Blooming in my terrace garden… Roses have a beauty of their own Colours contrasting with the green leaves They blossom and capture hearts Arrestingly captivating To look at, enticingly fragrant So delicate and fragile But in all their vulnerability Their charm flows in abundance Always a sight to behold! Amazingly significant, For a life so short lived. Such is the wonder of life and living Amazing nature! Amazing beauty! Teaching us it is not the length of time we live , but in how best we can live the time we have!
We need to see beyond survival We need to go beyond adapting We need to transform our life Beyond the present perceptions That we are conditioned by We need to release the fear and anxiety And apprehensions that we are living with We need to build the peace within.
We can touch transcendence Through faith, prayers & meditations For insights to stabilize and get embodied In such a stage of conscious presence As we build our self awareness We vibrate and tune into new frequencies We hear and listen more and evolve In our unique journeys.
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.
From the architect of time, the source creator came a space of nothingness (akash)from space came matter (energy) from matter came movement (wind, air) from movement came fluidity (flow, water) from fluidity came existence from existence emanated the spirit of life (the breath of life, fire passion).
The elements existence are a guide in an acknowledgement of interdependence. An awareness of the interconnections is an acceptance that everything exists in the subtlety of balance. The spirit of life and living is the bridge to our calling and purpose of being and the journey to the being. The path is and will be ours and yet not just ours.
Every move in time is interlinked in the bridge of time that we were, are and will be on. The bridge of time is in eternal cycle of motion. All matter constitutes one or more of the elements in different proportions . While the mind of the matter perceives it in thoughts, the heart of the matter senses … The mindful thoughts and heartfelt feeling are both real and unreal all at the same time.
Consciousness is the bridge of awareness between the extrinsic and the intrinsic between the learning and the knowing. And in this understanding is the realization… whole and complete, of all as it is .
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
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.
