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 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!

Essence of our soul

Who am I

What is my digital presence signifying to you?

Am sure the thought will cross everyone of our minds.

While as a writer  there is much that is said by me , there is still parts of me none may know….

Each of our digital presence  speaks much about us in the age of technology we are leaving realms if data insights in every interaction post and comment. Through it all we are all responsible for the personna we share .

But if algorithms  have their way they may predict and analyze much more than we can handle and that would a be a challenge  to our identities.

What are your thoughts on this ?

Chase not the bird

Attachment  is the root cause of suffering.

If love is a bird

And the bird has chosen to fly

Chase not the bird

For the bird has already flown

When you encounter a love

That chooses to fly

Chase not that love

For it has left your presence 

Detach yourself from it

And let it fly

And thank the bird

For the change that it brought…

It was meant for you

To clear space in and around you

To grow and evolve

And transform yourself.

For the better.

Affirm the good

On Managing Behaviour

Whether as a parent, a partner, a teacher, a manager or leader, we all come across challenges in behavior.

Here are few pointers…

Being  critical is easier

Being an example is what matters

To pave the path of positive change

Affirm the good with consistency

Appreciate a deed well done

Behavior transforms in time.

Lightness of being

Lightness of being

Sense the lightness of life

And you begin feeling lighter

And lighter  in every now…

Enough to flap your wings

And express yourself

From where you are…

Then & Now

Then and now

Then I had manicured hands

Fingers always maintained

With perfectly painted nails 💅

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.

Truths & facades

There is much going on behind a smile or a tear

As much as there is behind an act of aggression or care.

Truths that lie just over the bend

Masked in a show of strength

A veil may cover the apparent

But the body never lies.

It leaves imprints of expression

In every moment of now .

Truths that cannot be shared

Truths that needs to be dared

The body wisdom takes over

To make it through

To the truths over the facades.

Learnings

Learning never ends

It grows new pathways

Awaiting your awareness

Discover the joy of learning

You will find your purpose.

The mirror speaks

Has the fire died in me?

I ask, looking at the mirror

The mirror answered

Look again dear,

Perhaps you have missed

The simmering coal in your gaze

Like molten magma…

Perhaps tears you cried

haven’t dried as yet

Misting the view.

Am just a mirror dear

A reflection at best

But even a  mirror cannot miss

The smoldering eyes of passion

The demeanor that speaks

Of resilience no matter

The ravages of time.

Yet the warrior in you  burning bright.

The scars etched on your face

Are a testament of times

Of standing tall in adversity

As the storms passed by.

You ask, “Is the fire in you gone “

I say, I see them in all of you …

In your face and stance.

In all of your body, spirit and soul.

Speaking with all of you.

The fight is not over

As the day is not done.

I saw this line ‘the fire has died ‘ and I was inspired  to write this poem.

Your thoughts are welcome .

Paradox of Emotions

Every moment is a cornucopia of sensing Fleeting thoughts in the making Feelings and emotions reveal themselves. Between action and inaction And in the stillness in between Like the ebb and flow on the tides While at times amplifying & complicating situations By tilting the tuning of the body and mind. Sometimes overpowering almost self […]

Acknowledge

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?

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

Live life lovingly💙
