Every Decade Teaches

Every decade teaches …

At ten

Life is innocence

At twenty

Life is discovery

At thirty

Life is pursuit

At forty

Life is awareness

At fifty

Life is experiences

At sixty

Life is expansion

At seventy

Life is inclusion

At eighty

Life is  rememberence

At ninety

Life is grace

At hundred & plus

Life is a testament

Of a lifetime lived.

Yet life is in this now…

Live life lovingly.

PS : A simple take on life so far, and in witnessing life & the living  around me.  I know life cannot be summed up in a word and there is much I want to add for every  decade… moreover  some words I have described may be experienced earlier  or later.

So to each their own…

What kind of reader are you ?

Are you the kind who travels back in time,
Rereading pages you’ve already turned?
Sensing memories and vivid imagery
Reflected in the lines.


Do you leave a bookmark behind,
Making your presence felt and remembered?


Or are you the kind who reads on the go,
Welcoming whatever comes your way?
The kind who leaves yesterday in its place,
Eager to explore new horizons…
Aspiring to look ahead, to move forward,
And experience so much more of life.

Sometimes we turn back the pages to honor the words that shaped us.

And sometimes we choose to look forward at the horizon ahead…

Whatever the way, simply know,

We have within us,the words and this now.

Reading is a mirror to living.

Inside outside

Inside outside

Quick fixes  are only a band aid.Temporary ways are not the answer. It is about creating a simple routine that is consistent.

Zoom beyond small niggles. See the bigger picture to understand the truths of  reality.Distil it all for a take away.

You are not the problem.

Care for yourself. You can build yourself. Be kind to yourself. Overdoing anything  overwhelms. Choose consistency over intensity.

Change your life for the better by doing something good for yourself .Through small changes that change your relationship with who you are.

Savvy

In reflection…

Real growth isn’t a battle to be won through self-punishment. It is a relationship to be nurtured through self-kindness. In shifting how you relate to yourself through small, daily, consistent choices,perspectives change.

Life transforms from inside out.

Dear Reader,

When things feel out of balance, what is that one quick fix you find yourself reaching for?

And would you choose consistency  over intensity?

And if so in what ways… do share.

What happens in space, stays in space.

​Space…

is what I make of it.

​Space allows,

and restrains

all at once.

In every now,

space is filled with infinite possibilities.

​Abundance.

Potential.

All truths,

as I perceive them in space.

​Space is fluid.

Space is alive.

​Space…

is what you make of it.

​What you sense in space,

stays in space.

What happens in space,

stays in space.

​Space is wonder.

An expansive phenomenon.

​The feeling of space

for you,

for me

is deeply different.

So is its need.

​Is there a divide at all

between physics and metaphysics?

Aren’t they interwoven,

deeply interconnected?

​It is only a question

of how open we are

to understanding space,

and the possibilities

in its potential.

​It is all

In, around,

and beyond.

Un expect

In letting go of expectations

You step closer to yourself

Your truths are awaiting you

Everything around you

Is also in you

Everything in you

Is also around you.

Synchronize with your breath

Open yourself to sense

The immense possibilities

Allow insights to appear

On your wants & desires.

Enjoy every now of life

In this gift that is yours

Lies the path of salvation

Discover yourself

As the paths unfold.

Simply choose to unexpect

Stay patient and observe

Your strengths along the way

Learn from your experiences

Steer yourself to implement,

And apply it to a better life.

Who are we?

All is not light

All is not dark

Between both

The day & night

Are shades & tones

Existing in every now

Nothing is definite

Where there is infinite

In ways & deeds

Then who are we

To judge one another

And frame them

As only black or white.

If we only could understand

The story of every shade

And every tint & tone of light.

We would think twice

Before the final verdict.

So much to discover

So much to understand

So much to know more

On who we are.

A ladder

A ladder is a link

A point of interconnections

A bridge between two sides

Between two opposites.

A ladder is not always to climb

A ladder leads you to connect

But the choice is yours

If you want to lead or be led by it.

Climb the ladder with confidence

Continue to bridge over challenges

Meet the changes with integrity

Dare the new horizons in hope.

Dignity of being

Its not pride. It’s dignity,

That you need with you.

Much is the difference between .

In no uncertain moment

Lose your sense of dignity.

For dignity is divine

For it embodies your spirit & soul

Pride is just a human emotion. 

If ever you face a situation

Where anothers words & deeds 

Leave you broken

Remember  its just your pride & ego

That feels deflated in the moments.

It’s just a phase of life it will pass.

Your dignity stays with you

In the way you handle

With no loss of grace

Stay dignified, stay graceful.

What’s noise & what matters?

Whenever you feel overwhelmed
And stalled in your efforts
When you feel you are lost
In too many things
And that whatever you are doing
does not serve you at all…

Do care to ask yourself
this simple question
for a conscious reset:
What is noise & what matters?

Cultivating Patience

A calm composed nature

Allows space for response

An agitated mind & heart

Creates room for errors,

Of judgment & misunderstanding.

Patience is a virtue

An undervalued skill

In cultivating patience

You encourage a moment

For reflection before response.

To be patient is an opportunity

To be able to lean into the silence

And glean fresh perspectives.

For every moment is filled with it..

In seeing every moment,

in the journey as a step forward

than a race against time.

Is about cultivating patience.

Creating  conscious peace in mindful ways.

Potential for peace

Are you feeling the rage

Of a war within you

Is there a fire flaming through your veins

Is your heart thumping beyond your control

Are your thoughts so muddled that you just can’t think straight?

Well my friend, trust that this too shall pass

For your anger is self made from the agony

Of living life with frustration.

All you need is to acknowledge  time as your best friend

For it shows you a new way in time

From reaction to response

But do you want to be responsible

For your self harm or healing ?

For your anger is destroying you.

Think about what ways you can flip the script you are telling yourself.

For its your thoughts and feelings that fuel your emotions, time and time again.

If your heart is hurt remember to think and align your heart with your mind.

If your thoughts are the reason and that anger is bubbling up your brain, know your heart is far expansive  that you know, feel from your heart the love and forgiveness that stems from it. And align your thinking mind with the emotions of unconditional loving heart .

If both your heart and brain are a fire ball of fury then too you have the wisdom of your body. Train your body to move and realign yourself to help you step out of this phase.

Remember the potential for peace rests with you always.

It’s just a matter of acknowledging it. And bringing it into practice in response than reaction.

Peace is within you

Your infinite potential always included the peace that you actually are.

You choose

Your life is a result of your choices

From what you eat

What you watch

What you hear

What you speak

Whom you befriend

Whom you bear

Whom you meet

To the thoughts you think

It’s all in what you choose

To allow & let go.

Weathering the storms

Wither not yourself away

Weathering the storms

Every life finds itself

In the whirlpool of chaos.

And often unfortunately so.

Pick yourself up

Dust away the doubts

Don your best attitude

And look ahead

At a not so distant time

And trust in yourself

For storms precede the calm.

 

Sense the strength of spirit

Moving towards your purpose

Know every storm has one

Find yourself on your way

To fulfilling your soul purpose.

Allow and just be…

Allow yourself spirit to emanate joy

Allow the body to feel its contentment

Allow the self to embody peace

Allow the heart to open itself  to possibilities

Allow the self to move in space  and sense the freedom it offers.

Just  be and allow

Valley of Reactivity

Between & betwixt  spaces

Of pause and activity

 In the thinking and doing

Overcome the challenges

Of the conflicts of being.

Move on from valleys of reactions

From impulsive actions

That stems from assumptions

Reach out in responsiveness

Being positively intentional

Leading to clarity

In the deeper listening.
