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 weakness
Threats to opportunities
Life shapes and moulds in experience
Be it desires, wants or needs
Life is a journey unto itself
Life is a circle in the living.

How To Live & Die
Iâve often thought about what it is that makes people happyâwhat one has to do in order to achieve happiness.
1- First and foremost is good health. If you do not enjoy good health, you can never be happy. Any ailment, however trivial, will deduct something from your happiness.
2- Second, a healthy bank balance. It need not run into crores, but it should be enough to provide for comforts, and there should be something to spare for recreationâeating out, going to the movies, travel and holidays in the hills or by the sea. Shortage of money can be demoralising. Living on credit or borrowing is demeaning and lowers one in oneâs own eyes.
3- Third, your own home. Rented places can never give you the comfort or security of a home that is yours for keeps. If it has garden space, all the better. Plant your own trees and flowers, see them grow and blossom, and cultivate a sense of kinship with them.
4- Fourth, an understanding companion, be it your spouse or a best friend. If you have too many misunderstandings, it robs you of your peace of mind. It is better to accept the differences than to be quarrelling all the time.
5- Fifth, stop envying those who have done better than you in lifeârisen higher, made more money, or earned more fame. Envy can be corroding; avoid comparing yourself with others.
6- Sixth, do not allow people to descend on you for gossip. By the time you get rid of them, you will feel exhausted and poisoned by their gossip-mongering.
7- Seventh, cultivate a hobby or two that will fulfill youâgardening, reading, writing, painting, playing or listening to music. Going to clubs or parties to get free drinks, or to meet celebrities, is a criminal waste of time. Itâs important to concentrate on something that keeps you occupied meaningfully.
8- Eighth, every morning and evening devote 20 minutes to meditation or introspection. In the mornings, 10 minutes should be spent in keeping the mind absolutely still, and for listing the things you have to do that day. In the evenings, five minutes should be set aside to keep the mind still and 10 to go over the tasks you had intended to do.
9- Ninth, donât lose your temper. Try not to be short-tempered, or vengeful. Even when a friend has been rude, just move on.
10- Above all, when the time comes to go, one should go like a Person without any regret or grievance against anyone.

Discipline may come from education.
But the ability to stay on path is a habit
Education may steer us to discipline.
But discipline takes dedication.
To adhere to the path on you own.
What do you think?

When what you say
And what you do
Are congruent
The effect of your words & deeds
Radiates all around you in resonance.
It’s no wonder then that
In a world that seems so dissonant
Words and deeds need to synch.
In harmony of such synchrony
Faith and trust meet belief
And that’s what makes all the difference.

Dance you heart out
Walk your worries away
Talk to lighten the load
Breathe easy
Sleep well
Take on only what you can,
Have and appreciate good memories
Express love and love yourself
Take note of the good always.
Couldn’t agree more…
To be able to let go is to live life lightly.
What about you?
Do you have anything to add to this list

Whenever I come across a heart touching action, or a prose ,a poem or quote I will be sharing it here in this series…
Some people make the world a better place by their thoughts words and deeds...
When the sport turns to a dance…
When the feet move in a rhythm
All its own, in uniqueness
Artistry is acknowledged.
An Inspiring life

See, Brazil’s under 17 footbal coach Amadeu Carlos who is “just” 76 years old.
This is called Brazilian football magicâŚ
He proves “Age is just number.”
Amazing skill, energy and stamina.
This above information is social media forward, yet when decided, I wanted to learn more about him. I found that his age is misconstrued.Yet whatever the age, age is just a number, his skill is clear to see and that’s what is beautiful to see.
Here is a (wiki ) snapshot of his life and living.
Carlos Amadeu Nascimento Lemos was a Brazilian footballer and manager who played as a left back. He represented Bahia as a player before injury curtailed his career. He went on to have a managerial career which spanned almost thirty years.
This is how he sums up his country and its relationship with their favorite sport….âIn Brazil when a child is born, the first gift for him is a ball. Our relationship with football is huge. We are a footballing nation and we like thatâ

On Teams & Leadership
When teams align in purpose
Converging energies by envisioning
Towards a a common mission.
Streamlining the processes
Strengthening the teams
With diversity & inclusion
Acknowledge a natural fear that creeps in
With every introduction or exit
Of a new or older member.
Allaying their fears is allowing
Them to fuse and alloy together
In possibilities of their potential.
True mark of leadership
Is in the evaluation and application
In guidance and course correcting
Leader paves the path ahead
Leading the way with trustfulness
Empathetic of their vulnerabilities
Replacing fear with focus to forge ahead
Meeting doubts & insecurity with clarity
Taking decisions to ensure resolutions.
For Teams need empathy and respect
To survive the storms
Both in themselves and their leader.

Night is a time of regeneration
In acknowledgement of a pause
Of the need for rest and recovery
As the day blesses us with a night
Own the time to sense the rejuvenation
Slip into bliss of sleep,
In the oblivion of darkness
That slowly descends on us all
Just be , knowing the night gives in to dawn
In a few hours more…
Be wise to unwind and unshackle.
Touch base with your soulspace
Refresh your entire being
To look forward and greet dawn again in hope

There is dance
In every leaf and flower
In every bud and bloom
In every twig and tree
In every turn and twist
Of natureâs creation.
There is the grace of uniqueness
Of wisdom beyond compare
All knowing, all pervading
To this Omnipresence âŚ
I bow in Gratitude to this Grace.đ

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.:))

WordPress says I have published 1500 posts!! Calls for a little celebration of this milestone and thankfulness in Gratitude to you my dear readers in this journey together! đđ
The Journey so far…
The simple act of writing a little everyday, penning down my thoughts and sharing with you all here, the time spent here, has been deeply rewarding in more ways than one. Yes, a moment of reckoning indeed of all those contemplative times.đ
While some of you my readers have suggested me to focus on the monentary benefits of blogging, yet a few of you have appreciated my artworks and also suggested that I must compile a book in some of the kind comments you leave, which I will cherish for a lifetime. So thank you all for encouraging & supporting me right through…
As many of you my readers already know, I diligently practice writing a post every day for over three years now…
This is beautiful canvas space of expression for myself on all the little things that come my way and touch me one way or the other
The Vision Ahead …
I believe I am now ready to explore the idea of compiling a book of my writings. So I would truly love to hear from those of you who have walked the path of publishing your books.
Yes there is a lot of information on the internet about publishing, but I think to listen to you my readers, and hear your individual and unique wisdom garnered from your own experiences in publishing a book as a fellow writer would add a relevant perspective.
And secondly if you could share your thoughts of my writings, it would help in understanding more of what you envision of me as a writer.
Would you care to write and share about what are the steps to publish a book?
And as a reader if you have been following my posts here, what genre do you think my works could do well?
It would be really nice to learn from you all.
Do share your experiences, and leave tips for the road ahead in publishing a book if any.
It would be certainly be a step ahead.

Inner peace eventually,
Leads to external peace.

The vibrant energy of joyfulness creates a feeling of enthusiasm and wellbeing.
If we can bring it upon ourself to sense joy for what is, we will find it manifests where ever we are, in one way or the other, in more ways than one.
The ability to alter our attitude towards life is directly proportional to the way we experience life.
We are what we think and our behavior is influenced by our perceptions of life and living.
If we wish we can choose to change
The way of thinking and sensing
Life evolves for the better along the way .

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.
