So many masters with ideas…
Many motivating words around
On how to ace productivity
On how to get things done
And manage the chaos that reigns
When push comes to shove
Every thing takes a backseat
You simply need to steer
Racing against time for dear life
In the toughest times
Good habits come to rescue
Like discipline and dedication
Helps complete tasks at hand.
How have your habits helped rescue you ?

Then and now
Then I had manicured hands
Fingers always maintained
With perfectly painted nails đź’…
Now I like them as they are
Functional and neatly cut.
Then I wore high heels
To make me feel more stylish
Now I have a style I call my own
High heels I no longer need or buy.
Then I was yet to experience life
Too sensitive to a fault…
Now I have come of my own
Upholding my health over stressors
Emboldened enough to stand by me.
And today, another solar cycle older
Wiser or not is left for you to say,
But this I know from living
Half way and more in life.
No matter the then & now
What is, is what matters.
In you, is what you need.
Life is what you make of it.
Every now is precious enough to fill it with gratitude.

As humans we are always exploring and discovering possibilities. Sometimes we understand much in no time, and take the right steps, and at other times we mis the bus.
Acknowledge the wins & the misses.
Every step missed is brimming with a lesson.
If we choose to pay attention every failure teaches us something.
On where we want to be,
On how far we are, from where we want to go.
Question is are we ready to acknowledge failure as a part of the learning process?
Every success can be attributed to the many experiences that may have had many lessons and the effort taken to succeed.
And if there is propensity and determination to take the effort, there are many pathways that lead us beyond failure.
I like this saying by Mary Ash, I came across recently which presents a fresh perspective on failure.
‘For every failure, there’s an alternative course of action. You just have to find it. When you come to a roadblock, take a detour.’
Acknowledge where and how you are.
You will find your own path.

So you are angry?
Now what?
Do you think it is helping you ?
For anger never helps
It only hurts .
Here are six things you can do for balancing your emotions and feeling better.
1.Become Aware that you are reacting than responding in your anger is the first step
2.Counting backwards from 20 to 1.
3. Removing yourself from the place you are feeling angry even for a short while by going for a short walk helps settle your emotions.
4. Switch words is a technique to use feeling oriented words to create powerful change of emotions with imagery to manage anger.
For example a positive word like Happy can evoke different feelings.
Or words like ‘take it easy ‘can evoke a sense of ease.
5. Better still is taking to chanting mantras, or hearing your favorite upbeat music , or even Journaling.
6. If nothing else imagining ocean tides in a flow and breathing deeply, in and out even for a few minutes eases the tense body & mind.
Remember to acknowledge your emotions as there is more harm in suppression. As you find healthy pathways to manage your anger, you bring wellbeing into your life

If ever you are in a position where you are hurt and helpless and want to help yourself out of this situation check on your own behavior
Are you speaking and sharing more than you should?
Are you over explaining and try to match up to anothers expectations and not valuing your own strengths?
Are you defending yourself when the other person refuses to understand anothers perspective?
Are you too sensitive and taking things personally when actually the source of the issues or the problem is not you at all?
Often it is self awareness that is the first step towards bettering your life.
A self check to see your reactions is definitely a way to improving how you handle and manage difficult people in life.
Tbe way to make life favorable to you , is in living as if all is rigged in your favor.

As life can be truly challenging
We all have worried about it
Yet worries don’t change things
Acting on the issues does.
So instead of worrying today
Whenever you begin to worry
Can you thank your worry
For trying to be helpful ?
And remember to make it a habit.
If you realise you are worrying
Work on worry everytime
Thank it again & again.
It is simple to do yet impactful.
Sometimes as perspectives shift
Solutions, find space to emerge.
Things happen, and just when it all feels dark, there is a crack…
Where light enters in hope!
There is always a reason why, nothing is accidental. The cracks  are where light shines through , like the crack of dawn.And the sooner in time, in the tiniest cracks, whenever the ego shatters to transform itself in humility, all resets in transcendence to begin again, renewed in purpose.Â
Such is the nature of life & living.
All is well in hope.

To evolve into a better version of the self…
You incrementally make the moves towards it.
If you sense frustration and angst choose to make sense of where you are in this now…
Are you angry at something beyond your control?
When you realise you cannot change another then be wise to improve yourself.
Be assertive and you will sense confidence.
Choose to be self aware and have the courage to dare to speak for yourself.
You are your best friend, you don’t need anothers validation.
Own your truths. Both strengths and weaknesses. And work on improving your self in conscious ways, step by step .
It all starts with you taking the step.
Would you agree?

Here’s a thoughtworthy share
Air Commodore Vishal was a Jet Pilot. In a combat mission his fighter plane was destroyed by a missile. He however ejected himself and parachuted safely. He won acclaims and appreciations from many.
After five years one day he was sitting with his wife in a restaurant. A man from another table came to him and said “You’re Captain Vishal ! You flew jet fighters. You were shot down!”
“How in the world did you know that?” asked Vishal.
“I packed your parachute,” the man smiled and replied.
Vishal gasped in surprise and gratitude and thought if parachute hadn’t worked, I wouldn’t be here today.
Vishal couldn’t sleep that night, thinking about that man. He wondered how many times I might have seen him and not even said ‘Good morning, how are you?’ or anything because, he was a fighter pilot and that person was just a safety worker”
So friends, who is packing your parachute?
Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it through the day.
We need many kinds of parachutes– we need the physical parachute, the mental parachute, the emotional parachute, and the spiritual parachute.
We call on all these supports before reaching safety.
Sometimes in the daily challenges that life gives us, we miss what is really important.
We may fail to say hello, please, or thank you, congratulate someone on something wonderful that has happened to them, give a compliment, or just do something nice for no reason.
As you go through this week, this month, this year, recognize the people who pack your parachute.
Happy New Year

On Intentions and Actions
Whenever we want or intend for something we must also be ready to do something about it.
Here are few ‘Wants ‘and Intentions and what one can to do about it.
If you want happiness try making another happier.
True joy comes to you when you serve another.
Serve yourself some laughter if you want your spirit to feel free.
Fill your day with Gratitude whenever you are looking for Abundance.
And if you want friendship to manifest in life why not start by being your own best friend.
If you are searching for love why not begin to love your self ♥️
Also, choose to take a walk in nature if you are intending for some more insightful perspectives .
I for one can vouch for the creative ideas and reflections that a simple walk brings to me.
Have a beautiful blessed
New year 2025
Live life lovingly!

Wisdom continues to evolve
As change is the only constant
Knowing is never enough
Discerning knowledge with application makes all the difference.
Age of Aquarius
Some see it as the Age of the Aquarius, a dawn of enlightenment, but it is also a sign of changing times when there is greater access to knowledge and increased interest in holistic & spiritual practices and greater receptivity & awareness of values of empathy compassion and collaboration and therein interconnections.
Speaking of technology its transformations, while we are better informed, the human aspect of intuitive and ethical considerations play a significant role in understanding and application of this new age wisdom.
Now, this rise of a new age of wisdom could also mean more inclusive and divergent thinking in a more conscious and enlightened world.
The question then is, what resonates within and what we choose to do with it.

Where there are no rules that bound
Where the music leads and you follow
Where there is no end and no beginning
Where the river of time
Meets you as you want to
Where heart fields are open
To receive the infinite truths
You know..
All is in the flow as you sense you are the flow.
Savvy
Every move has a reaction
In the cause and effect world
Forms shifting shapes
Colours changing hues
Where even the blink of an eye
A touch of the breeze
Or even a silent intention
Can set off a symphony in response
For all is aligned in connection.
Twisted or helical structure
In a Self arranging universe
Reflecting retracting
Rotating revolving
Tuning itself in time
Blending in the balancing
Altered by sensitivity in subtlety
Interplay of Intelligence
Telling phenomenonal stories
Holding immense possibilities
In its infinite potential
Awaiting mindful application
In the journey of awakenings .
All is a dance of matter.

I came across these lines this morning…
We either make ourselves miserable ,
or we make ourselves strong.
The amount of work is the same
— Carlos Castaneda —
Questions for the self
What are your thoughts like?
What is the work you do making you feel?
What is the energy you sense ?
Are you feeling strengthened by it?
Your answers will reveal much to you.
