How beautiful it would be If good deeds prevailed in practice. If altruistic ways can become a norm A way of life and living If healthy collaboration became a driving force. Yet… Any change is never easy
The key to the new pathways
Is already existing with you
You simply have to acknowledge allow and accept
For it to get activated…
And you can embark on the new road of opportunities your way.
To change anything It has to permeate the psyche Of the mind in acceptance. Then there is transformation. Nothing lasting happens by force For force gives way to another mightier force in time Trust time in patience & perseverance.
Everything happens in time. Time shows the way As time has all the answers.
Listening is about attention And being present wholeheartedly Respect is a two faced coin You gotta give to get Sincere attention is sincere respect! Savvy
What’s going to Matter Is the way we use our skills Each of us is uniquely blessed But how we choose to be Is in our hands Skills are just tools But your emotions and thoughts can alter life Let it guide you to do better Transform your attitude to life and living Life evolves for the better.
A young woman was sitting at her dining table, worried about taxes to be paid, house-work to be done and to top it all, her family was coming over for Thanksgiving the next day. She was not feeling very thankful at that time. As she turned her gaze sideways, she noticed her young daughter scribbling furiously into her notebook. “My teacher asked us to write a paragraph on “Negative Thanksgiving” for homework today.” said the daughter, “She asked us to write down things that we are thankful for, things that make us feel not so good in the beginning, but turn out to be good after all.”
With curiosity, the mother peeked into the book. This is what the daughter had written: “I’m thankful for Final Exams, because that means school is almost over. I’m thankful for bad-tasting medicine, because it helps me feel better. I’m thankful for waking up to alarm clocks, because it means I’m still alive.” It then dawned on the mother, that she had a lot of things to be thankful for! She thought again… She had to pay taxes but that meant she was fortunate to be employed. She had house-work to do but that meant she had her own home to live in. She had to cook for her family for Thanksgiving but that meant she had a family with whom she could celebrate.
Moral:We generally complain about the negative things in life but we fail to look at the positive side of it. What is the positive in your negatives? Look at the better part of life this day and make it a great day”
Sharing another from my mother’s writing today… it happens to be one of my favorite pieces from her.

Worlds far and beyond knowledge Xceeds the human excellence. Yearning _’To be with IT ‘ is all one can wish with the Zeal of unwavering Faith
Great things can come in little packages Like a Bonsai perhaps Standing majestic and magnificent No matter the proportions
But what does it endure to be? Life without freedom Is a life of constraints & restraints A life of arrested development
Is beauty winning over freedom to be Is the desire for aesthetics and a taste of experimentation more important than freedom for living life fully Stunting growth is no way beautiful Be it Shackles on feet with chains or tight shoes in the name of beauty On the other end there are many examples of prejudices of beauty working itself in society. Delibrate acts of elongating necks with chains of gold is considered a norm in some parts of the world Why is life so brutal to life In the name of beauty?
