Be the brave heart that learns to dance with life.

And let your soul thrive in this dance of life.”

Hold The Door Open
HTDO
Mathews, a hotshot sales manager, on a Sunday evening, was in the parking lot of a shopping mall. The parking lot was packed. Cars were crawling with anxious drivers looking for that one vacant slot. Mathews, sharp and aggressive as he was known to be, spotted a vacant space ahead and quickly zoomed in. He could see another car trying to reverse into the same slot, but Mathews was determined to beat the other man to it. And he did! Mathews felt jubilant – as we all sometimes do with life’s little victories. The old man driving the car was disappointed. He looked Mathews in the eye and continued his search for another parking slot.
Two days later, Mathews was preparing for one of the biggest moments of his career. He was close to winning a big contract for his company. And all that was left now was the formal handshake meeting with the client’s CEO. As Mathews walked into the client’s office and saw the CEO, he felt a sudden sense of discomfort. Yes, it was the same man from whom he had snatched the parking slot on Sunday. And you can guess what happened thereafter. Alas! If only Mathews had grown up with the HTDO habit!
So whats HTDO?
It has probably happened to you before. As you walk towards the door of an office, or a hotel, the person walking in front holds the door open for you. Remember how good it made you feel – if only for that moment.
Isn’t it surprising that although we all feel good when someone holds the door open for us, we seldom do the same for other? How come?
It’s probably because we are all preoccupied with ourselves and obsessed with getting ahead. Here, then, is a life-changing lesson they don’t teach you in any B school – ‘Hold The Door Open’.
The world can be divided into two types of people. Those who push open a door, walk through and let it slam behind them. That’s the 99% of the population. And there’s the 1% who hold it open to allow the next person to walk through. Learn to do that, and you too could join the select 1% club. HTDO doesn’t merely make other people feel good. It makes you feel good too. HTDO translates into a behaviour of helping and caring.
Winning in life is less about naked ambition and more about helping other people win.
Someone once said, “It’s nice to be important. But it’s more important to be nice”
Make a beginning. Hold The Door Open.😊👍🏼
I loved reading this inspiring forward so much that I simply wanted to share.
If there is any of you who would like to share their stories of holding the door open pls feel free to do so.
On Focus
Focus is being totally present in this now…
Staying true to this present moment calls for attention and focus, inspite of the arising challenges in life & living.
If you can acknowlege life challenges as they come you will accept most pressures are buildup of anxieties about the future state and remembered failures from the past.
So as you play your game in this present moment, you are in your optimum best as there is no pressure actually.
As you evolve know that life is simply working its best to evolve your consciousness in its optimum way.
Your experiences along the way may be a stepping stone for furthering you on your journey in the evolutionary consciousness.

On Oneness
Core is the source, in unity of consciousness.
Life manifests uniquely in all its profoundness.
As every form follows an awakening of its being.
To transcend beyond the self limitations in understanding.
One look at the stars above and the earth below
Is all that is needed to know ones place under the sun.
As times flow, the infinitude of the universe is sensed in life & living.
One reach the acknowledgement that all is in this oneness.

Bliss of the bless
In sensing the tranquillity within
In knowing the sounds of silence
In flowing freely in the moment
Is the song of wonder and awe
Of the beauty in the being …
In the bliss of the bless.

A way
A way appears
Out of nowhere
Somehow when you need it most
Trust the way to deliver
As there is always more meant to be
For hope is here to stay
Look for the good in every way
And you will find it any way.

Art of Speaking
There is more to speaking than what we simply hear.
And the power of positive speech cannot be underestimated.
Speak as you would like to be spoken to
Speak clearly with confidence & certainty
Speak to convey the message than try to control.
Speak using positively affirming words.
Speak politely and avoid sarcasm.
Speak with empathy and avoid criticism.
While speaking to children…
A child hears and understands the tone of your voice well.
Keep it balanced as far as possible
Use it well to convey the messsge without yelling.
And most of all
Speak with words that appreciate than admonish.
It makes all the difference.

Survivor tree
Survivors have a uniqueness
That’s bestowed in the survival
This Hart tree is a Giant Sequoia tree.
In Redwood Mountain Grove California
This tree has survived the ravages of fire.
Carrying the scars in silent grace
By shaping herself this way in time.

Timely intervention
Our habits are in our hands
When we choose to rise and sleep
What, when and how we eat
How much we sit or move every day
What kind of lifestyle we lead
Every one of this is a choice we have
Our body is meant to change in time
But our habits can make all the difference
We can cultivate wellness in our ways
We can choose to empower our mind
We can choose to live life Lovingly
We can cultivate positive thoughts & ways
All is in the timely interventions
In our life and living.

Real Joy!
If ever you feel the need to be uplifted
Simply bring yourself
To look around and within
To consider all the things
That gives you real joy!
There is so much more to living
Even the ordinary day
Can turn extraordinary
If you choose to see it so.

On Need
The strength of the Interconnects….
Runs deeper than we can fathom.
We need one another and ourselves
To complete the circle of life
As we are however we are
To help one another in need
We can take a step to bring ourselves
Closer to the truth of our being
Such is the need of our times
More than ever before.
