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.

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. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

For u may come and go
Through many lifecycles
To sense the truth of the being
Every life has a reason to be
Unshackle the bounds of being.
And bond beyond the bounding.
Evolve to Dissolve, Disolve to evolve
Such is the dance of the spirit & soul
To become nothing and be everything….
Let go, let flow
Be present in the journey
Of many lifetimes
Until your delve into the purpose
Of life and living
So let go let flow …
To just be…

The world we see today
Is changing rapidly
New norms are setting in
We are in a state of flux
From fighting pandemic
To accepting lockdowns
As a way of being
People starved of socialization
Are appeased by bytes of reality
We are attuning ourselves
To being masked at all times
Practicing distancing and being indoors.
But life goes on no matter what
Sensitizing us to new ways of living
What matters most then is
Is that here we are, inspite of it all
We learn to align with ourselves
Moving with care and compassion
From here on empathy guides
Leading us to knowing ourselves.
This is the truth for us all
Of tommorow’s world.

To every question that arises
To every puzzle that confronts you.
Know you are entrusted with answers…
Deeply embedded with in you.
Simply trust in the knowing
It will deliver you the way.
The pathways will reveal itself
All in the right time and place.
All you need is trust in yourself …
And the courage to follow through.
But remember you have all the answers.

This lovely picture above by award winning photographer, Steve McCurry, of National Geographic fame, tells a story. Steve was passing through the Rajasthan, India desert by taxi, when he was caught in a furious dust storm. This is when he spotted a group of women in a huddle trying to brave its fury. The only way they could protect themselves was by taking support of one another. It had not rained in the region for 13 years and a dust storm like this forebode coming rains. While life hung precariously in this devastating storm, together they not only could fight it, but even sang happily on the prospect of possible rains. What better metaphor to show that women have the inherent strength and resilience to literally brave any storm and also at the same time rejoice on the positive side of even the most hostile situation. Together we stand. .. !!!
I came across this striking picture and story on Social Media and I just felt like sharing this today.
So much wisdom in these two lines.
Speaking and listening is an elegant dance of words
As you hear more you are learning
And as you speak you are expressing
The power of what mere words can do
At the right time said in the right tone
To the right audience in all its simplicity of delivery
As much as in the profoundness of understanding
Taking time to understand
What matters before you speak
Taking time to know whom to say what
All is a dance, in the wisdom in the being

Do you need something to happen
To be happy?
Does someone have to make you smile?
Do you need something to be done by another to feel joyous
Do you want others to impress upon you for you to be cheerful?
If you have answered yes to any of these questions …
Do you care to motivate another to be happy?
How many times have you smiled for another?
Motivation to be happy works best when its intrinsic.
Yes you have this life you are living
Make sure to make your moments happy 😊
Yes everyday is different
Life is not perhaps easy for any of us.
Sometimes the night is long
And light shines a little later than you may want it to
But know there is always a day after the night…
And light is meant to shine on your path once again.
Be happy with yourself first!
For your happiness is all around you!
Trust yourself and your life to live!
And live life lovingly!

Trust the self… it knows the way!
Our body is intelligence personified.
Every cell of our being holds the truth of our existence.
Our every move is deeply interconnected and entwined with our emotions.
We are how we feel and sense.
We are sensitive beyond compare in the subtlety of being.
We are strong beyond compare to dare the toughest of challenges.
Life and living makes and breaks us.
But we are meant to survive…
We are born with intuitive intelligence
Designed to be our internal guide
In every moment that we live.
We have a sense of knowing
Beyond all logic and reasoning
It is speaking to us every time
It lights our heart with joy
It signals us when there is a doubt
Let’s trust it, sense it in all its subtlety
It is talking to us…let’s begin to listen in
For it shows the way.

A grateful life is full of grace.
What is Grace to you ?
Do you want to live with grace
Life is full of grace
But we need to be ready to have it
In own ways and attitude
We need to attract grace
To stay with us and not leave
All through our lives
With all of our hearts…
For that would be bliss of a bless.

I noticed a child monk—he can’t have been more than ten years old—teaching a group of five-year-olds. He had a great aura about him, the poise and confidence of an adult.
“What are you doing?” I asked.
“We just taught their first class ever,” he said, then asked me, “What did you learn in your first day of school?”
“I started to learn the alphabet and numbers. What did they learn?”
“The first thing we teach them is how to breathe.”
“Why?” I asked.
“Because the only thing that stays with you from the moment you’re born until the moment you die is your breath. All your friends, your family, the country you live in, all of that can change. The one thing that stays with you is your breath.”
This ten-year-old monk added, “When you get stressed—what changes? Your breath. When you get angry—what changes? Your breath. We experience every emotion with the change of the breath. When you learn to navigate and manage your breath, you can navigate any situation in life.”
🌹Inhale the beauty….
Exhale with Gratitude 😇
It’s possible
They say…
What one sees as the end
Another sees a beginning
An attitude of positivity
Can change the world around.
To be able to believe & hope
Is the beginning of positive change.
So in possibilities of the potential
Take a leap of faith in trust
And simply know It’s possible.
Create the possibility!

Often the difference
Between mediocrity
And excellence
Is in the ability
In reaching beyond
To go the extra mile
For a cause, a passion
In dedicated perseverance
Towards a larger purpose
That is where life feels most alive.

Life is awaiting your awareness
To realize the power of your potential.
Its all in the way you choose to live.
To let go & dare to dance the skies
To take the chance on the rapids
To walk along witnessing the flow
To sit by the shores sensing it all…
The choice rests with you…
Every moment is what you make of it
Your life your way!

A beautiful story share that tugs your heartstrings.
Remember Kenyan runner Abel Mutai who was just a few feet from the finish line, but became confused with the signage and stopped, thinking he had completed the race. Spanish runner, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him and, realizing what was happening, started shouting at the Kenyan to continue running. Mutai didn’t know Spanish and didn’t understand. Realizing what was taking place, Fernandez pushed Mutai to victory.
A journalist asked Ivan, “Why did you do that?” Ivan replied, “My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life where we push and help each other to win.”
The journalist insisted “But why did you let the Kenyan win?” Ivan replied, “I didn’t let him win, he was going to win. The race was his.” The journalist insisted, and again asked, “But you could have won!” Ivan looked at him and replied, “But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor in that medal?
What would my Mother think of that?”
Values are passed on from generation to generation.
