The day we learn to be light and live in lightness and not take things so seriously, we start truly living.
After all the sun will rise and set in its own course, life will flow in the river of time, why not think of living it cruising along knowing nothing lasts forever.
Whenever life feels a little too weary..
Know tomorrow is another day
And there is always a sun awaiting to shine…

Sharing a beautiful story that I came across. ❤️
There is a Cobbler who sits across the street in front of my Office Building.
Every day, I see that there is a stray dog who comes and sits with him as soon as he arrives at the place, and he feeds him biscuits and some times milk.
The man gets busy in his work, while the dog sits there and gives him company.
One can feel that there is a unknown connection between them, they have conversation without a word being spoken.
He also brings food for birds, which he keeps at different places on the street pavement where he sits for his work.
Many people stop by and ask him for directions, he always guides them with a smile. Even if he doesn’t get any business from them.
If he sees a homeless person going by, he offers them water and food that he has brought for himself and engages in conversations with them.
One can see and feel the peace, the conversations bring to them.
I felt to go and meet him today.
He smiled at me and said his name is Dayaram, and asked me if I would like to have tea?
Pleasantly surprised, I said, “Sure, let’s have some tea.”
Here is a man who would be struggling to make ₹ 200-300 a day, out of which he would be spending around ₹ 12 – Rs.15 on the food that he brings for the dog and the birds, and the two cups of tea would cost him another ₹ 20.
He being rich in his own way, smiles radiantly, and his calm, effortless, abundant state of being is infectious.
I told him that I have been observing him, what he does, and that I am humbled and fascinated by it.
We continue talking, and I refer to the dog, and he says “Oh! he’s just one of us – God’s Own Creation”.
Talk about non-duality!
He goes on to say that “I am not serving… it is He who is making it happen via this person. It would be egoistic to say that ‘I’ am doing it!”
I fold my hands and bow to him, and request him to accept some money, saying, “It is not I, who is giving you this money, it is He who is sending it to you via myself.”
We laugh and he obliges me by accepting it.
As I am about to leave, he says:
“Maango Ussi se, Baanto khushi se, Kaho na kissi se”
माँगो उसी से, बाँटो ख़ुशी से, कहो ना किसी से
(Ask from Him, but then don’t just accumulate it – give it away to others with happiness and gratitude, and do it silently!)
The cobbler who mends shoes, mended my soul today
All the good in the world
Flows in to your life
In a simple act of making space
For positive intentions
By subtracting the negatives
In mindful awareness
And consistent practice…
Life begins to shift for the better.
Make a positive intention now!

Wisdom of Patience
Patience awaits
In faith and belief
Patience is understanding
For patience hones itself
For the suitable moments.
Patience is non-judgmental
Patience bears the burden
Of the moments
Knowing the power of time.
Patience is resilience in action
Patience is strength of the spirit
Patience speaks volumes of the soul
Without a word or deed.
Such is the wisdom of Patience
For much is resolved in patience.
A true Companion for Wisdom is Patience and a lot of life’s so called situations which need solutions can be resolved by thinking differently !
Ability to cultivate patience is an art…
To know all happens for a reason.

To dare as much as to retreat
In the ebb and flow of life
Waves teaches us much!
To reach the pinnacle of success
Is one thing
But truth of nature is, it changes.
So the glory must recede in humility
Such is the way of balance.
There is no gain the holding on
There is grace in the letting go!
Such is the circle of life .

Energy is where attention is!
Being aware of the present moment
Entails mindfulness in practice
Of the choices you make or take
Making sense of the choices
You make in every now…
In priority and attention
Of what is happening
In and around you
There is clarity in the now.
The ability to dedicate time &, attention in any given task , or relationship can be the denoter of its success.
Make sure to be truly where you are!

To trust the team to do better,
Give them confidence that…
They can trust you
They can take the step
They can be creative
They can try options
They can make mistakes
They can get support
They can improvise
They can win!
A great team has a great leader who has their back!

On thinking well
The way we think has much to do with the way we feel . In the interconnections and interlooping between the way we act and react and the way think feel ,there is much happening in our body mind and spirit.
We are unique in our thoughts as much as in the way we are nurtured and reared in life and living. Our experiences reflect in our ways of behaviour . Hence to impact any transformative change in our actions it is imperative to move beyond thoughts and feelings and try to understand our inner engineering and its significance in the stream of flow from reaction to response.
The energy within is dancing through every cell of our bodies . In sending and receiving impulses as signals of communication there are electrical mechanical and chemical changes occuring within us . The resultant reactions of our body is interconnected to whatever changes are occuring in our psyche and our overall health.
So to change the way we think and behave, we need to understand the interlink between our varied states of being in time.
Every conscious positive shift in our thoughts can help heal in a profound way.
Choose to think well.

Sensing the pause
Is in knowing its power
The potential in the pause
In reverberation & resonance
In the rest & recovery.
Sensing in the pause
The subtlety of energy
In the stillness between
Reaching beyond the betwixt
Paving the way for possibilities

This caption caught my eye. Sharing my thoughts…
Agreed finding the self is the key
In every moment of living.
For living it purposefully.
Yet the question remains…
How?
To find yourself
And be alive to life in every now.
Simply be
Be present to the moment
Give it your full attention
Acknowledge what is in this now
Be open to possibilities
Allow space to accept
What is.
Know what is, is not all.
There is much potential in you
That is awaiting your awareness
Breathe in hope and let fear go
This way you consciously create
Space to grow.
To allow perspectives
To be inspired
To aspire in hope…
And be all that you can be.
Any other answers?
Do share your thoughts.

Its the first step
That often feels
The most difficult
But do know
Every other step
Can only follow
This first step
Take the chance
Take the step.

Optimism
Musings on Positive Mindsetting and Optimism by my mother Anjana.
Love this piece by her.
Seeing the glass half full or half empty makes a lot of difference to your mind set. Positive thinking is not to ignore the negativities of
matters or situations. It is to see the options to overcome the obstacles in the best possible way. Seeing goodness and being positive reduces unnecessary stress and unwanted heaviness of heart. It lightens the mind, to a cheerful mood and to a healthy you.
Being positive does not erase the difficulties or seriousness of the problem. But when you look at the light out side the dark tunnel, finding ways to cross the darkness becomes easier. The severity of the dark cloud fades away when you have the bright Sun in your vision. A positive mind strengthens your will power to cope up in situations , reduces your stress level resulting in a healthier you, increases life span.
A positive mind can identify and filter the negative thoughts at its seed level and tries to steer away from it. Devoid of imaginary fears you can see problems at its reality with an optimistic mind. Approaching life, facing its realities with a positive attitude makes solutions easier. It gives you better resiliency over adversity, reduces depression, improves your immunity. When your mental strength is increased, it becomes easy to identify and manage challenges, to bring out best positive results.
A positive mind makes you more stronger, , more communicative, more people friendly, more humorous, & healthier. It makes you a better person to be with.
Always be positive, be happy, be healthy. Surround yourself with positive people.

You create the state of success,
And you never rest on your success.
Success is in the courage to continue,
Your perseverance, your passion and purpose.
Success is consistently inconsiderate.
Success demands much focus
As it supplies momentum
Beyond self-limitations and doubts.
True success is the knowing
In your heart of contentment
Of a life well-lived and loved.
Success is who you are.
Success is in each of us,
Awaiting a discovery —
An unearthing of potential
To sense life’s possibilities.
If you believe your abilities,
trust your instinct,
And give it your best shot;
Success is sure to follow.
Success is an interesting journey and not a destination.
The more you sense the bigger picture…
You lovingly loose yourself in something that is bigger than yourself…
The greater your energy and the closer you are to where you want to be.
Success is within each of us…
Waiting for us to make a move towards it.

It’s often good to remember you are born to live.
Don’t live because you are born, don’t go where life takes you . Make life come alive where you are…
