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 open to receive

Be open to receive.

Sharing a Tamil story translation by my mother Anjana.

I found this piece written by her today morning and shared as I felt many times we are ourselves in the way of our blessings. There is so much abundance, we are yet not ready to hear, take, care to see, that we miss partaking the joy of having them, often because our own ignorance, ego or lack of awareness comes in the way. All the abundance mean nothing if we are not ready to receive it.

Let’s be open ready to receive…

It was raining heavily. Grand mother was sitting in the verandah and her little granddaughter was playing nearby… So the grandmother told her granddaughter so much water is going waste,so keep a big vessel to fill clean water.

The girl who was playing refused to listen. So the grandmother noticed it and said sternly, Is just keeping the big vessel in the rain a big job? Go and keep it in the open. Grandma ordered. The girl went with half mind.

After some time when it stopped raining, Grandma got up to happily bring the vessel full of water.
She was shocked to see ,not a drop of water was collected.
The girl has kept the vessel upside down , just as it was kept inside!

Of course there was plenty of rain, but the vessel was not ready to collect a single drop.

Same like the Universe is filled with Divine blessings. But our hearts are not open to receive it. If we are ready with open heart the Cosmic Abundance will be in harmony with us.

Tamil Story translation by my mother Anjana.

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!

A quick question.

Just a quick question…

How many of you writers, have felt people equating your creative writing with your life?

As a writer I do know that creativity comes up in the most unexpected moments. It may have or not at all have anything to your own experiences. Much of the creative process can happen in attention to details as a keen observer, in witness mode , in associations of thoughts and feelings and in sensing emotions in empathy, concern or care, that may have or not have any personal connotations.

Writing is the freedom of expression in flights of imagination, its a beautiful art and that is free for interpretation once it has been published. For the writer has chosen to let it go…

How it came to be, is a mystery sometimes to the Author too😉

A leap of faith

A leap of faith
Is what makes life a life.
Take the chances
That you choose to let go.
Be intentional
So that life doesn’t slip away
Take the chance
May be they turn out
The best decision of your life.

They say opportunity does not knock twice.. So take a leap of faith.

So when you hear the calling of your heart & soul…

Trust you can and you can!

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.

Seeing light

Your yesterday may have seemed very tough
Your entire body may have taken a toll
Your head and heart may have felt heavy
Your eyes may have welled up in tears
Your emotions choking you
Your breathing may have been constricted
Your muscles may have felt tight. Your steps laboured and dragging
Perhaps a sense of resignment may have reigned all through the day…


Yes it may have been more than you could handle
But handle you did
For you are alive and kicking.
Today your heart is lighter
And you are breathing easy
With a song on your lips
And a dance in your steps
Your body willing
And in enthusiastic spirit Looking forward to another day
To put in your very best
And make it another great day!

The question is then, what is  happening in you, one moment to another
And what are you doing to alter the effects of the moment.
And what actually alters everything.
Simply put, your own thoughts
And the power of your choice
Choosing one thought over the other.

Trust life to show many colours every day but know you have the choice in how you choose see and perceive it.

Every day can be good or bad day…
But it’s in the way you chose see it… That changes the day!

Habitually Angry?

When was the last time you got really angry?

Just a while ago, yesterday, few days ago, a week a few months or can’t remember the last time you were really angry?

There are many causes of anger and often, the root is in irritation, frustration neglect or abuse or even unfairness.

Often anger comes and goes…

But when you are unable
To let go of habitual anger
It’s a path of distress
That leads to self destruction
Anger poisons the  mind & body
Leading to rage when out of control.
Yet, its part of being human.

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
Buddha

When anger has an emotional attachment and it gets difficult to let go easily. Mindfulness then is the path to emotional freedom.

Seneca the ancient Roman philosopher had a very relevant remedy for anger… He said, the greatest remedy for anger is delay.

How you choose to channel your thoughts
And effectively manage anger
Is what makes all the difference.


How do you express anger?
Are you assertive or aggressive?
This is what matters more
More importantly when angry
Can you say what’s on your mind
Can you even speak in a clear way?
Or are you emotions clouding you?

Perhaps you are suppressing anger
Then chances are it may surge
And unexpectedly so.
So instead, can you channelize your anger?
For then you control your anger
Before it controls you.
