Life is what you make of it!
It can be the way you choose it to be!
It is a reflection of your state of being.
Life is heaven or hell in this now
Truly beautiful or unbearable
All in the how you want to see it.
It’s not about perfection
For nobody’s perfect
Life & living can be perfectly Imperfect
Seek excellence if you must
Seek to be the best version of you!
And find the wonderful in today!

This is the story of Cara Khan whose sense of spirit & adventure made her dare the seemingly impossible …
Cara E. Yar Khan is an international human rights advocate promoting the inclusion of people with disabilities within all facets of society.
Thank you my dear friend Ali Anani, for it was you who shared the above Ted talk link and suggested I share a few thoughts on her.
I dedicate these following verses to her daring spirit and dancing soul!
Life is
Inexplicable uncertainty in the now
Undefinable strength in the moment
Unimaginable challenges that arise
Infinite possibilities in the potential
Unstoppable hope in the living
Be it in strength or inspite of weakness
No matter the threats or unexpected opportunities
Life shapes and moulds in experience
Be it the desires, wants or needs
Life is a journey unto itself
Life is a circle in the living.
In salute to the very courageous Cara E. Yar Khan
Her inspirational life story is an epitome of the magic of living a bigger bolder and yet a purpose driven life,
In her I see the verve, and enthusiasm in pursuit of her Passions
and her drive towards her Purpose
as much as the Perseverance to attain it.
And when these 3 Ps combine, success is bound to manifest itself.
What matters is that she ignored what was preposterous and dared to dream.
Ignore the naysayers
You have one life
Live it well
Give it the best you have got!
Keep the faith in trust and self belief
Let go of illusions of less in assumptions
You have everything you need within you
In daring beyond doubts &fear
Living life lovingly!
Truly nothing is insurmountable
There is in you, the power
That manifests when you need it most
You may not know the strength
And capabilities that you are carrying.
But it is always there with you
Simply trust in yourself
To be there for you!
You are more than enough for you!

Take a deep breath
To truly be able…
To Breathe in ease
feel the peace deep within.
Take not this breath for granted
Know the gift of grace in every breath.
Inhale and exhale
Sensing Gratitude in every breath

Imagination begins with thoughts
There is great power in imagination
Imagination can heal or hurt
Stemming from infinite abundance.
Imagination draws from nature & nurture.
In thinking out of the box
Raw & unstructured or uncontrollable
Resulting in unexpected creativity
Exploring potential possibilities.
Thoughts in a flow, forming patterns
Shapes moulding within a structure
Meandering like a river
Or bursting like a volcano
Uncontrollable & quite unexpectedly
Often chaotic and welling up the feelings.
Imagination seeks to find its own path
Much of imagination is forgotten soon
Or gets lost in translation.
When imagination is reinforced
In strength of inate potential of being
There is hope for inspirational creativity
When imagination is reigned
In fear and ridicule
There is chance of darkness of morbidity
Creating doubts and uncertainties.
Your Imagination is who you are
Imagination manifests through you
Yet in steering imagination
Creativity is born.
The source of thoughts arise from within
You have the choice to steer the course
In mindfulness the path of imagination
Can be witnessed and channeled.
The journey of imagination
Take you places you have never been.
Betwixt & beyond the illusions & reality
Through dimensions of time & space
To the quantum truths of your being
In expressing, exchanging imagination..
Innovations are possible.
The magic is all in the imagination
What matters is where you want to go!

A Sufi Tale:
A merchant from Baghdad entered a Sufi’s shop, which had essence jars on the shelves.
Marveling at the beauty of the place, he asked, “Sir, what is sold here?”
The Sufi replied, “The gifts of God”.
The merchant was surprised with the answer, & asked, “And how much do they cost?”
“Nothing, here all is for free”, said the Sufi, observing carefully, that the traveller could see the labels: “Jugs of Love”; “Jars of Faith”; “Packages of Hope”.
The merchant said, “A big jug of love, all the packages of hope & three jars of faith for me, my friends & my family”.
The Sufi carefully prepared the order & handed him a small box.
Surprised, the merchant exclaimed, “But, but…. how can everything I have asked for, be in this tiny box?”
Smiling, the Sufi replied, “In God’s store, we do not sell fruits, only seeds. You have to sow them.
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Ultimately it all about finding time
For a…
A little laughter to keep you light
A little kindness along the way
A little walk for your good health
A little whiff of fragrance divine
A little tune to hum through the day
A little step to carry it through
A little tap down the memory lane
All to align you to your happiest self

Simple can be profoundly impactful
For in the very complexity of the matter
Resides clarity of the simplicity.
Simplifying the truth of purpose
In easily understandable ways.
Simplify thoughts, simplify life.:))

Sometimes the simple act of noticing something good can make all the difference…
Trust there is always more
Than what your eyes can see
In the sensing and the knowing
The yet undiscovered good manifests
Right before you for you to notice.
Savvy
When you begin to see the good
Life begins to feel good
What seems difficult is easier to bear
The burden seems to ease
As the way you perceive
Changes the equation
Colours seems to shine better
Moments begin to matter
Life seems to be more enjoyable
And every day begins & end better.
Keep seeing and sharing the good
There is so much of it after all!

Beautiful words
Written by
Sophia Loren (Actress)…
_” When I got enough confidence, the stage was gone….. When I was sure of Losing, I won……. When I needed People the most, they Left me……. When I learnt to dry my Tears, I found a shoulder to Cry on…… When I mastered the Skill of Hating, Someone started Loving me from the core of the Heart…… And, while waiting for Light for Hours when I fell asleep, the Sun came out….. That’s LIFE!! No matter what you Plan, you never know what Life has Planned for you…… Success introduces you to the World……. But Failure introduces the World to you……. ……Always be Happy!! Often when we lose Hope and think this is the end… God smiles from above and says, “Relax Sweetheart; It’s just a Bend, not the End..!”_
Worthy reminder indeed!
Worth taking a moment to be inspired by the truth of life and living in her words.
Here is another recent share about her …
Sophia Loren is returning to cinema after an 11-year absence. Loren, 86 stars in upcoming Netflix drama The Life Ahead, which is directed by her son, Edoardo Ponti.
At age 83, Oscar winner, Sophia Loren remains the epitome of la Dolce Vita and glamour. Although recognized as one of the most beautiful woman in the world, the Italian Icon is equivalently known as the woman who dared to challenge traditional conventions of beauty in the 1950’s.

Positively speaking.
Whether it is today, in these times of uncertainty or other… a positive approach to life and living is deeply rewarding.
This is indeed wonderful as an attitude to cultivate towards living life. Being positively enriching & encouraging is truly the best way to help make a difference.
But the trick is in fine balancing the emotions that manifest along the way.
Embodied Practice of Empathy
When you practice sharing positive vibes consistently, you are putting a lot of hope and faith out in the world.
Yet you need to be empathic to yourself, care to understand your own emotions as well, by accepting and acknowledging them, without getting embroiled in them .
Make sure to acknowledge what is happening with your own life.
Speak from the heart.
All that is happening in the world today can be disheartening . So when you are out, sharing positive vibes make sure that you are internalizing them too. Sustaining a spirit of hopefulness is the key driver for a positive mindset . The world needs doses of positive attitude in thoughts words and deeds.
Authenticity of Attitude.
Making sure to feel from your own heart before you share these words of hope is a worthy practice to adopt.
Whatever said or written,words are mere words But when you begin to respect and respond to the emotions sensed in the feelings that arise you begin to see the world in its most vulnerable state.
When heart speaks the world hums along…
Savvy
There is always a reason
Nothing is accidental
There is always purpose of being.
Let the purpose become bigger
At every step of the way
Remember you are creating ripples
That are expanding your purpose
Of living , of being who you are.
As you are meant to be.
In the infinite abundance of being.
