Wisdom of walking on…

To me walking has been synonymous with freedom, and I believe that it is one of the best ways to balance your mind and body every day. I have been enjoying this healthy activity pretty consistently.

Walking is something people take for granted but with the right approach the act of walking can be a friendly support for a lifetime.

But this is about walking and walking on from pride of success so that you create space for more.

There is great wisdom in such a practice.

There is always something

That you would have done

That which you have accomplished

Your success that you are proud of!

However,

What you did yesterday

Cannot be taken for granted

For it is back in time

What ever your achievements

Your accomplishments are yours to know

Yet life is not lived backwards

You can take your learnings

From what is done and apply to this now

For the future is another day

Dwell not in time gone by

Past glory recedes in time

No matter the memory into a distant dot.

Choose to be in this present

For then the hits and misses

Become small matters in the sun

Then no challenge is unsurmountable

For then success and failures

Become stepping stones to learn from

Walk on in this now…

On stress & destressing

It’s not the stress
That is dangerous
But the what we do not do
About the stress that is.

And if we do try to do something the question then is…
Do we really know what we do
Is the right way to destress?

When we suppress
What is stressing us
We are creating pressure
Within us that will burst out in time

When we get angry
Lose out temper
Not only we lose dignity
But we lose our own health

So whether you are a caregiver
Or having chronic ailments
Whether you are feeling burnout
Or finding no way out.


Suppression creates disease
And anger creates heart problems
So between suppression and outbursts
Is a fine edge of balance

To not tilt to the extreme
But to create a pathway to unblock
To vent out without flare ups
To open the door without break it up

It’s all about channeling the flow…

Whether you are battling a crisis
Or feeling lonely on the inside
Whether you are on the edge of rage
Or you feel you have no clue in life…

Remember
There are  as many channels as there are challenges
Consider these as a sample of options.

Conversation and dialogues
Socialisation and friendships
Any activity, Art and creativity
Or passion in perseverance.
Workshops and events
Programs, Therapies galore
Hobbies interests, support groups
Community service or mentorship.  Education & self learning.
Meditation and mindfulness
Alternative Healing modalities.

Would you like to add more…

Stay Hopeful

When the odds stack high, .
When our visions are not far enough,
When the road ahead seems blocked,
When we are at our wits’ end
When we are at cross with destiny
It shakes hand with us.
As it has planned ahead
A reciprocal arrangement
That opens a new path,
A new vision appears.
Nothing ends,
A new beginning starts.
Hope is here to stay.

A poem by my mother Anjana

Lens of compassion

When you look at other people through a lens of compassion and understanding rather than judgment and jealousy, you are better able to see them for what they are—human beings.” ~ Unknown

The way we see the world
Changes our experiences
Lesser expectations
Greater contentment
Lesser assumptions & doubt
Greater trustfulness
Lesser hopelessness
Greater possibility
Lesser the complexity
Greater the clarity.

On determination

To the truly determined

Opportunity unfolds

In the sustained effort.

To learn anything new

Needs dedicated determination

To understand beyond exploring.

In the will and perseverance

Arrives the point of knowing

And learning continues…

For the truly determined

Nothing can stop the learning.

Awakening the self

When you arrive at being comfortable
At ease no matter the seeking and the knowing
At peace no matter the circumstances
In equanimity in the wisdom of the interconnects
You are awakening yourself…
To the profoundness of you.
In the subtlety of consciousness
Resides the truth of it all.

Strength of a circle

There is great power in a circle that is inclusive and expansive.

Speaking of organizations a clear organisational structure helps to understand the relations of positions in an organisation with respect to position and authority. There are many ways that organisations are structured and each have their own pros and cons. Traditional flat structure to pyramid, circular to modern network structures etc. The value of taking the right structural approach in building organisations cannot be undermined.

The strength of circles:

The circle appears hierarchical with its power core and expansive with concentric spread of power yet its very strength is in its form that helps align values in teams.

For transformative change to align with the core values, trust and transparency is paramount to foster and this needs an inclusive and expansive approach inside out in a circular manner that is consistent to sustain. The organisation needs to support a circular structure with open door policies on communication, and work on learning and development to create accessible training programmes across the spectrum.

The circular structure has a clear psychological advantage in the form itself as leaders are not positioned at the top, making it easier for the vision accessible for one and all, thus increasing collaboration as it considers  different departments as part of the same whole.

There are infinite  possibilities of growth, in a circle of team, increasing a sense of belonging, mutual respect, and engagement of human potential, in the realisation that no one is as strong as all of us.

What makes you more you?

In this mixed bag of life’s moments

Sometimes life offers moments when you are pleasantly surprised.

It brings out the possibilities in you.

Creating joy, trust & faith.

Where you look forward to greet the next moment with hope

And other times there are raging storms

Where you are numbed down beyond compare

Where you are unsure of your next move

Trust time to free your mind of doubts

For there is always a reason why

Take every learning as a lesson for life

And know you will learn to weather the storm

Every storm, leaves you stronger than before.

For it leaves a more resilient you…

More capable, more confident more conscious

For you begin to acknowledge your own potential.

As you dare to meet the moments, you begin to meet the potential in you

Every moment makes you more you.

Life experiences can move us as it makes us. Every one has some moments that makes us smile and some that makes us stop and rethink… And in time we realise it was all necessary to make us realise our self.

Do you agree?

Can you remember one moment that made you smile from the heart?

Can you also think of moments, that made you question to understand life?

Did you meet your own strengths along the way?

Do you feel you have evolved along the way?

Spirit Ablaze…

Sky above, earth below, and fire within,
As I stand here,
Under the canopy of twinkling stars in the sky,
Sensing the nourishing earth under my feet,
And the fire ablaze, in the spirit of my soul.

The fire within, I nurture ,
As passion that fuels, my soul
A purpose that ignites, and a will to succeed,
A heart that beats, a dream to be freed.

Watching the sky above, clouds floating by,
Like a bird soaring I choose to fly,
And I wonder of infinite possibilities,
Until the setting sun, draws the moon at night.

I feel the fertile ground
Sense the abundance of nature.
A garden of life.
In every breathing life, is a universe within,
Bountiful beauty, to inspire dreams.

Sky above, earth below and fire within,
A journey of life, with a prayer in hope
To meet the mornings, awaiting the purpose of life.
With the spirit ablaze in my beating heart.

Power of a Seed

The seed looked up

At the mighty tree in awe

Wondering how it will grow to thrive

And how it will survive in time.

The tree rustled its leaves

In the gentle breeze

Sharing the tender touch

Of the nurturing wind

As if to remind the little seed…

Every mighty tree around

Was once a tiny seed

Blowing in the very same wind

That grew through the seasons

Weathering life’s storms

Learning how to bend and not break

So that it could grow one day

To its fullest potential

Testimony to the power of a planted seed.

Every tree is rooted with a message

Never underestimate the power within

Keep the faith and trust yourself!

Meet life.

Meet life in the eye
See the light it shows

Meet life in this now
Understand there is always a reason why

And then trust enough
To meet it with enthusiasm to live
So you can meet the miracles in this now.

Be to Become

Be all that you can

To become all that you want

Becoming what you want to be

Is a journey in time

Of highs and lows

To become is to envision

To intend consistently

The very same vision day in and out

To persevere time and time again

Without losing sight of your intent

To be passionate about what you are

To have patience in waiting

As you inch closer and closer

To become what you want to be.

And trust, what you are meant to be

Will always find a way!

On Time

You are enough for you
Remember your uniqueness
Takes its own time to show up
All happens at the right time

For time knows you.
Make time your friend
Meet it with all of you
Make friends with time.

Shine on

Shine your light

The light of you

That comes through you

Your voice your truth

Your speech your words

Your work your authenticity

Your moves your way

Step into your light

Step into your place

Fill it with all of you

For none can fill this space

There is no other like you

For you are unique.

In your own way

Shine on.
