This world…
Needs no pity
That feels sorry
Nor sympathy
That feels pain.
For feeling sorry
Or sensing pain
Will not solve
The issues at hand.
What one life truly needs from another…
Is empathy
To understand and relate with one another.
And compassion
That cares to help heal.
Whenever wherever
the dialogue changes
From I feel sorry,
To I will help you
Because I care…
The world will be a better place.
For action speaks louder than words.

We are strings of matter
Asserting ourselves in the giant spindle of time.
A string
Is meant to connect
It is also to be a bridge of bonding
Like a string of pearls
To string is to align with a purpose.
We are divinely connected in the subtler realms
To the infinite strings of matter.
Yet in the physical realm
We hold the strings to many
We pull these strings at times too lightly or forcefully
And what was meant to be for alignment , instead creates imbalances.
The strings we hold or latch onto
The strings that are passed into our hands
And the strings we want to control
All have a deep significance to the way we were are, we are and what our future will be…
Care to acknowledge our stringed existence in the interconnects.
Aspire to untangle the threads yet value the rootedness therein.
Aim to reach beyond the shackles of being
Unlearn to learn
Reach beyond knowing.
Life heals as its aligns and manifests the truth of its own potential.

Try to make at least one person happy every day. If you cannot do a kind deed, speak a kind word. If you cannot speak a kind word, think a kind thought.
Count up, if you can, the treasure of happiness that you would dispense in a week, in a year, in a lifetime!
Lawrence G. Lovasik
Loved the message in the quote…Build a treasure of happiness.
Ever Grateful for a powerful caption that once caught my eye
“Don’t bite more than you can chew….”
Denotes the wisdom of moderation in life and living. To know a cut off point
Is to know where to draw the line between exhaustion and excitement.
Simply taking on more work or responsibility or trying to multitasking beyond your abilities and capacities is self defeating.
So only commit to what you truly can deliver .
Not less not more.
So grateful to have read this many years ago and consistently practice this learning.
Happy to share this piece of advice that is my mindful reminder before taking on more.

We dance to let go, To enjoy this now. And celebrate it and find ourselves again.
In awareness is a flow, that merges in harmony to synch in with this now, in artistry of the moves… this is the truth of what it is, to dance!

“To listen entails a fundamental letting go of self-centeredness. We have to be willing to put down our own thoughts, views, and feelings temporarily to truly listen.”
Oren Jay Sofer
Power of listening
Is in self control
In hearing to understand
The when, what, where, who & how
In curiousity patience and wonder
In caring to empathise
And connect without interrupting.
In knowing to balance the spoken words
By truly caring to hear with all of you…
Relationships heal in the listening.

A flower doesn’t stop being beautiful just because somebody walks by without noticing it, nor does it cease to be fragrant if its scent is taken for granted. The flower just continues to be its glorious self: elegant, graceful, and magnificent.
Our Mother Nature has provided us with these immeasurably valuable teachers that blossom despite their short lifespan, stars that continue to shine even if we fail to stare at them, and trees that don’t take it personally if we never bow down in gratitude for the oxygen they provide.
We also have an incredible and unlimited capacity to love, but the question is: Can we do it like a flower? Without needing to be admired, adored, or even noticed? Can we open our hearts completely to give, forgive, celebrate, and joyfully live our lives without hesitation or need for reciprocity?
It seems like sometimes we go beyond taking things personally and are noticeably deflated when unappreciated. In fact, devastated, we wilt in sorrow and then attempt to guard ourselves by withholding, using all sorts of protections and defenses. We get hurt (even angry) if our boss fails to recognize an astonishing feat, if a lover pulls their hand away, or when a friend forgets our birthday. Can you imagine a flower copping an attitude for not being praised, or the moon dimming its glow because we’re too self-absorbed to notice it more often?
Make an effort to shine NO MATTER WHAT, to love unconditionally, and to be a kind and gentle soul (even when nobody is watching).
And, if you’re so inclined, hug the next tree you see and say, “Thank you!”
~ Excerpt from Buddhist Boot Camp by Timber Hawkeye
Creativity thrves in an open minded approach with an ability to trust and try.
To take a chance is to take a step into the unexplored unknown dimensions of potential possibilities.
The creative spirit is replenished in such an atmosphere.The forays into the unknown can be a pure game of chance.
A dare unto beyond that may or may not pay rich dividends. But in those trials and tribulations a creative soul is nurtured. And new paths are created to journey on!

Finding the wonderful in every day
Is a lovely idea
But it means you have to remember to look for it
In the daily moments
Within you, in people & things around you
And consistently so…
No matter what who when where and why
And you will be sure to find it.
Lovely idea that makes life wonderful in itself.

Everything starts from a decisive moment…
Decision is often the difference between greatness and mediocrity. In every man’s life there comes a time when he must search for a cause, a work, an ideal to which he can give himself. Whether he says ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ to the challenge will determine his future.”
Wilferd Peterson
A great motivational quote.
It opens up a few relevant questions on decisions and decision making.
How decisive are you about your life?
Do you take your decisions seriously?
Or do often you let/ want others take decisions for you.
Do you take time to make decisions?
Do you stand for your decisions and do your decisions stand the test of time?
There are different decision making styles based on how a problem is perceived.
A good decision begins with begins with identification and envisioning of the goal ,
Secondly it is important to collect all information so that you can weigh options and alternatives.
Next it is paramount to consider the consequences of the decision before taking the decision.
Once a decision is taken is necessary to be able to evaluate the decisions in time.
Worth thinking of how much a good decision in a moment has power of change life.

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.

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.
