On Listening

There is the power of Sounds

Discovered in betwixt the Silence

In the meditative mode of stillness

In contemplative introspection

In the expansiveness of understanding

In the depth of listening

There is then the power of words

Of the vision in the verses

Of expressions in the sensing

Flowing with feelings in the sharing

All vibrations in the resonance.

There is in the power of Silence

Discovered betwixt the words

That speaks the truth yet unspoken

When Silence Speaks

It is good to listen.

On Acceptance

In Acceptance, there are many perspectives in the understanding.
Acceptance as I see it, is not giving up or being in the same place.
To me a practice of self acceptance is an ability to respect the now and in turn acknowledge the transient  nature of  everything.
To accept then is to be able to have a feel or a vision of the situation as it is experienced in the now. 
Acceptance is often seen as being defenseless.


Yet to envision that acceptance comes from a place of strength,  is to be able to understand that we are not one entity but made of many parts that matter to the  whole.
So the stance of acceptance is about flow & movements in the stillness, in hope to evolve in time along with the changes.

The Paradox of Idea Generation

While working with teams in collaboration Our assumptions and notions often lead us.

Our expressions are guarded and stunted in Our doubts kicks in a resistance to be free.

The attitudes that we carry around ideas
Often block us from generating fresh ideas
We believe our idea must be the best idea.
We believe we cannot say what we think.
We fear the criticism of what we openly say
We hold back thinking sharing is not wise.
Or that someone  will steal our ideas.
Or that we will not get credit for it.
Or perhaps the need for perfection kicks in

All are the real blocks in creative ideations
Without faith and confidence in ourselves
We cannot express & ideate in groups
Yet nothing is achieved in silos
Growth is a consequence of the sharing.

Creative possibilities are enhanced
In a more exploratory space of learning Adopting  a more collaborative approach.
As we begin to share, we learn some more.

Great ideas are born from creative collaboration.

Have you tried to collaborate creatively with a team? Do share your experiences.

The Grass Is…

Grass is as you see it!

The donkey told the tiger: The grass is blue.

The tiger replied: No, the grass is green.

The discussion became heated, and the two decided to submit the issue to arbitration, and to do so they approached the lion.

Before reaching the clearing in the forest where the lion was sitting on his throne, the donkey started screaming: ′′Your Highness, isn’t it true that the grass is blue?”

The lion replied: “True, the grass is blue”.

The donkey rushed forward and continued: ′′The tiger disagrees with me and contradicts me and annoys me. Please punish him”.

The king then declared: ′′The tiger will be punished with 5 years of silence”.

The donkey jumped with joy and went on his way, content and repeating: ′′The grass is blue”..

The tiger accepted his punishment, but he asked the lion: ′′Your Majesty, why have you punished me, after all, the grass is green?”

Truth asserts itself!

The lion replied: ′′In fact, the grass is green”.

The tiger asked: ′′So why do you punish me?”

The lion replied:

That has nothing to do with the question of whether the grass is blue or green. The punishment is because it is not possible for a brave, intelligent creature like you to waste time arguing with a donkey, and on top of that to come and bother me with that question.

Your time is precious!

The worst waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who doesn’t care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions. Never waste time on discussions that make no sense…

There are people who for all the evidence presented to them, do not have the ability to understand, and others who are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment, and the only thing that they want is to be right even if they aren’t.

What to focus on ? Choice is yours!

When ignorance screams, intelligence shuts up. Your peace and tranquility are worth more.

Words to live by…

Live with authenticity

Pretense falls flat some time or the other

Steer clear of dependency,

Dependency create inequality.

Prudence is being always on guard

It is a better form of defense.

Listen to understand

Without trying to prove anything

Avoid the attack mode of offense

Choose to communicate better

Converse calmly create peace

Wherever you are …

A STEP IN TIME

One person  can have the vision

But it takes many hearts to manifest it to reality

Trust the power of the many.

Towards a goal in unison

Think each of us together, a step in time

That’s the secret…

Of making an impactful difference!

Footprints

This Birthday I am deeply grateful for the good energies and wish it likewise for all here.

And I share here,

what I deeply feel about living life and leaving imprints on the sands of time ….


Leave footprints if you must .
On the sands of time in trust
Just remember ….
No footprint is totally foolproof
to be washproof

All is a game
like the tides that tame
Even the strongest surfer …
Eternal to all is time and nothing else
And sparking in the cosmos we are all just wayfarers

Tread softly
Love authentically
Live lovingly
Behave empathically
Speak truthfully
Move consciously
Grow gratefully !

Finding Meaning

Photo by Quang Nguyen Vinh on Pexels.com

We all sail in the same boat of unending hope
We all learn of life in the living
Sharing experiences along the way.
We adjust our sails as we sense the winds of wisdom blow
And follow in hope of discovering more in the flow…
And in the leading and the following
Life goes on…
Finding meaning for itself!

On Trees & Gratitude

Every  tree is beautiful
No matter where it is
But some take your breath away
In the sheer grace of abundance
Of nature’s manifestation.


Speaking  of trees
There is tree that comes to mind
That I used to always be charmed by
In my daily walk while in a distant land
It is a beautiful tree in Rennes France
A glance would be enough to feel
The gratitude welling up in me
For the bounties of nature!
So grateful!

On Goals

What kinds of goals do you set for yourself?

How often do you set goals?

Do you often check on your goals ?

How inspired do you feel by these goals?

Do you feel motivated by your own goals?

Do you often stretch your goals ?

Do they challenge you to do more?

The goals you set for yourself

Speak much about you and your nature

The goals you set ought to lead you

Towards a journey in faith and belief

In trust and in synch

With your convictions of your intentions

Aim high as you set your goals

And reach out some more .

Evolve yourself as you grow

Love

When you love deeply

You begin to respect life

In all forms that you see

You revere the omnipresence

You wonder about abundance in awe

Your life becomes more meaningful

For there is so much more to understand

About Life in the living

You become more present in the moment

Every now has immense potential

And you begin to live than simply exist

Live life lovingly!

Hope Against Hope

We brave the chances

We take the risks

We endure the worst

For we know the world is round

All is meant to flow

And hence there is heartfelt hope

In the most difficult moments

Simply know hope is here to stay

On Heartfulness

When life seem a little too chaotic

When time seems to zip past us

When you wish to pause and reflect

Can you begin to see with your heart

For the heart comes along with truth

Of the being betwixt all the frenzy & fear

The heart emotes and senses

In all authenticity and intuition

Choose heartfulness

Allow yourself to tune in to hear

The beat of the not so distant drummer

Be ready to listen to its beat in synchrony

For heart knows the path of the being.

Believe & You can

An ability to believe in yourself takes you far. In self confidence is an energy that penetrates the insecurities and uproots fear and doubts in faith of Self belief.

Being open minded

Recently I came across a post about being open minded to wonder, than being closed to the world through belief. Being open minded need not make you a non believer in fact it is when you are able to believe that, there are other perspectives just as much as your own, is when you are truly open minded.

Positively impacting beliefs

Belief can be in trust that learning’s are about of what was and all is well in this now and hoping the best for the future. True belief is never a resistance but a bond in love trust faith and hope without feeling bound.

Believe & you can!

Belief can strengthen the living you in adversity belief can ease your thoughts in calamity
Belief can work to connect you to yourself
Belief is acknowledging in the strength of human potential, because you can!
