Creative Journey

Photo by Meruyert Gonullu on Pexels.com

Creativity thrves in an open minded approach with an ability to trust and try.


To take a chance is to take a step into the unexplored unknown dimensions of potential possibilities.

The creative spirit is replenished in such an atmosphere.The forays into the unknown can be a pure game of chance.

A dare unto beyond that may or may not pay rich dividends. But in those trials and tribulations a creative soul is nurtured. And new paths are created to journey on!

It’s about…

A share of profound thoughts from my mother

Life lessons

It is not about what we are having or doing.
It is about how we are feeling.
It is about how we make others feel.

It is not about where or how we are staying
It is about with whom we are staying.

It is not about where and what we have studied.
It is about what we are speaking.
It is about the tone of our talking.

It is not about the form or attire we are wearing.
It is about the approach n attitude we are having.

We live not with the luxuries of life
But with the state of our mind , our constant companion.

One word, or one stare has the power to change the whole state of mind, irrespective of the surrounding.
Being aware n having the right attitude in this ever changing life and making them Positive ones is within one’s reach.

All it needs is the effort to make even the harsh moments to consoling & soothing moments with the right words n approach.

Yes. It needs a lot of training n conditioning to change the mind set, to walk the right path.
Yet it is worth trying as it brings peace n happiness to self & others.

Ultimately it is what we all are seeking. Right?

Nature finds its way

We are what we are
With the possibilities for evolution
Inside us all.
And yet each arrives at their own time
To the journey meant for them
To carve a path that they are meant to.
Life never claims to be fair
Life is as is
It is within us to know
What to hold on to hone, or set free
For nature is always in flow
And true nature always finds its way.

It will feel just right…

There is always hope

For things to get better

There is always tommorow

Another day full of promise

Keep the faith and trust

It will feel just right.

Acknowledgement

How to see the good

When bad is doing the round

To bring the good in focus

Perhaps you need to search

For it in their way of being

In the visible & hidden nature

There is much that happens

In the circumstances

And much that goes invisible

For it cannot be expressed

For it is seen as a weakness

To be vulnerable

To be sensitive & emote

Are qualities that are negated

For it makes ones life difficult

But life has many shades

The very weakness for one

Can be a strength for another

It’s all in the way we see it.

Every life is precious

With many gifts of nature

It is in us to acknowledge.

Power of a Moment

Everything starts from a decisive moment…

Decision is often the difference between greatness and mediocrity. In every man’s life there comes a time when he must search for a cause, a work, an ideal to which he can give himself. Whether he says β€˜Yes’ or β€˜No’ to the challenge will determine his future.”

Wilferd Peterson

A great motivational quote.

It opens up a few relevant questions on decisions and decision making.

How decisive are you about your life?

Do you take your decisions seriously?

Or do often you let/ want others take decisions for you.

Do you take time to make decisions?

Do you stand for your decisions and do your decisions stand the test of time?

There are different decision making styles based on how a problem is perceived.

A good decision begins with begins with identification and envisioning of the goal ,

Secondly it is important to collect all information so that you can weigh options and alternatives.

Next it is paramount to consider the consequences of the decision before taking the decision.

Once a decision is taken is necessary to be able to evaluate the decisions in time.

Worth thinking of how much a good decision in a moment has power of change life.

Trustful ways

In any organization
When leadership listens
Empathy is nurtured
Safe space is created
ConversationsΒ  connect
Teams bond in trustfulness
Productivity rises
In balanced motivation
Both intrinsicΒ  & external
Work becomes less dense
In collaboration & cooperation
Valuing diversity of potential
Possibilities are explored
Challenges gets simplified
Structure becomes systems
Protocols are in place
Change is acknowledged
In faith goodwill and trust
That we are stronger together
There is unity in diversity
As respect becomes culture.
Trust becomes the way.

Life is in this cup of now

How do you fill your cup of life?

How often?

What makes you happy?

Filling the cup of life cannot happen

Without making space to enjoy life’s moments

Let the cup of life overflow

In the sharing of joy

The cup of Now:

Create space in your cup of time

For solitude and reflections

Allow yourself to make sense

Of moments without overwhelm.

Take a moment to pause…

And begin to enjoy the sip of this cup in this now.

For life is in this cup of now.

The Way Of Love



It’s the way of love to accept and allow
It’s the way of love to empower with hope
It’s the way of love to sense pain and pleasure.
It’s the way of love to share from the heart.
It’s the way of love to shine through a smiling heart
For love is the gift of life.
And it’s the way of love to be filled with gratitude

Valuing Family

In every relationship

Family, friendship or at work

All is a matter of values

We inculcate through life.

https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7045730457279221760?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_android

When it all starts from respect

And ends with respect.

There is dignity of being

In a world distanced in reality

By technology and internet

Increasing the screentimes

And enslaving people

There is much need

To use it to our advantage

Than be redundant with it.

Nature’s Wisdom

This tree is uniquely shaped  and there is always a reason to be…

There is much in the pattern.
With angles that self-balance.
Supported in the shaping.
To survive the storm.
Swaying in the wind.
So full of spaces in between
To evolve and to grow.
With confidence of connection
Rooted in a solid foundation.
The tree find its own flow
Paving the pathway 
Manifesting  its uniqueness.
It finds its purpose of being.

Likewise to an organization
That grows steadfast in trust
In strength of the structure.
Spreading its wings in faith

For when the roots are strong
And potential is nurtured
In valuing the roots
In acceptance of the new…      There is freedom to expand.
With fresh perspective at play
Every leader owns an angle towards sustainability.
Great leaders may pitch great angles of perspective.
But a great team is formed by great people.
Like every living part of a tree is significant to the whole tree.
Every individual is valuable to the organization.
Every perspective matters to the cohesive whole.

A great read by my friend Ali Anani prompted me to write this post.

So much wisdom from nature in every form if we choose to see.

It’s possible

Infinite potential

Infinite possibilities

In every breath

Inhale inspiration

Exhale the spurious

Trust the power of the infinite

Possibilities in every now.
