Keep the Spring in your heart
Then no Winters are too harsh
Or Summers too hot to handle
As Seasons change around you
You sense it all from the hope of your heart.
And hope springs forth eternally…

I see…
I see…
A borderless world
Overflowing abundance
In the kindness of being.
Beyond assumptions
Notions & judgments
In fear and confusion
Over man made division.
The beauty of creation
Survives the human frailties.
The world without borders
Is one of awe and intrigue
Of all pervading consciousness.
Of manifestations beyond compare
Of artistry beyond words
All strewn for us to sense
In the tapestry of life.

Art of Speaking
There is more to speaking than what we simply hear.
And the power of positive speech cannot be underestimated.
Speak as you would like to be spoken to
Speak clearly with confidence & certainty
Speak to convey the message than try to control.
Speak using positively affirming words.
Speak politely and avoid sarcasm.
Speak with empathy and avoid criticism.
While speaking to children…
A child hears and understands the tone of your voice well.
Keep it balanced as far as possible
Use it well to convey the messsge without yelling.
And most of all
Speak with words that appreciate than admonish.
It makes all the difference.

Timely intervention
Our habits are in our hands
When we choose to rise and sleep
What, when and how we eat
How much we sit or move every day
What kind of lifestyle we lead
Every one of this is a choice we have
Our body is meant to change in time
But our habits can make all the difference
We can cultivate wellness in our ways
We can choose to empower our mind
We can choose to live life Lovingly
We can cultivate positive thoughts & ways
All is in the timely interventions
In our life and living.

Real Joy!
If ever you feel the need to be uplifted
Simply bring yourself
To look around and within
To consider all the things
That gives you real joy!
There is so much more to living
Even the ordinary day
Can turn extraordinary
If you choose to see it so.

On Need
The strength of the Interconnects….
Runs deeper than we can fathom.
We need one another and ourselves
To complete the circle of life
As we are however we are
To help one another in need
We can take a step to bring ourselves
Closer to the truth of our being
Such is the need of our times
More than ever before.

On Expectations
Our expectations are our internal picture of what we anticipate will happen in future. When our expectations are met we are happy but when not, they set us up for disappointments.
Setting the expectations and giving clarity can be effective in a professional environment. Yet when we do not communicate it or when we set unrealistic expectations it can lead to anxiety frustration & loss of trust.
A few traits to develop that help in handling our expectations better.
Communication : Acing our internal and external communication establishes an understanding of the expectations.
Adaptability : An art of change management. In being adaptable to a new and different reality we learn to manage our expectations.
Kindness & compassion : Both help us hone our attitudes. The way we feel and emote during a challenging moment helps us manage and alter the situation.
Patience : A virtue that helps us to not be too exacting on ourselves and others.
Equanimity : Being non judgmental helps in being less edgy and more balanced in our expectations.
After all…
Less you expect
Less you worry
Less you stress
More is the faith
More the love
More life

On being you!
Being you is simpler
Than being anyone else
It’s so much wiser to be you.
Be all that you can be
You are an unique expression
Of life asserting itself
Let your souls purpose
Manifest through you
Allow yourself to be
Your most authentic self
Enjoy being you!

Subtlety Of Consciousness
All matter is energy
And we are unique speckles of vibrations.
All resonating in the universality of life and living.
Trust you matter, more than you know
Believe you can and are making a difference
As you connect deeply in the universal flow
Tune in to reflect the truth of your being.
Every word every deed
Every step every move
Impacts the larger whole
Just as much as the world around you.
So start with who and what is around you
Sense your intuitive self talking to you
Telling much in all its subtlety.
Trust it, for it is abound
With the strength of the subtle energies.
Resonate joy, abundance, balance
Resonate love ,harmony and peace
For you have the power to transform your world

On Acceptance
In Acceptance, there are many perspectives in the understanding.
Acceptance as I see it, is not giving up or being in the same place.
To me a practice of self acceptance is an ability to respect the now and in turn acknowledge the transient nature of everything.
To accept then is to be able to have a feel or a vision of the situation as it is experienced in the now.
Acceptance is often seen as being defenseless.
Yet to envision that acceptance comes from a place of strength, is to be able to understand that we are not one entity but made of many parts that matter to the whole.
So the stance of acceptance is about flow & movements in the stillness, in hope to evolve in time along with the changes.

The Paradox of Idea Generation
While working with teams in collaboration Our assumptions and notions often lead us.
Our expressions are guarded and stunted in Our doubts kicks in a resistance to be free.
The attitudes that we carry around ideas
Often block us from generating fresh ideas
We believe our idea must be the best idea.
We believe we cannot say what we think.
We fear the criticism of what we openly say
We hold back thinking sharing is not wise.
Or that someone will steal our ideas.
Or that we will not get credit for it.
Or perhaps the need for perfection kicks in
All are the real blocks in creative ideations
Without faith and confidence in ourselves
We cannot express & ideate in groups
Yet nothing is achieved in silos
Growth is a consequence of the sharing.
Creative possibilities are enhanced
In a more exploratory space of learning Adopting a more collaborative approach.
As we begin to share, we learn some more.
Great ideas are born from creative collaboration.
Have you tried to collaborate creatively with a team? Do share your experiences.

Infinite Abundance
In the vividness of imagination
At times there is a turbulence of thoughts.
Of emotions entwined in the sensing.
Moving beyond, patterns forming…
Inspiration & ingenuity births itself
In the very uniqueness of individuality
Yet the source of creativity is infinity
Such is the divine artistry of creation

The Grass Is…
The donkey told the tiger: The grass is blue.
The tiger replied: No, the grass is green.
The discussion became heated, and the two decided to submit the issue to arbitration, and to do so they approached the lion.
Before reaching the clearing in the forest where the lion was sitting on his throne, the donkey started screaming: ′′Your Highness, isn’t it true that the grass is blue?”
The lion replied: “True, the grass is blue”.
The donkey rushed forward and continued: ′′The tiger disagrees with me and contradicts me and annoys me. Please punish him”.
The king then declared: ′′The tiger will be punished with 5 years of silence”.
The donkey jumped with joy and went on his way, content and repeating: ′′The grass is blue”..
The tiger accepted his punishment, but he asked the lion: ′′Your Majesty, why have you punished me, after all, the grass is green?”
The lion replied: ′′In fact, the grass is green”.
The tiger asked: ′′So why do you punish me?”
The lion replied:
That has nothing to do with the question of whether the grass is blue or green. The punishment is because it is not possible for a brave, intelligent creature like you to waste time arguing with a donkey, and on top of that to come and bother me with that question.
The worst waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who doesn’t care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions. Never waste time on discussions that make no sense…
There are people who for all the evidence presented to them, do not have the ability to understand, and others who are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment, and the only thing that they want is to be right even if they aren’t.
When ignorance screams, intelligence shuts up. Your peace and tranquility are worth more.

On Being Happy
The moment you choose to be happy
No matter where you are
You begin to learn to smile from the heart
You begin to change the way you speak
You begin to listen deeply and be focused
On happier things than the mundane
You evolve and thank life…
Every day a little more in time
Being happy is a choice
And the choice rests with you.

Words to live by…
Live with authenticity
Pretense falls flat some time or the other
Steer clear of dependency,
Dependency create inequality.
Prudence is being always on guard
It is a better form of defense.
Listen to understand
Without trying to prove anything
Avoid the attack mode of offense
Choose to communicate better
Converse calmly create peace
Wherever you are …
