Shine on

Shine your light

The light of you

That comes through you

Your voice your truth

Your speech your words

Your work your authenticity

Your moves your way

Step into your light

Step into your place

Fill it with all of you

For none can fill this space

There is no other like you

For you are unique.

In your own way

Shine on.

Seeing light

Your yesterday may have seemed very tough
Your entire body may have taken a toll
Your head and heart may have felt heavy
Your eyes may have welled up in tears
Your emotions choking you
Your breathing may have been constricted
Your muscles may have felt tight. Your steps laboured and dragging
Perhaps a sense of resignment may have reigned all through the day…


Yes it may have been more than you could handle
But handle you did
For you are alive and kicking.
Today your heart is lighter
And you are breathing easy
With a song on your lips
And a dance in your steps
Your body willing
And in enthusiastic spirit Looking forward to another day
To put in your very best
And make it another great day!

The question is then, what is  happening in you, one moment to another
And what are you doing to alter the effects of the moment.
And what actually alters everything.
Simply put, your own thoughts
And the power of your choice
Choosing one thought over the other.

Trust life to show many colours every day but know you have the choice in how you choose see and perceive it.

Every day can be good or bad day…
But it’s in the way you chose see it… That changes the day!

Power of Belief

What do you think you deserve?

The answer paves the way

To bring it to your life.

As you intend

You believe.

As you believe

You intend.

You manifest your intentions.

The universe gives you,

As you think and intend.

Your thoughts matter.

Believe well.

Think well intend well.

For it matters more than you know.

The Parodox of Beauty 2

Beauty is what beauty feels

Continuing in a series on Life and Living … The subject of Beauty brings to mind its paradox As mentioned in my last article I would like to reflect on this with my readers and fellow writers and work in collaboration towards a certain consensus if attainable .

Here is a beautiful reflection of the thoughts of this reader who starts by visualizing in the vebalisation of the beauty in the elemental awareness of nature and culminates her standpoint in the beauty of nurture…

Of a mother and child and the beauty in a loving heart.

Thank you to my dear mother Anjana for your exemplary examples. Rest assured I certainly will be reading these lines often.

“Anything that pleases the eye is beautiful..How much exquisite or breath-taking the physical beauty may be… it’s just skin deep. Beyond that all is same.

A wise soul has this awareness. Though the elements may be the same, their arrangement makes the difference. But there is beauty in the wilderness too.

The dancing flames of fire, the eruptive flowing and glowing lava of the volcono, the blowing sand making patterns on the sands of deserts, the mystery that lies in the underground caves, in the depths of the oceans, in the vast space that surround us , there is beauty in everything. A thing of beauty is a joy for ever.

Above all beauty has a connection with love in the heart. Even the so assumed ugliest child looks beautiful to it’s mother. After all beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. Can anything be more beautiful than a compassionate and kind heart that sees goodness in all.”

The lines above have an sensitive emotive and reflective quality which is engagingly beautiful to me.

Cont’d…

Pathways to light

Sabhar The way of patience in waiting

Shukar The way of thankfulness in gratitude

There is great wisdom in these two ways to live life lovingly.
Both are pathways in the ebb and flow of life.

To see from nothingness
Is to see possibilities ahead.
To keep hope alive in your heart. Cultivate faith in patience and trust.

To sense gratitude even when you have everything, Is to know that there is much more than what is visible. You are a tiny speck of the magnificent whole. And no life is less or more important. And that every life plays a significant part.

In awareness there is heartfelt thankfulness in contentment for everything you already have.

As you cultivate these habits every day becomes incrementally  better.
Or perhaps you begin to understand gradually, the power of managing change rests within you.
Stay patient
Trust yourself.
In thankfulness
See the light
You actually are.

Tapping into Creativity

An artist may give a shape to thoughts, its destiny is the result of the bubbles of thoughts in the connected flow.

Creativity is in each of us. We are blessed with much we are yet to understand.

Often we neglect the creative side in each of us and don’t find ourselves expressing it away, but tapping into it can open portals of yet unknown possibilities in each of us. And most of all gives us the courage to explore and embrace the unknown.

A dot called now

Sharing Words of wisdom … from my mother Anjana Radha… A beautiful thought for the day 🙂

‘The “Now” is a dot. in the line – of life. Without touching the dot we cannot connect the past to the future. Just Be in the Now to witness a beautiful connection.The NOW is always present . Like so many dots form a line so many’ Now’s shape life to a beautiful past and a hopeful future. Our conscious awareness gives it meaning and purpose.’
Enjoy the moment:)

Handling Difficult People

Every one faces difficult people in their lives. And for some like service sectors, coaches, consultants and medics, their job has many moments of handling difficult people and tricky situations as well.

There are many types of difficult people

Like the pessimistic ones who always find what won’t work first for anything new. They have nothing positive to say or share. But always play the devils advocate.

Handling them can be extremely difficult in front of a team full of people but it is wise to acknowledge them and then reframe their perspectives with a positive positioning and interpretation to turn it around carefully.

Interestingly there are a lot many in the know it all category, with an attitude & arrogance of knowledge & experience to boot.

An effective way to tackle would be to appreciate them but ask them to share the data and facts associated with what they proclaim to ensure authenticity. It is also challenging but necessary to request for humility in these peer to peer conversations.

There are then those who are two sided who say nothing to your face but are habitual complainers. There is a need to understand the origin of of their doubts and worries and where they are coming from in order to work it out thereby creating a safe and secure atmosphere.

“Think of difficult people as
sandpaper
They may rub you and scratch
you painfully but eventually
you end up smooth and the
sandpaper worn out… stay
happy and enjoy life…”
raymund salumbides

Difficult  people are difficult to handle. But it’s not impossible or something to shy away from. Simply the handling needs discernment and care. And not everyone can handle difficult people. Tact, diplomacy, confidence, clarity of purpose and vision  go a long way in handing difficult people and problems.

A Great Leader Knows…

Great leaders know…
It’s about listening, observing identifying and then empowering & developing middle managers to be great leaders of tommorow.

It’s about rewarding people for the right reasons.
And understanding what gets people to work together.

And then creating and sustainable atmosphere for them to work well together.

It’s about finding time to understand the context of what is. And being able to not only envision the big picture but also project it with authenticity and powerfully so.

For in the many small moments of the day there appears many random tests for a leader.

Leadership is not about making everyone like each other. But about making them understand that it takes all of them to be a consistent and collaborative team players.

And most of all getting every one knowing why they are there and clarifying in simple words what the organization is trying to do.

There is a beautiful saying that goes…’ It’s not about having a team of stars
But about having a star team’

And great leaders create star teams…

Soul wisdom

Life is an expression of the soul…


The soul goes through life


Like a rough diamond that gets polished

The body & mind take a toll


Many times over in a lifetime.


To shine like a diamond does.


In the shaping & moulding


Through the experiences


Garnering wisdom in the living.

Walk in light

Why walk in shadows of dark
When light  is just around the bend.

Walk in light
If you can’t see the light
Find the light in you.

Trust your inner light to show you the way.
Love the light that you actually are!
