Creative Journey

Photo by Meruyert Gonullu on Pexels.com

Creativity thrves in an open minded approach with an ability to trust and try.


To take a chance is to take a step into the unexplored unknown dimensions of potential possibilities.

The creative spirit is replenished in such an atmosphere.The forays into the unknown can be a pure game of chance.

A dare unto beyond that may or may not pay rich dividends. But in those trials and tribulations a creative soul is nurtured. And new paths are created to journey on!

It will feel just right…

There is always hope

For things to get better

There is always tommorow

Another day full of promise

Keep the faith and trust

It will feel just right.

PowerΒ of humanity

PowerΒ  of humanity
Is in the uniqueness
Of free will that innovates
In creativityΒ  and expression
As much as in the unity
Of collaboration that resolves in resilience
The way of the future
Is in the converging
Of hearts and minds
Towards resolution
In kindness and compassion
In humane ways
To construct than destruct nature & the worldΒ at large.

Let’s respect ,value & acknowledge this super power of humanity that we have within each of us and apply this in the world around us.

Trust the journey

Every moment offers immense possibilities

In the infinite potential

Those who can focus on what drives them

In passion, trustful patience & dedicated perseverance

Can reach where they choose to go…

Acknowledgement

How to see the good

When bad is doing the round

To bring the good in focus

Perhaps you need to search

For it in their way of being

In the visible & hidden nature

There is much that happens

In the circumstances

And much that goes invisible

For it cannot be expressed

For it is seen as a weakness

To be vulnerable

To be sensitive & emote

Are qualities that are negated

For it makes ones life difficult

But life has many shades

The very weakness for one

Can be a strength for another

It’s all in the way we see it.

Every life is precious

With many gifts of nature

It is in us to acknowledge.

On Success

Success is an interesting journey and not a destination
The more you sense the bigger picture
You lovingly loose yourself in something hat is bigger than yourself…
The greater your energy
and the closer you are to where you want to be.
Success is within each of us waiting for us to make a
move towards it.

On thankfulness

There is so much more to thankfulness

Your mind body and spirit

Are integrated in the emotions

Your life becomes more abundant

Your health improves along the way

For you hold not expression or suppress feelings

You appreciate what needs to be appreciated

You create circles of light hope and joy in thankfulness.

Make sure to add yourself in your list of thankfulness.

Valuing Family

In every relationship

Family, friendship or at work

All is a matter of values

We inculcate through life.

https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7045730457279221760?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_android

When it all starts from respect

And ends with respect.

There is dignity of being

In a world distanced in reality

By technology and internet

Increasing the screentimes

And enslaving people

There is much need

To use it to our advantage

Than be redundant with it.

Nature’s Wisdom

This tree is uniquely shaped  and there is always a reason to be…

There is much in the pattern.
With angles that self-balance.
Supported in the shaping.
To survive the storm.
Swaying in the wind.
So full of spaces in between
To evolve and to grow.
With confidence of connection
Rooted in a solid foundation.
The tree find its own flow
Paving the pathway 
Manifesting  its uniqueness.
It finds its purpose of being.

Likewise to an organization
That grows steadfast in trust
In strength of the structure.
Spreading its wings in faith

For when the roots are strong
And potential is nurtured
In valuing the roots
In acceptance of the new…      There is freedom to expand.
With fresh perspective at play
Every leader owns an angle towards sustainability.
Great leaders may pitch great angles of perspective.
But a great team is formed by great people.
Like every living part of a tree is significant to the whole tree.
Every individual is valuable to the organization.
Every perspective matters to the cohesive whole.

A great read by my friend Ali Anani prompted me to write this post.

So much wisdom from nature in every form if we choose to see.

All is a dance

There is a dance
In every leaf and flower
In every bud and bloom
In every twig and tree
In every turn and twist
In every life in the living
Of natures creation.
There is grace of uniqueness
Of patterns, of wisdom Beyond compare…
All knowing, all pervading
Magnificent Omnipresence.
Amazing Nature
Amazing Grace.

Social Wisdom

(IT IS A SHARED POST)

Repost credits- Treeza Rodrigues

SOME SOCIAL RULES THAT MAY HELP YOU:

  1. Don’t call someone more than twice continuously. If they don’t pick up your call, presume they have something important to attend to;
  2. Return money that you have borrowed even before the person that borrowed you remember or ask for it. It shows your integrity and character. Same goes with umbrellas, pens and lunch boxes.
  3. Never order the expensive dish on the menu when someone is giving you a lunch/dinner.
  4. Don’t ask awkward questions like β€˜Oh so you aren’t married yet?’ Or β€˜Don’t you have kids’ or β€˜Why didn’t you buy a house?’ Or why don’t you buy a car? For God’s sake it isn’t your problem;
  5. Always open the door for the person coming behind you. It doesn’t matter if it is a guy or a girl, senior or junior. You don’t grow small by treating someone well in public;
  6. If you take a taxi with a friend and he/she pays now, try paying next time;
  7. Respect different shades of opinions. Remember what’s 6 to you will appear 9 to someone facing you. Besides, second opinion is good for an alternative;
  8. Never interrupt people talking. Allow them to pour it out. As they say, hear them all and filter them all;
  9. If you tease someone, and they don’t seem to enjoy it, stop it and never do it again. It encourages one to do more and it shows how appreciative you’re;
  10. Say β€œthank you” when someone is helping you.
  11. Praise publicly. Criticize privately;
  12. There’s almost never a reason to comment on someone’s weight. Just say, β€œYou look fantastic.” If they want to talk about losing weight, they will;
  13. When someone shows you a photo on their phone, don’t swipe left or right. You never know what’s next;
  14. If a colleague tells you they have a doctors’ appointment, don’t ask what it’s for, just say “I hope you’re okay”. Don’t put them in the uncomfortable position of having to tell you their personal illness. If they want you to know, they’ll do so without your inquisitiveness;
  15. Treat the cleaner with the same respect as the CEO. Nobody is impressed at how rude you can treat someone below you but people will notice if you treat them with respect;
  16. If a person is speaking directly to you, staring at your phone is rude;
  17. Never give advice until you’re asked;
  18. When meeting someone after a long time, unless they want to talk about it, don’t ask them their age and salary;
  19. Mind your business unless anything involves you directly – just stay out of it;
  20. Remove your sunglasses if you are talking to anyone in the street. It is a sign of respect. Moreso, eye contact is as important as your speech; and
  21. Never talk about your riches in the midst of the poor. Similarly, don’t talk about your children in the midst of the barren.

22.After reading a good message try to say “Thanks for the message”.

APPRECIATION remains the easiest way of getting what you don’t have….

On Sacredness

What makes it sacred

Is it in the feeling

Or in the invoking

Is it in the sensing

Or in the believing

Sacred is holy,

Sacred is divine

Because there is faith

For without it nothing is

With faith anything is possible

For you see the divinity

In every life.

Sense the divinity

In one another.

And life becomes sacred in every moment.
