There is a grace
In the lightness of being
While it is difficult to practice
When one is hurting from within
In acknowledging the now
And in knowing the change is awaiting
Troubles are meant to turn away
Sense there is always better moments
Forging ahead in forgiveness
Makes the moments less dense
And keeps hope and love alive
In the heart of the living.
Forgiveness heals!
2 for 1.

Peace matters
More than we know
For the heart is never at ease
In the wake of uncertainties & tensions
Allow love and peace to leads the way
Steer towards positive thoughts in this now
And sense your life thrive as you live.

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!

On Integrity!
Treat yourself well
And treat others equally well!
Value your sense of self esteem
But value another’s right to theirs.
True integrity lies in…
Practicing one’s own preaching
Be true to your word
For both matter a whole lot
No one is an island
Every one is necessary and important
For who they are and deeply entwined
In the grand plan of life .
Stay true to who you are
For you are best at being you
Integrity speaks from deeds not words
Make sure your actions justify your words
And sense the calm you feel in your heart
And watch the ease of being when with another.
All it needs is a little care and concern
For the world in and around you!
Savvy
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.

Hold The Door Open
HTDO
Mathews, a hotshot sales manager, on a Sunday evening, was in the parking lot of a shopping mall. The parking lot was packed. Cars were crawling with anxious drivers looking for that one vacant slot. Mathews, sharp and aggressive as he was known to be, spotted a vacant space ahead and quickly zoomed in. He could see another car trying to reverse into the same slot, but Mathews was determined to beat the other man to it. And he did! Mathews felt jubilant – as we all sometimes do with life’s little victories. The old man driving the car was disappointed. He looked Mathews in the eye and continued his search for another parking slot.
Two days later, Mathews was preparing for one of the biggest moments of his career. He was close to winning a big contract for his company. And all that was left now was the formal handshake meeting with the client’s CEO. As Mathews walked into the client’s office and saw the CEO, he felt a sudden sense of discomfort. Yes, it was the same man from whom he had snatched the parking slot on Sunday. And you can guess what happened thereafter. Alas! If only Mathews had grown up with the HTDO habit!
So whats HTDO?
It has probably happened to you before. As you walk towards the door of an office, or a hotel, the person walking in front holds the door open for you. Remember how good it made you feel – if only for that moment.
Isn’t it surprising that although we all feel good when someone holds the door open for us, we seldom do the same for other? How come?
It’s probably because we are all preoccupied with ourselves and obsessed with getting ahead. Here, then, is a life-changing lesson they don’t teach you in any B school – ‘Hold The Door Open’.
The world can be divided into two types of people. Those who push open a door, walk through and let it slam behind them. That’s the 99% of the population. And there’s the 1% who hold it open to allow the next person to walk through. Learn to do that, and you too could join the select 1% club. HTDO doesn’t merely make other people feel good. It makes you feel good too. HTDO translates into a behaviour of helping and caring.
Winning in life is less about naked ambition and more about helping other people win.
Someone once said, “It’s nice to be important. But it’s more important to be nice”
Make a beginning. Hold The Door Open.😊👍🏼
I loved reading this inspiring forward so much that I simply wanted to share.
If there is any of you who would like to share their stories of holding the door open pls feel free to do so.
For a manager in today’s world the gamechanger here is a set of new perspectives that can help in excellence on the job .
Embrace technology to stay updated.
Be efficient to be effective. Do things faster and work smarter.
Work with Integrity and command respect than demand it.
Listen actively and respond promptly without delays.
Manage time well use management tools onder promise and over deliver consistently.
Be professional in your behavior and approach work with a positive mindset no matter how the day pans out
Make yourself indispensable
Do things others cannot do or won’t do…
Quantify by using metrics to analyze or to present your contributions.
Align with your buisness. Understand and work in tandem with the vision and mission of the company.
A way appears
Out of nowhere
Somehow when you need it most
Trust the way to deliver
As there is always more meant to be
For hope is here to stay
Look for the good in every way
And you will find it any way.

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.
Savvy
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.

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
Savvy
Make a choice
To choose the way of life and living
Intend that you want to manifest
And all that you do not want…
The sooner you let go
The things you cannot change
The better your journey in this now
Life is full of challenges in the changes
But there is a Choice that rests with you!
Make a choice today!

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
