Every bit matters

Every bit of sharing
Every bit of appreciation
Every bit of encouragement
Every bit of understanding
Every bit of inclusion
Every bit of validation
Matters a great deal
To some one somewhere
Nurturing hopefulness in living
Nourishing the nature of life.

Awaken

Wake up from slumber

To a brand new start.

Know within you is a power

Waiting to unfold

Let the pathway manifest

To an empowering you.

Evolve as you awaken.

Nature nurtures

Watching this papaya tree grow in our garden gives me great joy. Nature has so much wisdom to offer if we take time to reflect on it.
Love how the tiny little shoots are protected and nurtured by an umbrella of more mature leaves until they are ready to face the sun on their own…

Live the now

A bloom from my terrace garden

It’s important to evolve for the better

But even more important to enjoy the now as you are…and love yourself too!

Choose to live life lovingly!

Hope is here to stay!

Truly life is how you live it.

Your attitude your thoughts matter.

It truly is starkly different

The way we feel dark and dense in scarcity consciousness

The way we feel lightness of being in sensing abundance.

From ashes, to rising like a phoenix,

The power of hope changes destiny.


Limitless is the power of positive thoughts.

Thoughts of abundance opens up ways to explore more.
In moments of despair, it truly is about flipping the script in our heads to sense possibilities in the limitless potential.

Unending is the power of hope.
After all…
Day unto night
Dark unto light. 
Hope is here to stay!

Find Yourself

Be so engaged with your life that you take all of you in whatever you do!

Find yourself!

How involved are you in life?

In your passion?

In your engagement?

In your purpose?

In your life’s moments?

What is it that makes you go on

Taking all of you

Into whatever you do?

Perhaps…

You have an answer within

You are already on your path!

Creating anything worth having

Can take all of you

To be involved to be engaged

With a purpose that drives you…

Beyond yourself!

And you find yourself!

What truly matters?

What is the highest form of sportsmanship in a race? Runner #Ivan showed the world.

Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was a few meters away from the finish line but got confused by the track markings and thought he had completed the race. Spanish-speaking Ivan Fernandez was running behind him and realized that Abel was confused. Ivan started shouting at Abel to continue running, but Abel didn’t understand Spanish. Realizing that Abel didn’t understand, Fernandez pushed him towards the finish line.

A reporter who witnessed this asked Ivan, “Why did you do this?” Ivan replied, “My dream is that one day we can have a society where we push and help each other to win.”

The reporter pressed on, “But why did you let Kenya win?”

Ivan replied, “I didn’t let him win; he was going to win. The race was his.”

The reporter insisted, “But you could have won!”

Ivan looked at the reporter and said, “But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor of this medal? What would my mother think of it?”

Values are passed from generation to generation. What values are we teaching our children? How much do we encourage others?

Most of us use others’ weaknesses to our advantage instead of helping them overcome those weaknesses. Ivan is a perfect example of how wrong this is.

How many of us align with Ivan’s actions?


In school and college life, when discussing competition, our son often asked questions like Ivan’s. Today, we learned a valuable lesson from an Olympic runner for our son’s questions.

Thank you, Ivan…

Thanks to Vignesh Janarthanan’s Facebook post

A wonderful share to motivate  good values & goodwill in action.

Coaching Challenges

Balancing power play

In a group setting as a life coach it is important to balance power dynamics.

It is important to create a space of mutual respect and understanding.

Being inclusive creates an expansion of thoughts and ideas in openness tolerance and acceptance of new possibilities.

In a group setting it is important to hold space by  balancing  participation through inclusive ways like encouragement appreciation and rewarding contributions. This ensures the power dynamics are kept in check by empathic  approach and moderation by allowing space for all to speak up,  so as to prevent   lopsided conversations.

Have you had  any such  experience as a team member ?

Do share  your experiences of power dynamics at play in group setting.

Lead with empathy

Empathy  & Leadership

Empathic leaders find it easier to understand the challenges of their teams but they also need to be empathic to themselves to avoid burnout and manage their lives.

Stress Management for Leaders

If you are feeling stress beyond a level you can handle as a leader  you need to introspect.

There could be many factors that build up the stress often without your own knowing. It can happen to anyone after all we are only human. And it would be good to acknowledge the importance of work life balance and self care.

Are you biting more than you can chew? To manage work stress as a leader, while delegating work check, if you are delegating tasks with clarity to the team.

Are you approachable and exercising  patience in communication?

Are you checking if they have understood your requirements?

Are your mails, messages and your  attitude,  building people up?

Remember the way you chose to behave rubs off on people. While it’s only human to err  and there could be good & bad days, being  a leader  is a responsiblity. For you have the power to influence and impact lives. 

Likewise your actions  beliefs and behaviour can affect your own health.  Hence managing your own stressors empathically become paramount as a leader to get work done.

Every now and then tweaking your own approach, to the changing needs, being flexible and  adaptable helps you and your team towards reducing  work stress.

On guard

A barking dog seldom bites
A silent one has propensity.
Watch out for the signs
Too quiet or too willing…
Both are signs not to be ignored.

Who are very quiet and a little too willing to let you have your way should never be taken lightly.

For there is always more than what meets the eye.

Life is what you make of it!

The very fact you are reading this

May change your perspective

All of what you interact or sense

Shifts and alters meanings.

You, as a reader & observer

Have the power in you.

You, matter to the whole

What matters to you

Matters to the whole.

Create a beautiful you,

You create a beautiful whole…

Here is why…

The core of particle physics

The truths of sacred geometry

The essence of prayer

The  logics of yogic systems

The dynamics of integration

The beliefs of ancient wisdom.

The cosmic interconnects

Creation to destruction

Birth to regeneration

Order to disorder

Chaos to resurrection

Stillness & movements

Balance & harmony

Time , space & distance

All is a matter of energy.

The observer effects the observed.

All of life, the sun & the stars

The universe you are in

You are because they are

They are because you are.

Understand as an observer

You are playing a part

What you do with it

Is a choice in free will

The choice is with you.

You

No one but you

Knows your true self

Empower your self

Create your life

Being yourself.

Be kinder, be connected

With yourself.

Allow to express your self.

Your truths in your voice

Makes you feel heard

Your voice with your words

Makes you understand

You are more than enough

To sense the light in you

Find out for yourself

With all of you

Who you truly are.
