Life & Living
Whenever I come across a heart touching action, or a prose ,a poem or quote I will be sharing it here in this series…
Some people make the world a better place by their thoughts words and deeds…
Some people, tell it like it is without mincing anything
And the truth in all its profound simplicity tugs your heartstrings…
Beautiful words
Written by
Sophia Loren (Actress)…
_” When I got enough confidence, the stage was gone….. When I was sure of Losing, I won……. When I needed People the most, they Left me……. When I learnt to dry my Tears, I found a shoulder to Cry on…… When I mastered the Skill of Hating, Someone started Loving me from the core of the Heart…… And, while waiting for Light for Hours when I fell asleep, the Sun came out….. That’s LIFE!! No matter what you Plan, you never know what Life has Planned for you…… Success introduces you to the World……. But Failure introduces the World to you……. ……Always be Happy!! Often when we lose Hope and think this is the end… God smiles from above and says, “Relax Sweetheart; It’s just a Bend, not the End..!”_
Worthy reminder indeed!
Worth taking a moment to be inspired by the truth of life and living in her words.
Here is another recent share about her …

When heart speaks the world hums along…
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…

Purpose of being
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.

Miracle of life
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.

Guide & Compass
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!

Loving kindness
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.

Perspectives
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.

Every day, in every way, the awareness builds upon you, as you become more and more grateful for all that is, was and will be.
In every move towards Gratefulness you are creating a bridge of Gratitude to channel your emotions when they go astray.
Let your Gratitude speak beyond words, in actions that matter.
Let the walls of uncertainty, in doubts and lack of faith trust and belief, shift away in the winds of positive transformation.
Let your heart and mind be on one page.
In the aligned thoughts, let your breath be free and easy.
Let your life expressions be empathic & compassionate.
Let your lifes moments be like the tender breeze, easing in the flow.
Let every Gratitude you sense, become building rocks on the bridge of GRATITUDE.

Art Matters
We need arts to explore our potential and understand ourselves
For the study and practice of arts opens us to discover different perspectives.
Art patterns itself through creativity
And art flourishes in appreciation and patronage.
But art emotes from the depth of the soul and spirit in the sensing.
Art can salvage the broken and the indifferent souls.
As much as channel the creative genius to express from within.
Art is both an intervention as much as intrainment experience.
When the soul speaks art renders.
