Power of positive belief
Self belief and self confidence has a way of showing up …beyond ourselves
In the way we treat others around us
The way we take time out to ensure
That they are cared for and understood
The way we trust ourselves to do much more…
Self belief makes us, own the space we occupy…
And makes us shine the light on others and yet shine our own brilliance.

Every continent has become an island in itself,
Every country has become a fort in itself,
Every state has become a prison in itself,
Every city has become a jail in itself,
Every family live in confinement ,
Every member is confined to their solitary cell.
Afraid to travel, afraid to meet,
Afraid to hug ,all in their own cell.
Nature endowed us with power to protect.
Our selfish greed ,ego and pride
put us in this unfathomable pit.
What we have done to ourselves.
In the name of research n development
We have ended up in our own hell.
Never cross boundaries with Nature
None can stand its powerful nature.
The lessons learnt are never to forget.
All long for the bygone past
wandering freely in spaces vast,
Celebrating occasions
mingling with relations.
Humble down to Cosmic rules
Simple joys will surface in our pools .

“A mind is like a parachute. It doesn’t work if it isn’t open.” – Frank Zappa
You decide how much your mind is ready to receive.
Your mind is as open as you want it to be…

When you begin to see the good
Life begins to feel good
What seems difficult is easier to bear
The burden seems to ease
As the way you perceive
Changes the equation
Colours seems to shine better
Moments begin to matter
Life seems to be more enjoyable
And every day begins & end better.
Keep seeing and sharing the good
There is so much of it after all!

Enthusiasm is the energy in the living
A beautiful state of flow in the being
Enthusiasm is often the reason for excellence
The challenge is in sustaining itself
From losing steam midway…
Perhaps due to lack of appreciation
Or motivation to be enthused
Making way for mediocrity
At work or at play.
Question is then how to be enthused
Into doing the same tasks differently
And break free from rut of routine
Very simple…
Stay hopeful, see life as a potential
Create the possibilities
It’s all in the way of envisioning
How you want to build your truths.
It’s all up to you!

Change is inevitable, but you are the one in charge of how the change impacts you and how you respond to the changes.
Dare to dance with it! Dance with life!

Positively speaking.
Whether it is today, in these times of uncertainty or other… a positive approach to life and living is deeply rewarding.
This is indeed wonderful as an attitude to cultivate towards living life. Being positively enriching & encouraging is truly the best way to help make a difference.
But the trick is in fine balancing the emotions that manifest along the way.
Embodied Practice of Empathy
When you practice sharing positive vibes consistently, you are putting a lot of hope and faith out in the world.
Yet you need to be empathic to yourself, care to understand your own emotions as well, by accepting and acknowledging them, without getting embroiled in them .
Make sure to acknowledge what is happening with your own life.
Speak from the heart.
All that is happening in the world today can be disheartening . So when you are out, sharing positive vibes make sure that you are internalizing them too. Sustaining a spirit of hopefulness is the key driver for a positive mindset . The world needs doses of positive attitude in thoughts words and deeds.
Authenticity of Attitude.
Making sure to feel from your own heart before you share these words of hope is a worthy practice to adopt.
Whatever said or written,words are mere words But when you begin to respect and respond to the emotions sensed in the feelings that arise you begin to see the world in its most vulnerable state.
When heart speaks the world hums along…

There is always a reason
Nothing is accidental
There is always purpose of being.
Let the purpose become bigger
At every step of the way
Remember you are creating ripples
That are expanding your purpose
Of living , of being who you are.
As you are meant to be.
In the infinite abundance of being.

In giving is a grace of hopefulness
In receiving is a respect in Gratitude.
In giving is a trust in abundance
In receiving is an acknowledgement.
Every giving and every receiving is a gift of life.
Both are beautiful beyond compare in the grace of the action and response.
To be able to give without wanting
To be able receive without greed
Makes these gifts meaningful.
Grateful for these gifts of life.
Savvy
Every move we make
In acknowledgement
Of the infinite truths of life.
Of the abundance of nature.
Every step we take in harmony
In conscious awareness
Of the interconnections
Of the nature of our being.
If we only care to remember
How intrinsically intertwined
Is every life to another.
Such is the miracle of every life
Every sign , sound, symbol & shape
Every part of nature has a reason to be.
Interrelated in the river of time.
Envision potential in expansiveness
Of possibilities in inclusiveness.
Recognize the awe & wonder of life.
The miracle of every manifestation.

Life experiences…
Life plays on, making us experience one moment after another. Every day our experiences in living life, can become our guide and compass.
Every failure can be a lesson to learn from and tread wisely with renewed perspectives. Every success can be an open door to more opportunities.
Life moves on
Look forward
Pause to rest, recover
And replenish the self
But be in tandem with time
Dont get stuck in a time warp
Adapt with the changes
Move with grace along the way
Who knows, what’s awaiting
To greet you this next moment
Think well and live lovingly!
Savvy
No amounts of words we simply hear can help heal the world …
As much as even just a pair of helping hands from a loving heart in harmony.

Team Management & Motivation Tips
If you are in a position of leadership and influence, consider it your responsibility to keep your team motivated consistently.
Every career experience is deeply significant in understanding and expanding your vision. As a Consultant & Mentor, my years as a Ballroom Dance Educator & Trainer have been truly insightful in understanding teamwork and collaboration and the values of direction and motivation from a leadership perspective in team performance.
Here are a few tips to manage & motivate your team.
Attitude: A team is a set of individuals who are meant to align towards a vision and mission. Start of by getting the hiring process right. Hire the people with the right attitude.
Connection : Begin to connect with your team with genuine interest in their work plan, issues and tasks at hand. You are more likely to understand the pain points, their strengths and find proper resolutions
Trust building : Building trust in your team starts with a leader who knows when to engage and when to back off.
Trust creates responsibility and makes team members accountable.
Safety : A team that is ensured, mental, physical, social, environmental safety feels well-supported. Understand how important it is for every member to sense the safety so that your team can take steps with confidence.
Respect: Give respect to get respect.
Create a platform to collaborate without character assaults and biased opinions.Always remember there is the benefit of doubt.
Non-judgmental : Avoid & Reduce personal bias and judgements in assumptions from affecting your team.
Be inclusive and create a diversity in the team such that it becomes a source of strength.
Attention: Care to pay attention and nurture your team. Be available and wholly present to guide, mentor your teams through their tasks and issues. But reduce dependencies.
Appreciation: Last but not the least care to celebrate their small & large wins, take time to appreciate the good work.

And be inspired
To make life beautiful,

The ground truths of any relationship in time..
Two ways of thinking….
Familiarity breeds contempt
While the absence makes the heart fonder.
One…
All seems wonderful in the beginning
As time goes by time takes its toll.
Straining the togetherness
Cracking apart at its seams
Creating distances and gaps that grow
Making the memories sustain in hope
Or seek a closure in forgetfulness.
Two…
In isolation and silence
Seeds of thoughts find time to germinate
In both exclusion or seclusion
The heart longs for companionship
The thoughts turn to fond remembrances
Of bygone memories of the good times
Life tries to recall & recreate those times.
To salvage what is left and cherish
Knowing the priceless treasures it brings.
Hence the absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Life moves on and finds new beginnings
Yet in adaptability & flexibility
Nature continues its pathway
All comes a full circle.
Such is the circle of life.
