It is actually simpler to be yourself. There is something that each of us can do better than any other.
So its important then to listen to the inner voice and bravely obey that.

Game of Life…
Nicely penned by someone……
I watched a local football match in a school playing ground.
As I sat down, I asked one of the boys what the score was.
With a smile, he replied; they are leading us 3-0.
And I said, REALLY.
I have to say you don’t look discouraged.
“Discouraged” the boy asked with a puzzled look.
Why should I be discouraged when the referee has not blown the final whistle.
I have confidence in the team and the managers; we shall definitely overcome.
Truly, the match ended 5-4 in favor of the boy’s team.
He waved at me gently, with a beautiful smile as he left; I was amazed, mouth wide open; Such confidence; Such beautiful faith.
As I got back home that night, his question kept coming back to me –
…..
Why should I be discouraged when the referee has not blown the final whistle.
Life is like a game….
Why be discouraged, when there is still life.
Why be discouraged when your final whistle has not sounded.
The truth is that many people blow the final whistle themselves….
But as long as there is life, nothing is impossible and it is never too late for you.
Half time is not full time…..
Don’t blow the whistle yourself…..😊

Are you your own friend?
A true friend is there to support you if you fall.
Allow space for you to grow
Cheer you along the way
Take interest in your journey
Mean well for you
Stop you from self harm
Believe in you without a doubt
Yet dare to tell the truth to you.
Be with you so you are never alone.
Now think about it…
Are you your own best friend ?

Says it all.
All is in the journey of self discovery
The simple act of nourishing
The soul temples we live in…
Bringing balance, harmony
And happiness in and around us.

Train of thoughts
We are filled with countless thoughts
Every waking moment of life
Even more so when we are alone
What we do with those thoughts
Is what matters.
How dense are those thoughts
How much vividity & how much lightness….
This is what decides
The course of life itself.
Its all interconnected
Where the train of thoughts lead us.
Choose to think well.

Garden of life
The heart feels
The mind thinks
And generates a seed of thought
But the heart is all encompassing
In the core of the heart
Is the garden of life.
The heart is all pervasive
The heart is willingness
It accepts the seeds of thoughts
It colours it with emotion
Sometimes in all its vividity
In the brightest of tints
Or at times in shadowing tones
Between the dark and light of life
The heart nurtures and nourishes
Thoughts seeds to life.
In positively enriching thoughts
It empowers life to evolve .
What truly matters is..
To plant a positive seed in your heart
Allow the mind to help the heart
Discard the unwanted,
Weed out the unnecessary
Trim the excess growth
Support the saplings of goodwill
Balancing between the heart & mind
Every moment of awareness
Can change the course of life!

Waves of change.
In the journey with time
Life’s toughest battles
Always find a way.
Life goes on no matter
Paving the path
To find solutions
Along the way.
The wisdom of resilience
Is to acknowledge
The circle of life
Remember the challenges
Always surface a solution
Underneath the giant shadow of trees
Mushrooms possibilities of hope.
In difficult moments
Think of life
As ocean waves
Waltzing with the tides
Highs and lows
Are both part of the flow
Think of yourself
Realize you are
Not just in the flow
You are the flow
Sense the surge
Of empowerment
Flooding through you
In this very thought
You have it all within you
To steer through
The troubled waters
To bridge through the gaps
And find a way.
To rise above
The tumultuous waves
Always know
There is hope
In the horizon across
Light shines
Beyond the darkest night.
Change is the only constant
Like night and day
Nature shows the way.
Tumbling down
Is temporary
Flipping over
Is a fraction of a moment.
Eventually leading
To new beginning
In hope and trust.
For all is in flux
Course through
Sail through the waves
With a heart full of hope.

Crossing the Culture Threshold!
There is great power in words…
To charm another,influence or drive a point home.
Engagement online can turn better on bitter in a split second.
It is all in the choice of words used to convey a message.For there is much influence the words….such is the power of words.
Sometimes knowingly or otherwise the way we express or communicate to another by the words we may use may bring a chasm than create a bridge.
Sometimes when we see another life, as beautiful and cant curb the need to express it away, we often get caught up in our own words and unknowingly end up …
Crossing the Culture Threshold!
What to one might be just a poetic expression
To another might be a glitch of discretion.
Express if one must
Feel free to feel the way you feel is the way to feel
But only as long as anothers peace you don’t unknowingly steal.
For at times in the surging words of emotion…
Arises unnecessary stress and discomfort.
Better to know the pause in the space between our steps
And value your edges in every move.
For in every positive step in discretion
There is simply the strength of trust without mention.
When I penned these lines they were specifically for driving the message home gently that no one can tread on another’s emotional space without permission especially online using the power and persuasion of words…
True respect for another being can simply be about letting others be.

Are you too busy?
The art of giving time and attention…
Is worth mastering to have any
successful relationship.
Nothing worth having can ever be rushed.
What do you think?

Company Matters
In the journey of life
We cross many on our path
Some we travel along with
Some we let go
Some we strive to keep up with
Some we want to catch up
Some we want to be with
The company we keep, we become
While the destination takes care of itself
What makes life worth living
Are the ones who we connect with in our lives.
Good company is worth holding on to
Good friends are a gift of grace.
Gratitude for the good company

Reality Bites
Acknowledgement is a step towards improvement.
Realizing the effects and the cause is relevant to change.
Our world is a gift we have in life
We are interweaved in this tapestry of life and living.
And we are strengthened in the interconnects in between.
Yet we have distanced ourselves
The advancements create gadgets of convenience
But humane care and connection is distanced
We behave as if we are entities self centric without consideration
Humanity in humans is deeply affected
But we are yet to understand
The consequences our actions
Truth is reality bites.
Yet hope is here to stay.

On Acceptance
The Road to Acceptance has many challenges in the learnings… not often easy, but certainly transforming in one way or the other.
Like there are many aspects to understanding
In acceptance there are many perspectives
Acceptance is not giving up or being in the same place.
To me a practice of 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.
The Paradox of acceptance is being defenseless to yin and yangs of life and living. 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.

Making peace with the now
On letting go ….
Making peace with the now,
Very easy, they say.
Follow the breath,
And peace flows.
Yet…
We all know
That it is quite a task
To be consistent.
That’s how life is!
Such is truth in itself
In this now
As every moment
Gives in to the new.
We are meant to be,
To learn and unlearn.
Our senses,
Our emotions
Challenge us in the changes.
Our system takes a toll;
Our beliefs turn around
In soul searching ways…
And then, we learn to see
The moment as it presents itself.
All judgements and assumptions,
All prejudices and preconceived notions
Fade away into the oblivion.
We live in this moment.
In engagement again
But with this now,
Without forgetting what has gone
But forgiving times bygone.
For only then, we make space,
For peace to flow in…
Savvy
Giving meaning to life
Life and living…
Every life has a purpose all its own.
Life is what you make of it.
Make it memorable
Make it meaningful
Live to sense the magic of life.

Breathe in Peace
Own your breath
Inhale the good
Let go the spurious
Anything that never matters
Is bound to bounce off.
What is necessary receive
With atmost regard.
Your breathe holds the key
Unlock the healing potential
As you breathe deeper
With all of your awareness
In every inhale and exhale.
Breathe in peace.
