You are greater than your circumstances
And powerful than you can ever begin to imagine
And in all having faith trust & self belief by your side gives you the confidence to take a step towards your dreams and say yes to life!

Trustful ways
In any organization
When leadership listens
Empathy is nurtured
Safe space is created
Conversations connect
Teams bond in trustfulness
Productivity rises
In balanced motivation
Both intrinsic & external
Work becomes less dense
In collaboration & cooperation
Valuing diversity of potential
Possibilities are explored
Challenges gets simplified
Structure becomes systems
Protocols are in place
Change is acknowledged
In faith goodwill and trust
That we are stronger together
There is unity in diversity
As respect becomes culture.
Trust becomes the way.

On Serendipity
On Serendipity
A delightful start to the day came from a sensational photo share on Serendipity by a friend Amina Alami.
Serendipity appears for us to sense from nowhere… Juxtaposed in the joy of the discovery.
Speaking of Serendipity… I am sharing a flow of thoughts coincidentally…
There is always a reason
Nothing is accidental they say
Yet much occurs in goodwill & coincidence
In being in the moment
You are ready to give and receive
With all of you.
In being able to flow with the changes
You begin to see beyond the challenges
Life is what you can make of it
When the intentions are pleasant
There is always something salibrious
That you can find without searching
Sense the Serendipity flowing your way!
Carpe diem, Seize the moment!
Live life Lovingly!

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.
Savvy
It’s possible
Infinite potential
Infinite possibilities
In every breath
Inhale inspiration
Exhale the spurious
Trust the power of the infinite
Possibilities in every now.

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.

An intelligence called Empathy
Empathy is a social intelligence worth having and honing
Empathy meets you where you are as you are
Without judgements and competition
Empathy is a resiunding resonance
Empathic communication leaves you touched and heard.
Empathy allows you to show acceptance and sense connection.
Empathy walks through and paves its way into the heart
Empathy is about sensing anothers heart and its ways
Empathy motivates the spirit and nurtures the being.
Empathy is a social intelligence
A much needed life skill
Empathy speaks more powerfully than words as its from all of you
Empathy connects through in an instant.
For Empathy is the way of the heart and heart knows the way.

Social Wisdom
(IT IS A SHARED POST)

SOME SOCIAL RULES THAT MAY HELP YOU:
- Don’t call someone more than twice continuously. If they don’t pick up your call, presume they have something important to attend to;
- 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.
- Never order the expensive dish on the menu when someone is giving you a lunch/dinner.
- Don’t ask awkward questions like ‘Oh so you aren’t married yet?’ Or ‘Don’t you have kids’ or ‘Why didn’t you buy a house?’ Or why don’t you buy a car? For God’s sake it isn’t your problem;
- 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;
- If you take a taxi with a friend and he/she pays now, try paying next time;
- 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;
- Never interrupt people talking. Allow them to pour it out. As they say, hear them all and filter them all;
- 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;
- Say “thank you” when someone is helping you.
- Praise publicly. Criticize privately;
- There’s almost never a reason to comment on someone’s weight. Just say, “You look fantastic.” If they want to talk about losing weight, they will;
- When someone shows you a photo on their phone, don’t swipe left or right. You never know what’s next;
- 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;
- 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;
- If a person is speaking directly to you, staring at your phone is rude;
- Never give advice until you’re asked;
- When meeting someone after a long time, unless they want to talk about it, don’t ask them their age and salary;
- Mind your business unless anything involves you directly – just stay out of it;
- 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
- 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….
The heart knows
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.

Wind in the shell
We are all mere wind in a shell
Winding &unwinding
Our thoughts in every now
We are travellers shoring our souls
One beach to another
Evolving along the way…

I wrote these lines as a response to a comment on my earlier post .I came across it today and felt it was just apt with the image above.
A moment of gratitude
In every moment of Gratitude
There is a shift in perspective
Altering dimensions of the reality
Renewing the faith in the flow of life
Regenerating possibilities in grace
Integrating the mind body spirit connection.
Harmonizing all of life and living.

Happy Women’s Day
Stories from Life and Living
In this series I share stories that are thought provoking, inspiring, motivational or touching our lives in some way or the other.
Better late than never
My mom had a lot of problems. She did not sleep and she felt exhausted. She was irritable, grumpy, and bitter. She was always sick, until one day, suddenly, she changed.
The situation was the same, but she was different.
One day my dad said to her:
– I’ve been looking for a job for three months and I haven’t found anything, I’m going to have a few beers with friends.
My mom replied:
– It’s okay.
My brother said to her:
– Mom, I’m doing poorly in all subjects at the University …
My mom replied:
– Okay, you will recover, and if you don’t, well, you repeat the semester, but you pay the tuition.
My sister said to her:
– Mom, I hit the car.
My mom replied:
– Okay daughter, take it to the workshop, find how to pay and while they fix it, get around by bus or subway.
Her daughter-in-law said to her:
– Mother-in-law, I come to spend a few months with you.
My mom replied:
– Okay, settle in the living room couch and look for some blankets in the closet.
All of us at my mom’s house gathered worried to see these reactions.
We suspected that she had gone to the doctor and that she was prescribe some pills of “I don’t give a damn about 1000 mg.”
She would probably also be ingesting an overdose.
We then proposed to do an “intervention” to my mother to remove her from any possible addiction she had towards some anti-tantrum medication.
But what was not the surprise, when we all gathered around her and my mom explained:
“It took me a long time to realize that each person is responsible for their life, it took me years to discover that my anguish, my mortification, my depression, my courage, my insomnia and my stress, did not solve their problems but aggravated mine.
I am not responsible for the actions of others, but I am responsible for the reactions I express to that.
Therefore, I came to the conclusion that my duty to myself is to remain calm and let each one solve what corresponds to them.
I have taken courses in yoga, meditation, miracles, human development, mental hygiene, vibration and neurolinguistic programming, and in all of them, I found a common denominator: finally they all lead to the same point.
And, it is that I can only interfere with myself, you have all the necessary resources to solve your own lives.
I can only give you my advice if you ask me and it depends on you to follow it or not.
So, from now on, I cease to be: the receptacle of your responsibilities, the sack of your guilt, the laundress of your remorse, the advocate of your faults, the wall of your lamentations, the depositary of your duties, who should solve your problems or spare a tire every time to fulfill your responsibilities.
From now on, I declare all independent and self-sufficient adults.
Everyone at my mom’s house was speechless.
From that day on, the family began to function better, because everyone in the house knows exactly what it is that they need to do.

A HAPPY WOMAN!!( pls feel free to share)
Colours
Coloring all the way
Every flower speaks its truth
As much as every part of nature
Finding its own identity
Like day and night
Dusk and dawn
Colored through myriad hues of light
Creating hope and beauty of life
Nature says, in the most colorful way,
Flow through the day
Express your self uniquely along the way!
Happy Festival of Colors
Happy Holi!
