you. And expecting things to be different as you continue your ways is not going to change anything.

☆However in recognizing the signs of workaholic and your choosing to balance different aspects of your life will start making a meaningful difference.

☆For starters acknowledge your value for your time and energy.

☆Speaking of your energy , if you have spent most of your day at work , how will you find yourself able to give more of you as you have exhausted yourself

☆Recognize where it’s slipping away and start to chalk out a balancing plan. It can transform your life and those around you.

☆Find moments that are solely yours and use it for your personal development.

☆Your career is only one part of your life. It helps you sustain your life but the relationships you have nourishes you. Without it you have no true sense of purpose.

☆If you are one of those who are thinking of grabbing opportunities and climbing the corporate ladder acknowledge that you may possibly often have an unsatisfactory family relationship at the end of it all.

☆Your passion for your work may begin to affect your health watch out early signs of strain and stress and care to take help .

Thankfully today the world is more aware of work week and many countries are Consciously doing something about it. How it affects productivity in time will be seen and how much it could contribute to work life balance, but it definitely is time reclaimed for family.

The truth is its about prioritization of what’s important for well-being in life. Personal and professional lives both are important and have demands that need your time. So balance is the key.

Making lemonade

They say when life gives you lemons make a lemonade and enjoy it!

Profoundly said indeed!

Wisdom is in seeing what is possible

Making the best out of the resources

With whatever there is at hand.

It’s not always easy to see hope in scarcity

For it demands thinking beyond the limitations.

Bringing forth ingenuity & integration

Then all that’s impossible becomes worthwhile once again.

For such is life in the living.

A little sour and a little sweet

And it’s all in the tasting.

And about sensing in every sip.

And faith and love is nurtured in hope.

On Food & Feeding

The best form of Charity is Food they say…

For when there is food donated and served

You will at one point hear ‘Enough’ from people

No other form of charity

Gives this point of satiation.

Keep feeding and drive out hunger.

Make sure to do your bit

Avoid food hoarding & wastage as much as you can.

Gifts of feelings

In the myriad moments
And multitude of experiences
In life and living.

There is so much going on
Betwixt and between us all.
So much to live and care for…

Often unsaid words
& repressed feelings
Are brimming in the sensing

Emotions have their way
Of expressing themselves
At inopportune moments.

But if we choose to take time
We can channel our thoughts
In mindful awareness.

Perhaps our emotions
Can be our precious gift
To sense and balance the self.

We are blessed with all
That we need from nature
Let’s acknowledge our gifts.
