Nature finds its way

We are what we are
With the possibilities for evolution
Inside us all.
And yet each arrives at their own time
To the journey meant for them
To carve a path that they are meant to.
Life never claims to be fair
Life is as is
It is within us to know
What to hold on to hone, or set free
For nature is always in flow
And true nature always finds its way.

Trust the journey

Every moment offers immense possibilities

In the infinite potential

Those who can focus on what drives them

In passion, trustful patience & dedicated perseverance

Can reach where they choose to go…

Acknowledgement

How to see the good

When bad is doing the round

To bring the good in focus

Perhaps you need to search

For it in their way of being

In the visible & hidden nature

There is much that happens

In the circumstances

And much that goes invisible

For it cannot be expressed

For it is seen as a weakness

To be vulnerable

To be sensitive & emote

Are qualities that are negated

For it makes ones life difficult

But life has many shades

The very weakness for one

Can be a strength for another

It’s all in the way we see it.

Every life is precious

With many gifts of nature

It is in us to acknowledge.

On Leadership


In an increasing uncertainty in a volatile times, it is important to work from strengths than weaknesses and embrace the flexibility of approach.


Work on self-improvement by understanding your personality, your skills, and responsibilities. Be open to feedback and ideas and avoid bracketing yourself into one type of person, so you can stretch yourself and be able to adapt to whatever the circumstances. This way, you can resolve a broader spectrum of situational challenges without self limiting beliefs blocks.

Become a competent leader who knows to surf through the tides of change and stay afloat.

Remember there is infinite power in possibilities in you

All it needs to begin with is the first step.

Life is in this cup of now

How do you fill your cup of life?

How often?

What makes you happy?

Filling the cup of life cannot happen

Without making space to enjoy life’s moments

Let the cup of life overflow

In the sharing of joy

The cup of Now:

Create space in your cup of time

For solitude and reflections

Allow yourself to make sense

Of moments without overwhelm.

Take a moment to pause…

And begin to enjoy the sip of this cup in this now.

For life is in this cup of now.

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.

On Trustfulness

A changing world


In this world of metaverses and advanced technology where emotional connects  brings us closer, no matter the actual physical  distance, building & sustaining trustfulness, integrity becomes paramount benchmarks  for buisnesses in digital space. Companies that can understand this need and work around it by providing clarity of information and create experiences with strong data securities will have an advantage. Even terms and policies on user data needs transparent communication.


On the other hand the question  remains  how the world will adapt to new ways of work with avatars taking prominence over actual humans. The lines of real and virtual are truly interweaved. While this generation born in a digital world is synced in with the changes like AI storming in to our life, the earlier  generation is still reeling with trust issues with digital technology.

Changing Times…

Times are changing and how, from a generation that grew up without phones & computers…   to a world  that knows not to be, without a mobile phone & laptops!

Trustful Connections


In all this change, there is still one element of truth that is consistently evident.
The need for  human connection. As development improves the way we interact with one another it is getting extremely important to feel a sense of trust.The way of work has higher need for transparency along with the responsibility.And that is creating more interdependence and collaborative styles of work.
Autocracy has to move to meritocracy for trust to be formed. For we are in one way or other coming to terms of living in a world  where everyone can function from anywhere at the touch of button and can be informed and aware in real time.

Sustainability

Challenges are plenty but solutions are also clear.Leading the change building trust. Creating and sustaining better relationships.It’s all in us, the way we behave interact and live each moment. Trust takes time to form and be instilled. Once trust is gained it becomes a gamechanger. In any successful relationship be it professional or personal, it is important to understand the need to cultivate and sustain efforts towards trustful connections.

Social Wisdom

(IT IS A SHARED POST)

Repost credits- Treeza Rodrigues

SOME SOCIAL RULES THAT MAY HELP YOU:

  1. Don’t call someone more than twice continuously. If they don’t pick up your call, presume they have something important to attend to;
  2. Return money that you have borrowed even before the person that borrowed you remember or ask for it. It shows your integrity and character. Same goes with umbrellas, pens and lunch boxes.
  3. Never order the expensive dish on the menu when someone is giving you a lunch/dinner.
  4. Don’t ask awkward questions like ‘Oh so you aren’t married yet?’ Or ‘Don’t you have kids’ or ‘Why didn’t you buy a house?’ Or why don’t you buy a car? For God’s sake it isn’t your problem;
  5. Always open the door for the person coming behind you. It doesn’t matter if it is a guy or a girl, senior or junior. You don’t grow small by treating someone well in public;
  6. If you take a taxi with a friend and he/she pays now, try paying next time;
  7. Respect different shades of opinions. Remember what’s 6 to you will appear 9 to someone facing you. Besides, second opinion is good for an alternative;
  8. Never interrupt people talking. Allow them to pour it out. As they say, hear them all and filter them all;
  9. If you tease someone, and they don’t seem to enjoy it, stop it and never do it again. It encourages one to do more and it shows how appreciative you’re;
  10. Say “thank you” when someone is helping you.
  11. Praise publicly. Criticize privately;
  12. There’s almost never a reason to comment on someone’s weight. Just say, “You look fantastic.” If they want to talk about losing weight, they will;
  13. When someone shows you a photo on their phone, don’t swipe left or right. You never know what’s next;
  14. If a colleague tells you they have a doctors’ appointment, don’t ask what it’s for, just say “I hope you’re okay”. Don’t put them in the uncomfortable position of having to tell you their personal illness. If they want you to know, they’ll do so without your inquisitiveness;
  15. Treat the cleaner with the same respect as the CEO. Nobody is impressed at how rude you can treat someone below you but people will notice if you treat them with respect;
  16. If a person is speaking directly to you, staring at your phone is rude;
  17. Never give advice until you’re asked;
  18. When meeting someone after a long time, unless they want to talk about it, don’t ask them their age and salary;
  19. Mind your business unless anything involves you directly – just stay out of it;
  20. Remove your sunglasses if you are talking to anyone in the street. It is a sign of respect. Moreso, eye contact is as important as your speech; and
  21. Never talk about your riches in the midst of the poor. Similarly, don’t talk about your children in the midst of the barren.

22.After reading a good message try to say “Thanks for the message”.

APPRECIATION remains the easiest way of getting what you don’t have….

Happy Women’s Day

Stories from Life and Living

In this series I share stories that are thought provoking, inspiring, motivational or touching our lives in some way or the other.

Better late than never

My mom had a lot of problems. She did not sleep and she felt exhausted. She was irritable, grumpy, and bitter. She was always sick, until one day, suddenly, she changed.

The situation was the same, but she was different.

One day my dad said to her:

– I’ve been looking for a job for three months and I haven’t found anything, I’m going to have a few beers with friends.

My mom replied:
– It’s okay.

My brother said to her:
– Mom, I’m doing poorly in all subjects at the University …

My mom replied:
– Okay, you will recover, and if you don’t, well, you repeat the semester, but you pay the tuition.

My sister said to her:
– Mom, I hit the car.

My mom replied:
– Okay daughter, take it to the workshop, find how to pay and while they fix it, get around by bus or subway.

Her daughter-in-law said to her:
– Mother-in-law, I come to spend a few months with you.

My mom replied:
– Okay, settle in the living room couch and look for some blankets in the closet.

All of us at my mom’s house gathered worried to see these reactions.

We suspected that she had gone to the doctor and that she was prescribe some pills of “I don’t give a damn about 1000 mg.”

She would probably also be ingesting an overdose.

We then proposed to do an “intervention” to my mother to remove her from any possible addiction she had towards some anti-tantrum medication.

But what was not the surprise, when we all gathered around her and my mom explained:

“It took me a long time to realize that each person is responsible for their life, it took me years to discover that my anguish, my mortification, my depression, my courage, my insomnia and my stress, did not solve their problems but aggravated mine.

I am not responsible for the actions of others, but I am responsible for the reactions I express to that.

Therefore, I came to the conclusion that my duty to myself is to remain calm and let each one solve what corresponds to them.

I have taken courses in yoga, meditation, miracles, human development, mental hygiene, vibration and neurolinguistic programming, and in all of them, I found a common denominator: finally they all lead to the same point.

And, it is that I can only interfere with myself, you have all the necessary resources to solve your own lives.

I can only give you my advice if you ask me and it depends on you to follow it or not.

So, from now on, I cease to be: the receptacle of your responsibilities, the sack of your guilt, the laundress of your remorse, the advocate of your faults, the wall of your lamentations, the depositary of your duties, who should solve your problems or spare a tire every time to fulfill your responsibilities.
From now on, I declare all independent and self-sufficient adults.

Everyone at my mom’s house was speechless.

From that day on, the family began to function better, because everyone in the house knows exactly what it is that they need to do.

A HAPPY WOMAN!!( pls feel free to share)

Possible

Dare to dream and walk on

Continue to persevere

In patience and passion

In faith and belief

In hope and trust

There is much good

You are meant to do

In your journey of life

Doubt not your ability

No matter the naysayers

For there will be plenty

Of those who will say so…

But very few who help

You do, what you do

In perseverance & patience

You create your purpose

And you find yourself

In possibilities.

It’s all possible because you know in your heart you can…

On thankfulness

Feeling thankful is an authentic part of being alive.

Every life has something to be thankful for

What is in your list?

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.

And watch thankfulness transform your world and you.
