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 mystic of creation.
Savvy
Like the sky above,
Be expansive,
Unfurl your imagination,
Extend yourself, reach beyond knowing.
Like the earth below,
Be connected,
Yet stay rooted to the ground,
Have the steadfastness like the earth.
Like the fire within,
Be spirited,
Let your passion speak,
Explore life and give it your all.
Savvy
They say it’s what you do that matters
But it’s the thought that counts
Can we choose one thought over other
Yes we can in mindfulness
Being aware is the first step
The choice rests with you
For you are your thoughts
As much as your deeds .

Some people make the world a better place by their thoughts words and deeds...
Sharing a touching story of truths of life and living…
THE HAPPIEST MAN
When Billionaire Femi Otedola in a telephone interview, was asked by the radio presenter, “Sir what can you remember made you the happiest man in life?”
Femi said: “I have gone through four stages of happiness in life and finally I understood the meaning of true happiness.”
The first stage was to accumulate wealth and means. But at this stage I did not get the happiness I wanted.
Then came the second stage of collecting valuables and items. But I realized that the effect of this thing is also temporary and the lustre of valuable things does not last long.
Then came the third stage of getting big projects. That was when I was holding 95% of diesel supply in Nigeria and Africa. I was also the largest vessel owner in Africa and Asia. But even here I did not get the happiness I had imagined.
The fourth stage was the time a friend of mine asked me to buy wheelchair for some disabled children. Just about 200 kids.
At the friend’s request, I immediately bought the wheelchairs. But the friend insisted that I go with him and hand over the wheelchairs to the children. I got ready and went with him.
There I gave these wheel chairs to these children with my own hands. I saw the strange glow of happiness on the faces of these children. I saw them all sitting on the wheelchairs, moving around and having fun.
It was as if they had arrived at a picnic spot where they are sharing a jackpot wining.
I felt real joy inside me. When I decided to leave one of the kids grabbed my legs. I tried to free my legs gently but the child stared at my face and held my legs tightly. I bent down and asked the child: Do you need something else?
The answer this child gave me not only made me happy but also changed my attitude to life completely. This child said: “I want to remember your face so that when I meet you in heaven, I will be able to recognize you and thank you once again”.
What would you be remembered for after you leave that office or place?
Will anyone desire to see your face again where it all matters?
Think! Live your life in a manner that others desire to see your face again.
When we care to truly listen
We can hear our soul’s calling.
In the journey of life
Every one of us
Has a unique pathway
That is our reason to be
That makes us feel fulfillment
That speaks to us with all of our heart
That makes us see the signs
How far would you go
To find your pathway?

Time may move friends away
Destiny may pave a way back
Being a friend is more important
Than just making friends
Truly quality of friendship
Matters more than quantity
Make effort to reach out
And express your care and concern
Be a good friend to have a good friend.
How many lost friends find their way
Back to you in time
Says a lot about your relationships.

There is the power of sounds
Discovered in Silence,
In meditative stillness,
In contemplative introspection,
In the expansiveness of understanding.
In the depths of listening,
There is, then, the power of words,
Of vision in verses
Or expressions of the uniqueness —
All mere vibrations in resonance.
Savvy
Every skill can be taught and learned
But the truth of being is in our ways.
To be authentic to ourselves
To have and live with integrity
To be compassionate & care
To be kind and considerate
Most of all to be true to yourself…
Be a good human
And be humane.
You will find the best version of you!

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 the interdependence. An awareness of interconnections in an acceptance that everything exists in the subtlety of balance.
The spirit of life and living is the bridge to our calling &purpose of being. As well as in the journey of 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. Mindful thoughts and heartfelt feeling are both real and unreal all at the same time. And 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 .

On Balance & Imbalances
Balance..
Enables evenness
In distribution
Ensures equality in varied elements
Or even propelling proportionality.
Empowers a sense of steadiness.
Without lose of control
Balance is grace in movement
Balance is grace in stillness too
Balance is also about being in equipoise
In envisioning or even in the sensing
A state of equanimity in the being.
Where all is well.
Yet the irony of balance
Is the equilibrium is subjective
To the opposition to balance
In a state of unrest and uncertainties
Doubts and fear creep in unexpected
Creating imbalances in its own path
Little knowing the state of balance
Are the very reason for wellbeing.
Savvy
Life is what you make of it!
It can be the way you choose it to be!
It is a reflection of your state of being.
Life is heaven or hell in this now
Truly beautiful or unbearable
All in the how you want to see it.
It’s not about perfection
For nobody’s perfect
Life & living can be perfectly Imperfect
Seek excellence if you must
Seek to be the best version of you!
And find the wonderful in today!
Savvy
Take a deep breath
To truly be able…
To Breathe in ease
feel the peace deep within.
Take not this breath for granted
Know the gift of grace in every breath.
Inhale and exhale
Sensing Gratitude in every breath
Savvy
To life …. in all its dancing glory 🙂
To being all that one can be!
To changing & evolving for the better
To creating hope & possibilities
To exploring the seemingly impossible
To envisioning the capabilities
For life is best lived in expression
Of all that one can be!
So yes to life and living!

A Sufi Tale:
A merchant from Baghdad entered a Sufi’s shop, which had essence jars on the shelves.
Marveling at the beauty of the place, he asked, “Sir, what is sold here?”
The Sufi replied, “The gifts of God”.
The merchant was surprised with the answer, & asked, “And how much do they cost?”
“Nothing, here all is for free”, said the Sufi, observing carefully, that the traveller could see the labels: “Jugs of Love”; “Jars of Faith”; “Packages of Hope”.
The merchant said, “A big jug of love, all the packages of hope & three jars of faith for me, my friends & my family”.
The Sufi carefully prepared the order & handed him a small box.
Surprised, the merchant exclaimed, “But, but…. how can everything I have asked for, be in this tiny box?”
Smiling, the Sufi replied, “In God’s store, we do not sell fruits, only seeds. You have to sow them.
