Being Human

To all those who seek perfection in every  little thing that they sometimes drive themselves and others crazy.
Ease in and let go for a bit,  see others as they are , not as you want them to be.
We are all vulnerable beings.
We are humans after all, let us be supportive and celebrate  the power of  humanity to overcome challenges that appear along  the way.
We are powerful in  acknowledging our respective situation  from where we are and working amicably towards  finding resolutions.
After all besides every thing else,the world needs humanity  to overcome  the challenges of being human.

A leap of faith.

A leap of faith Is what makes life a life.
Take the chances
That you choose to let go.                Be intentional
So that life doesn slip away.

Take the chance

May be they turn out the best decision of your life.

They say opportunity does not knock twice..

So take a leap of faith.

So when you hear the calling of your heart & soul..

Trust you can and you can!

Chase not the bird

Attachment  is the root cause of suffering.

If love is a bird

And the bird has chosen to fly

Chase not the bird

For the bird has already flown

When you encounter a love

That chooses to fly

Chase not that love

For it has left your presence 

Detach yourself from it

And let it fly

And thank the bird

For the change that it brought…

It was meant for you

To clear space in and around you

To grow and evolve

And transform yourself.

For the better.

Then & Now

Then and now

Then I had manicured hands

Fingers always maintained

With perfectly painted nails đź’…

Now I like them as they are

Functional and neatly cut.

Then I wore high heels

To make me feel more stylish

Now I have a style I call my own

High heels I no longer need or buy.

Then I was yet to experience life

Too sensitive to a fault…

Now I have come of my own

Upholding my health over stressors

Emboldened enough to stand by me.

And today, another solar cycle older

Wiser or not is left for you to say,

But this I know from living

Half way and more in life.

No matter the then & now

What is, is what matters.

In you, is what you need.

Life is what you make of it.

Every now is precious enough  to fill it with gratitude.

Truths & facades

There is much going on behind a smile or a tear

As much as there is behind an act of aggression or care.

Truths that lie just over the bend

Masked in a show of strength

A veil may cover the apparent

But the body never lies.

It leaves imprints of expression

In every moment of now .

Truths that cannot be shared

Truths that needs to be dared

The body wisdom takes over

To make it through

To the truths over the facades.

Learnings

Learning never ends

It grows new pathways

Awaiting your awareness

Discover the joy of learning

You will find your purpose.

Acknowledge

As humans we are always exploring and discovering  possibilities. Sometimes we understand  much in no time, and take the right steps, and at other times we mis the bus.

Acknowledge the wins  & the  misses.

Every step missed is brimming with a lesson.

If we choose to pay attention every failure teaches us something.

On where we want to be,

On how far we are, from where we want to go.

Question is are we ready to acknowledge  failure as  a part of the learning process?

Every success  can be attributed  to the  many experiences that may have had many lessons  and the effort taken to succeed. 

And if there is propensity  and determination to take the effort, there are many pathways  that lead us beyond failure. 

I like this saying by Mary Ash, I came across  recently which presents a fresh perspective on failure.

‘For every failure, there’s an alternative course of action. You just have to find it. When you come to a roadblock, take a detour.’

Acknowledge where and how you are.

You will find your own path.

So you are angry?

So you are angry?

Now what?

Do you think it is helping you ?

For anger never helps

It only hurts .

Here are six things you can do for balancing your emotions and feeling better.

1.Become Aware that you are reacting than responding  in your anger is the first step

2.Counting backwards  from 20 to 1.

3. Removing yourself from the place you are feeling angry even for a short while by going for a short walk helps settle your emotions.

4. Switch words is a technique to use feeling oriented words to  create powerful change of emotions with imagery to manage anger.

For example a positive word like Happy can evoke different  feelings.

Or words like ‘take it easy ‘can  evoke a sense of ease.

5. Better still  is taking to chanting mantras, or hearing your favorite upbeat music , or even Journaling. 

6. If nothing else imagining ocean tides in a flow and breathing deeply, in and out  even for a few minutes eases the tense body & mind.

Remember  to acknowledge  your emotions  as there is more harm in suppression. As you find healthy  pathways to manage your anger, you bring wellbeing  into your life

Live life lovinglyđź’™

Gifts of Life

Life pans out uniquely  each day for us.

And yet every life has its ups & downs

It is how we see it

That makes us who we are.

In the journey of life

Life supports and encourages us

By offering many visible and hidden

Gifts along our paths.

Recognize  and value them

For they are meant for us.

It is up to us to become aware of it

For us to sense & know…

And most of all

Every life is a gift

Value the life

You have.

A calmer perspective

I have received this poem below through a  social media forward.

And I think I needed to read it today.

It put many things in perspective.

You see, there have been some small and inexpensive things missing at home . We have two house helpers And I was not sure who is the culprit. 

They have been with us for a while and I have senior parents who live at home  so I was letting it go and keep calm,  because it was easier as it was causing a lot of unnecessary confusion and doubt.

In the meantime two months ago I replaced one of them.  And I had felt a sense of relief somehow. And today the other is about to go  on  leave for the customary annual holiday.  It will mean a lot of work for me  personally until I find a helper. Yet I have been feeling positive that better is happening and all is for a good reason.  Sometimes we grin and bear for the fear of changing statesquo…

While I cannot get my lost things as I have no proof, I think I needed a calm perspective to  help me find me a way…

While I do believe that we must take action on that which is within our control , these words touched a chord in me..

This being human is a guest house.

Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,

some momentary awareness comes

as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!

Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,

who violently sweep your house

empty of its furniture,

still, treat each guest honorably.

He may be clearing you out

for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice.

Meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.

Be grateful for whatever comes.

Because each has been sent

as a guide from beyond.

— Rumi
