Precious life

Spirit of life and living

Makes the soul

Find purpose & meaning

Treat the body as a temple

Make friends with your mind

Allow the body & mind to coexist

Let them be harmonious

The life feels just right…

To be really healthy and truly well all that is required is that we not only treat our body right, but our mind and soul too.

Power of a Moment

Everything starts from a decisive moment…

Decision is often the difference between greatness and mediocrity. In every man’s life there comes a time when he must search for a cause, a work, an ideal to which he can give himself. Whether he says β€˜Yes’ or β€˜No’ to the challenge will determine his future.”

Wilferd Peterson

A great motivational quote.

It opens up a few relevant questions on decisions and decision making.

How decisive are you about your life?

Do you take your decisions seriously?

Or do often you let/ want others take decisions for you.

Do you take time to make decisions?

Do you stand for your decisions and do your decisions stand the test of time?

There are different decision making styles based on how a problem is perceived.

A good decision begins with begins with identification and envisioning of the goal ,

Secondly it is important to collect all information so that you can weigh options and alternatives.

Next it is paramount to consider the consequences of the decision before taking the decision.

Once a decision is taken is necessary to be able to evaluate the decisions in time.

Worth thinking of how much a good decision in a moment has power of change life.

On Gratefulness

If only we can remind ourselves

Of the preciousness of this now

We will perhaps be more conscious of how we are

Of how life transforms itself

In living life

In mindful awareness

We perhaps will value

The necessity of gratitude

In our everyday moments

And that every now is precious

Enough to fill with gratitude.

Trustful ways

In any organization
When leadership listens
Empathy is nurtured
Safe space is created
ConversationsΒ  connect
Teams bond in trustfulness
Productivity rises
In balanced motivation
Both intrinsicΒ  & external
Work becomes less dense
In collaboration & cooperation
Valuing diversity of potential
Possibilities are explored
Challenges gets simplified
Structure becomes systems
Protocols are in place
Change is acknowledged
In faith goodwill and trust
That we are stronger together
There is unity in diversity
As respect becomes culture.
Trust becomes the way.

On thankfulness

There is so much more to thankfulness

Your mind body and spirit

Are integrated in the emotions

Your life becomes more abundant

Your health improves along the way

For you hold not expression or suppress feelings

You appreciate what needs to be appreciated

You create circles of light hope and joy in thankfulness.

Make sure to add yourself in your list of thankfulness.

The Way Of Love



It’s the way of love to accept and allow
It’s the way of love to empower with hope
It’s the way of love to sense pain and pleasure.
It’s the way of love to share from the heart.
It’s the way of love to shine through a smiling heart
For love is the gift of life.
And it’s the way of love to be filled with gratitude

Nature’s Wisdom

This tree is uniquely shaped  and there is always a reason to be…

There is much in the pattern.
With angles that self-balance.
Supported in the shaping.
To survive the storm.
Swaying in the wind.
So full of spaces in between
To evolve and to grow.
With confidence of connection
Rooted in a solid foundation.
The tree find its own flow
Paving the pathway 
Manifesting  its uniqueness.
It finds its purpose of being.

Likewise to an organization
That grows steadfast in trust
In strength of the structure.
Spreading its wings in faith

For when the roots are strong
And potential is nurtured
In valuing the roots
In acceptance of the new…      There is freedom to expand.
With fresh perspective at play
Every leader owns an angle towards sustainability.
Great leaders may pitch great angles of perspective.
But a great team is formed by great people.
Like every living part of a tree is significant to the whole tree.
Every individual is valuable to the organization.
Every perspective matters to the cohesive whole.

A great read by my friend Ali Anani prompted me to write this post.

So much wisdom from nature in every form if we choose to see.

All is a dance

There is a dance
In every leaf and flower
In every bud and bloom
In every twig and tree
In every turn and twist
In every life in the living
Of natures creation.
There is grace of uniqueness
Of patterns, of wisdom Beyond compare…
All knowing, all pervading
Magnificent Omnipresence.
Amazing Nature
Amazing Grace.

An intelligence called Empathy


Empathy is a social intelligence  worth having and honing
Empathy meets you where you are as you are
Without judgements and competition
Empathy is a resiunding resonance
Empathic communication  leaves you touched and heard.
Empathy allows you to show acceptance and sense connection.


Empathy walks through and paves its way into the heart
Empathy is about sensing anothers heart and its ways
Empathy motivates the spirit and nurtures the being.
Empathy is a social intelligence
A much needed life skill
Empathy speaks more powerfully than words as its from all of you
Empathy connects through  in an instant.
For Empathy is the way of the heart and heart knows the way.

On Connectedness

We are bonded in a connection

By infinite fibers between us

Both visible & Invisible

At times tangible in the feeling

Some times palpable in the sensing

But it takes an acknowledgement

Of the beauty of us beyond the I.

On Sacredness

What makes it sacred

Is it in the feeling

Or in the invoking

Is it in the sensing

Or in the believing

Sacred is holy,

Sacred is divine

Because there is faith

For without it nothing is

With faith anything is possible

For you see the divinity

In every life.

Sense the divinity

In one another.

And life becomes sacred in every moment.
