In a world battling for itself
It is time to let oneself be as is
Accepting and acknowledging
The vulnerability of life
As foibles of life and living
It is not a time to be over demanding
Striving for over perfection
To the tipping point .
For the challenges of this now
Far outweigh the craze for perfection
Time to be less hard on yourself
And others around you
And be more grateful 🙏
Gratitude changes perspectives.
Making life a little more bearable
And a lot less complicated.

Wherever we may be
In this world, we are busy
We are too busy watching this now
For what might happen or go wrong
In doubt and fear of uncertainty
We perhaps, need a moment
Thàt we can can acknowledge
In awareness of where we are now
We might then, take note of all things.
Things that we can be happy about
Things that are not too bad after all
Things we may actually be joyful about
And then perhaps we can feel better
From wherever we are
However we are, as we are.
There is much, that we can be
Truly grateful for in this life.

As an employer, recruiting the right people for the job is extremely crucial for a successful recruitment.
While hiring
Your degrees may not matter that much
As much as…
Your integrity, sense of ownership and dedication at work.
Yes, the employers are seeking all of you, beyond the certifications
Your drive, your ability & your commitment
Is visible in all that you say & do.
For it truly does not matter where you come from or what you know,
What matters is what you do with what you know.
Build the self to be aware, empathic and emotionally intelligent beyond your degrees and specialization.
For even if degrees get you the job
It is your ability & adaptability that keeps you there.

In the din of the moment
Is the quiet reflection
Of thoughts in musings,
Like a whisper in all its subtlety,
Like a soft caress of a breeze,
Like a feeling wafting through.
The soul knows…
Unnoticed, unobserved often
Yet felt by one and all in consensus.
At one point or the other
It is sensed in the being.
For it’s the heart that senses…
Whispers that speak to the soul;
Wherever you are, you know…
Wisdom speaks to the willing listener.

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
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….

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.🙏
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….

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!

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
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.

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.
On the brink…
The world is going through a severe crisis
Anyone could be the next victim of the virus
It knows not man made differences
Of caste color creed race or religion.
The edge of reason
This is a time of uncertainty
Relationships old and new are on trial being tested in every way.
The need of the hour is to exercise caution, care, and spread hope and positivity
Yet there is still hatred, excess self indulgences all across the world.
There is still emotional mental and physical abuse in relationships…
Caught in the knot…
Caught in the knot is often the feeling for many
Where there is no trustful bond but just a feeling of being bound.
But yet tomorrow is another day…
Boundless bond…
May the love we have surmount the hate
May the good prevail over evil
May the light shine over the darkness of the mind
May we stay healthy and happy in our every now.
May we understand the power of words and spread them with care.
Soulful sensing…
What we have today we must cherish…
For a tomorrow that we build with love
For when we begin to see with our souls…
Our perceptions can alter, re-creating bonds beyond feeling bound.
Savvy
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.
