Often the difference
Between mediocrity
And excellence
Is in the ability
In reaching beyond
To go the extra mile
For a cause, a passion
In dedicated perseverance
Towards a larger purpose
That is where life feels most alive.

Your life your choice.
Life is awaiting your awareness
To realize the power of your potential.
Its all in the way you choose to live.
To let go & dare to dance the skies
To take the chance on the rapids
To walk along witnessing the flow
To sit by the shores sensing it all…
The choice rests with you…
Every moment is what you make of it
Your life your way!

Value of Values
A beautiful story share that tugs your heartstrings.
Remember Kenyan runner Abel Mutai who was just a few feet from the finish line, but became confused with the signage and stopped, thinking he had completed the race. Spanish runner, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him and, realizing what was happening, started shouting at the Kenyan to continue running. Mutai didn’t know Spanish and didn’t understand. Realizing what was taking place, Fernandez pushed Mutai to victory.
A journalist asked Ivan, “Why did you do that?” Ivan replied, “My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life where we push and help each other to win.”
The journalist insisted “But why did you let the Kenyan win?” Ivan replied, “I didn’t let him win, he was going to win. The race was his.” The journalist insisted, and again asked, “But you could have won!” Ivan looked at him and replied, “But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor in that medal?
What would my Mother think of that?”
Values are passed on from generation to generation.
Paradox of Connection
Life is strange
When it pulls us away
From one another.
Being at opposing ends
We are closer than ever before.
Distance brings people together they say…
Yet when we are right there
The connection feels lost sometimes
As if its strangers not a family
Life plays the game
Putting people together
And creating spaces and distances.
Time seems to slip away
As clock ticks on…
Such is the paradox of connections.
Perfect balance may be an ideal
But delving in, finding the root cause
Of these shifts in the heart and mind
Is important for the future.
We cannot live life by ourselves
We are intricately webbed together
What to speak of Connections
That goes beyond one lifetime.
So much more than what we see
Or even can imagine.

Traveling along…
Sharing a story that came my way on Social Media.
I am Travelling with you !
Every year Parents took their son to his Grandmother’s House for the Summer Break, and they would return Home in train after Two Weeks.
One Day the Boy tells
his Parents:
′′ I’m Grown Up now,
What if I go to Grandma’s House alone this Year ???”
After a Brief Discussion
Parents agree.
They were standing on the Railway Station, seeing him off,
Giving him Last Instruction through the Window,
As Boy continues to repeat:
′′ I know, you’ve already told me so many times…!”
Train is about to leave and Father whispers:
′ My Son,
If you suddenly feel Bad or Scared, this is for you !…… ′
And he slips something into his Pocket.
Now the Boy was all alone, sitting on the Train, without his Parents,
for the First Time…
He looks at the Scenery through the Window.
Around him Strangers Hustle, make Noise, Enter and Exit
the Compartment,
He gets that Feeling that he was alone..
A person even gives him a
Scary look…
The Boy felt uncomfortable…
And now he was frightened also.
He lowered his head, snuggled in a corner of the Seat,
tears rose to his Eyes.
At that Point he remembered his Father putting something in his pocket.
With a trembling hand he groped this piece of paper, and he opened it,
Son, “Don’t Worry,”
I am in the Next Compartment…
*Truth* :
This is How it is in Life…
When God has sent us in this World, all by ourselves,
HE has also slipped a note in our pocket,
*God Says:*
I am Travelling with you,
I am within your reach !
Call on Me…❗
🙏
To each their own…
What matters is the…
Innocence of simplicity
In being true to being you
Simplicity of Innocence
In thoughts words and deeds
To each their own!

One World
The world is beyond what we assume
There are no labels on earth
There are no maps drawn
All that we believe is what we have created for ourselves
We may have different names
We may create different countries
We may call ourselves citizens of one land
But earth knows or cares not of your distinctions of race gender or creed
It knows not rich or poor
Nature knows not class or caste
Wonder what are we so set about ?
What makes us so full of opinions?
In fact if we only could see and a acknowledge
The earth in all its beauty
There are different seasons in different places
Yet our world is not about differences
For under the sky and sun
We are one, life is vulnerable and beautiful in all its unique ways.
When we care to see diversity as a strength
We would be more caring of our mother earth.
And we would see our earth as one and only world we have.

A Perspective of Advocacy
A mind-boggling perspective on Advocacy came my way !! 🙂
College Student Group asked a lawyer
*So what does ‘advocacy’ mean?”*
Lawyer said:
*I will present an example for this!*
*Suppose two people come to me, one is very clean and the other is very dirty. I advise both of them to get clean and take bath.*
*Now you guys tell me, who among them will take a shower ?? “*
One student said: *”The one who is dirty will take a shower.”*
The lawyer said:
*No, but the clean person will do it, because he has the habit of bathing, while the dirty does not know the importance of cleaning*
*Lawyer :: Now tell who will take a shower ?? “*
The second student said: *Clean person*
The lawyer said:
*No, but the dirty person will take a bath because he is the one who needs cleaning.*
*Now tell who will take a shower ?? “*
Two students said: *”The one who is dirty will take a shower.”*
The lawyer said:
*”No, but both will take a bath because the clean person has a habit of bathing, while the dirty one needs a bath.*
*Now tell who will take a shower ?? “*
Now three students speak together: *”Both of them will take a shower.”*
The lawyer said:
*”Wrong, no one will take a bath, because dirty is not used to bathing, whereas clean one does not need to bathe*
*Now tell who will take a shower ?? “*
A student politely said:
*”You give a different answer every time and every answer seems to be correct. How do we know the correct answer ???”*
Lawyer said:
*This is just ‘advocacy’! It is not important what the reality is*
*The important thing is, how many possible arguments can you offer to prove your point.* “😂
An Expression Of Manifestation.

Saw this photo on a Fb group share and I couldn’t help pause and wonder about this expression in manifestation.
How beautifully it has orchestrated its creation
How artfully the artistry of photography has captured this brilliance of creation.
Every where we see nature emotes in magnificent awe-inspiring ways, the wonders of creation… in the trees, be it in a little leaf , a bud, in aging bark & trunk of trees , in the cloud paintings up above in the canvas of the sky or even in the dance of the waves in the sea…🙏

One moment to the next
To stay centered in equanimity
Is to be aware of the self in this now
Are we present in the moment?
Are we staying calm to understand
Change is the only constant…
The so called high tides, give in only to recede in time.
The dunes speak of sifting sands of time
Where there were mountains there are plains today…
What seems impossible becomes possible in time.
All is meant to move on
Problems well they come and go
Nothing lasts forever
That is why life is so precious
And every moment must be well lived.
From one moment to next!

Every moment that we choose to shine as bright as we can,
We begin to sense the lightness in the being.
In sensing the blessings of light
Light reflects Light!

Waking Up To A New Day!
We are the thoughts we think,
We become believers of our ways
What we do today has always a reason.
But every dawn is full of hope
Awaken to sense its brightness
Care and accept the vividity
Allow space for light to enter.
Much changes in doing the above..
Wake up grateful for this new day!
Wake up hopeful of this new day!
