The Pendulum Mind
The Pendulum Mind
Are you swinging back and forth
Into thoughts of past happenings
And of the future, yet to happen
Are you continuously sifting.
In a state of imbalance
Switching between thoughts
Do you feel out of focus
With your reality in this now.
Then perhaps you need to rethink
And realign yourself
To be present in this moment
And not lose the now.
Yes the mind shifts without notice
For it is designed to do so
In survival mode to comb and seek
As it searches for possibilities missed.
It creates associations to bridge over the brink
Time to adjust the swinging pendulum of mind,
To calibrate it to move with time
Than against or before time.
For it needs to be aligned
To tune into the current track at play
To be there in mindfulness
Of this very moment at hand.

Make a move
Every move has a ripple
Every move is an effect
Everything is interconnected
Everything correlates
Touch a life, plant a seed
Make a positive difference
Create a ripple effect
Across the heart of life and living
Creating impacts for a better tommorow
In every postive move you make.
Savvy
You are…
You are
All that you believe
All that you want to be
All that you choose to be
All your thoughts and deeds.
All your purpose and passion
All your deepest intentions
Enmeshed in the interconnects.
Of your life and living
As much as in the ebb and flow
Of the river of time.
You are
So much more….

A perspective change
Here is a story share …
Play the battle Drums
A king had many elephants, but one elephant was very powerful, very obedient, sensible and skillful in fighting skills. In many wars, he was sent on the battlefield and he used to return only after getting victory to the king. Therefore, he was the most loved elephant of the king. Time went by and there came a time when the elephant started getting old. Now he was not able to perform as before. Therefore, now the kings did not even send him to the battlefield but still remain a part of his team.
One day the elephant went to the lake to drink water, but his feet got stuck in the mud there and then went on sinking. He tried a lot, but he could not remove himself from the mud. People came to know from the sound of his screams that the elephant was in trouble. The news of the trapping of the elephant also reached the king. All the people, including the king, gathered around the elephant and made various efforts to get him out. But after trying for a long time, there was no way out.
At that time, a old wise retired minister from the kings court was passing by seeing the king and the croud he thought of stopping and seeing what was tha matter. After a quick first inspection and speaking to the king he suggested to the king that the battle drums should be played around the lake. The listeners felt bizarre how the trapped elephant would come out by playing the drums. As soon as the drums of war started ringing, so did the change in the gesture of that troubled elephant.
At first, the elephant slowly stood up and then came out of the mud on his own, shocking everyone.
Reflection
There was no lack of physical ability in the elephant, only the need to infuse enthusiasm within
To maintain enthusiasm in life, it is necessary that humans maintain purposeful thinking & mindset and do not let despair dominate.
In today’s challenging times we all need to infuse ourselves & people around us with Hope & enthusiasm by playing the battle drums that we will again Celebrate Abundance of good health, Joy & Happiness tommorow.
Stop asking people how is tough times treating them instead share the happy moments and what interesting things are happening around you.
There is lots of good thing happening around.
Make sure the battle drums are played to declare not that a war has started but the victory in the battle of difficult times with the support of awesome people like you around.🙏
Taking all of you!
Find yourself!
How involved are you in life?
In your passion?
In your engagement?
In your purpose?
In your lifes moments?
What is it that makes you go on
Taking all of you
Into whatever you do?
Perhaps…
You have an answer within
You are already on your path!
Creating anything worth having
Can take all of you
To be involved to be engaged
With a purpose that drives you…
Beyond yourself!
And you find yourself!

Would you add a word?
Started writing one word
But these three words came to mind.
Serenity
Sensibility
Serendipity
Would you care to leave a positive word?

Sun & Moon
Learnings from the Sun…
Being hopeful that there is a new dawn
Being awake to possibilities.
Being warm and cheerful by nature.
Sun is the epitome of the joys of light.
With its life affirming brilliant iridescence.
Learnings from the Moon
Being accepting of oneself as is
Being allowing of the changes
Being aware of what to let go.
Moon emotes through her phases every night.
Shining her beautiful moonbeam
across the night skies.
The moonlight soothing the soul.
Sun and Moon are celestial beings
One a sign of hope and positivity
The other a symbol of peace and reflecting calm.
Relentlessly appearing and disappearing every day and night,
In the circle of life and living.
Savvy
A deed in time
Any good deed in time
Leaves a heartprint forever
Planting is a thoughtful deed
Reaping a harvest of abundance
A seed to a bud, to beautiful blooms
Shade from the leaves & fruits to eat.
Every tree is a blessing of goodwill.
Time knows it all
And time shows it all at the right time.
Gratitude for the grace of goodwill.🙏

Irony of life
Came across this forward today….paints a very relevant picture of times we live in … do read.
Someone has nicely explained the irony in the present situation:
“ Never have I seen
such a mess in life.
The air is pure but
wearing a mask is
mandatory.
Roads are empty
but it is impossible
to go on long drive.
People have clean
hands but there is a
ban on shaking hands.
Friends have time to
sit together but they
cannot get together.
The cook inside you
is crazy, but you cannot
call anyone for lunch or
dinner.
Every Monday,
the heart longs to go out, but the weekend does not seem to end.
Those who have money
have no way to spend it.
Those who don’t have
money have no way to
earn it.
The culprit is all around
but cannot be seen.
A world full of irony!
Be positive but test negative.”
What is in my cup now?
If the cup of life you have in this now
Is filled with doubts and insecurities
Can you stir up some positive intent
Within the cup , adding awareness
Can u brim the cup with humanity
So that when it spilleth over
There is healing in hope
There is goodwill and grace
Allowing some space for reflection
To let peace in and let it flow….

Breakthrough!

Strength in the grounding
Here is a truly powerful image
Speaking volumes without a word.
Depicting the power of nature
Breaking through a rock…
Life cannot be undermined
It finds a way to flourish
Nature has a way of nurturing itself
To survive against all odds.
The strength of the spirit
The intention of the soul
Courses through its veins
Until it finds a path to grow
Rooting itself steadfastly
Its grounding is its strength
Nourishing the life
To stay centered .
And grow it does and how…
Spring through summer
Come rain or shine
No autumn can last too long …
As that seemingly leafless tree
Springs forth a hopeful bloom
Sharing the fruits of life and living.
As the seasons change….
Breakthrough are a way of being
Course correcting itself no matter
Finding its bearing in full bloom
Nature is meant to thrive!

On Gratitude
Life is a reflection of our way of living.
The attitudes, the thoughts we carry
The nature of our deeds
All is deeply significant to our states of being.
In depth of gratitude arises acknowledgement
Everything that is, has a reason
Nothing is accidental
In deep gratitude, there is clarity
Clearing the debris of uncertainty
Crystallizing the dimensions in-between
Every once in a while
Partaking in the profoundness of wisdom garnered
Beyond the apparitions
Illusions in the making
And the reality in the reflections
Flowing along in this river of time.
Savvy
Celebrate Yourself
Happiness is a state of being
The simple act of acknowledgement
Even in our little wins…
With a heart felt smile , a self hug,
All can create a positive impact
On our state of being.
Remember to celebrate yourself
You can change the way you feel
Make yourself available to you
Your life is a precious gift
Acknowledge, & Celebrate yourself.

In this now
We all want to be in the safe zone for ourselves and others.
Let us be mindful in this now and practice sanitation protocols to the best of our abilities from wherever we are.
But we also need to be empathically aware of the many who are doing their best to save lives.
Salute to all the selfless souls.
God be the protective shield of all the frontliners of the health, sanitation, essential services and many invisible heroes who are doing their best in spite of all odds. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
