We brave the chances
We take the risks
We endure the worst
For we know the world is round
All is meant to flow
And hence there is heartfelt hope
In the most difficult moments
Simply know hope is here to stay

Messenger of Peace
Wherever you are
Be a messenger of peace
Sense the hope that peace brings
In its wake, life regenerates.

Learning to live
Are you feeling you are trying to live
Between the raindrops?
Or maybe you feel
You are surviving between the rapids
For life is not always a bed of blooms.
Is there a trick to the whole process?
To thrive from between to the beyond
To live through the unfolding journey.
Waltzing through without warping up
Smiling throught it all
Singing the song of hope than remorse
Question yourself
Is it just a matter of priorities
What truly matters after all?
What makes for a life
That’s worth its while?
All one needs to do is experience the journey
Because the destination takes care of itself!

Breathing free
A beautiful share
“She sat at the back and they said she was shy,
She led from the front and they hated her pride,
They asked her advice and then questioned her guidance,
They branded her loud, then were shocked by her silence,
When she shared no ambition they said it was sad,
So she told them her dreams and they said she was mad,
They told her they’d listen, then covered their ears,
And gave her a hug while they laughed at her fears,
And she listened to all of it thinking she should,
Be the girl they told her to be best as she could,
But one day she asked what was best for herself,
Instead of trying to please everyone else,
So she walked to the forest and stood with the trees,
She heard the wind whisper and dance with the leaves,
She spoke to the willow, the elm and the pine,
And she told them what she’d been told time after time,
She told them she felt she was never enough,
She was either too little or far far too much,
Too loud or too quiet, too fierce or too weak,
Too wise or too foolish, too bold or too meek,
Then she found a small clearing surrounded by firs,
And she stopped…and she heard what the trees said to her,
And she sat there for hours not wanting to leave,
For the forest said nothing, it just let her breathe”

On Gentleness of Being
Life is precious
And so are relationships
Remember, gentle is the way
When you walk with another
There is much you do not know
You never know the hidden truths
For some wounds are deep and invisible.
So walk gently, care sincerely live lovingly

IN THIS NOW
There is always a reason
We know not yet
Trust life to deliver
Know life is a puzzle
Every piece fits perfectly eventually
Keep your faith alive
And celebrate the life you have
In this now

Heartprints of Serendipity
How intuitive are you?
Do u sense the subtlety
In nature and its mystical ways
Of sending signs and symbols your way?
For you to understand perspectives
Beyond assumptions & notions
To create an insightful vision
Of the unfolding realms
Of the possibilities in the potential.
There is always a reason
Why you are gifted with intuitive intellect.
Consider ways to use it for goodwill
Think larger, widen your perspectives
For the world at large
Can you use this subtlety of knowing
And leave heartprints of Serendipity?

Path of Equanimity
Peace begins in our hearts
In our actions in awareness
Peace spreads its wings
Unfolding its magic
Interspersing the seeds of peace
In the hearts of humans
When we embrace ourselves
With all our conflicts and chaos
With our inexplicable challenges
We embrace the peace
Already deeply embedded within
In between and betwixt
The rest and movement
Peace regenerates itself
In the middle path
Peace finds its balance.
In the path of Equanimity

Discount not your self doubt
Many a times
We find doubts
Are getting in the way
Of our reaching for success
We feel stressed & strained
By uncertainty & doubts
We fear our own strengths
We think we will cave in
Discount not your self doubt
For it helps you grow
It makes you open up to new learnings
It encourages you to seek insights
It keeps you from complacency.
Your self doubt is an internal switch
That ignites intuitively from within
To rebalance your running mind.
It helps you revise your strategies
When ego threatens, to trip you over
Your self doubt levels the playing field
It implores you to listen more
Learn more and share more.
Your self doubt can be your ally
In moments which need humility
In moments needing a rethinking
Care to give yourself the benefit of doubt.

Real joy!
This is a must read true incident share…
“I want to remember your face so that when I meet you in heaven, I will be able to recognise you and thank you once again.”
When Nigerian billionaire Femi Otedola in a telephone interview, was asked by the radio presenter, “Sir what can you remember made you a happiest man in life?”
Femi said:
“I have gone through four stages of happiness in life and finally I understood the meaning of true happiness.”
The first stage was to accumulate wealth and means. But at this stage I did not get the happiness I wanted.
Then came the second stage of collecting valuables and items. But I realised that the effect of this thing is also temporary and the lustre of valuable things does not last long.
Then came the third stage of getting big projects. That was when I was holding 95% of diesel supply in Nigeria and Africa. I was also the largest vessel owner in Africa and Asia. But even here I did not get the happiness I had imagined.
The fourth stage was the time a friend of mine asked me to buy wheelchair for some disabled children. Just about 200 kids.
At the friend’s request, I immediately bought the wheelchairs.
But the friend insisted that I go with him and hand over the wheelchairs to the children. I got ready and went with him.
There I gave these wheel chairs to these children with my own hands. I saw the strange glow of happiness on the faces of these children. I saw them all sitting on the wheelchairs, moving around and having fun.
It was as if they had arrived at a picnic spot where they are sharing a jackpot winning.
I felt REAL joy inside me. When I decided to leave one of the kids grabbed my legs. I tried to free my legs gently but the child stared at my face and held my legs tightly.
I bent down and asked the child: Do you need something else?
The answer this child gave me not only made me happy but also changed my attitude to life completely. This child said:
“I want to remember your face so that when I meet you in heaven, I will be able to recognise you and thank you once again.”
What would you be remembered for after you leave that office or place?
Will anyone desire to see your face again where it all matters?
How about trying to touch lives and make a positive difference in our own individual ways?.

On Beliefs
On beliefs
Irony of cognition
As long as our beliefs are taking us through
We are comfortable
But if our beliefs, blur our vision
We are confounded
We become guarded
And want to protect our opinions
Even if they are erring
In fact we are most hostile
When we are aware deep within
How wrong we actually are !
Rather than allowing ourselves to evolve
We step in our own way of growth
Becoming mental contortionists
Twisting and turning
With the assumptions & notions of truth
Until we find an angle that upholds
Our current views.
Our beliefs can be our strength as much as our weaknesses. In allowing ourselves to accept something new or different to what we are used to or expect, we begin to open up our minds and hearts.
Think about your own beliefs, are there moments where you were challenged by your own beliefs,
Were there times when you feel that some of your own beliefs need a thinkover?
Often we assume we are totally in the know and believe it to be so like a frog in the well.
Yet the truth shows up differently from these illusions we live in, and then we realize how far away from the truth we actually are!
There is always more…
Possibilities in the infinity
So much more to learn
So much more to discover
So much more to explore
So much more to know…

Preciousness of Peace
Peace is a state of being
More than just a state of mind
Peace needs consistent practice
You have to nurture your heart
Towards a state of peaceful being
The mind wanders in a million ways
The heart flutters at a moment’s notice
Such is the way of life and living
So let your dancing heart & mind
Find their way towards coexistence
Acknowledging each of their diverse states.
Let their potential converge to strengthen
Let the sense of peace be understood well
Until peace becomes of a way of life.
Care to protect your peace.

Connections
As you move forward
In expansiveness & inclusiveness
In the spirit of collaboration
Than mere competition
Gradually you begin to sense the strength
In the circle of conscious connections.
