On Acceptance

In Acceptance, there are many perspectives in the understanding.
Acceptance as I see it, is not giving up or being in the same place.
To me a practice of self acceptance is an ability to respect the now and in turn acknowledge the transient  nature of  everything.
To accept then is to be able to have a feel or a vision of the situation as it is experienced in the now. 
Acceptance is often seen as being defenseless.


Yet to envision that acceptance comes from a place of strength,  is to be able to understand that we are not one entity but made of many parts that matter to the  whole.
So the stance of acceptance is about flow & movements in the stillness, in hope to evolve in time along with the changes.

The Paradox of Idea Generation

While working with teams in collaboration Our assumptions and notions often lead us.

Our expressions are guarded and stunted in Our doubts kicks in a resistance to be free.

The attitudes that we carry around ideas
Often block us from generating fresh ideas
We believe our idea must be the best idea.
We believe we cannot say what we think.
We fear the criticism of what we openly say
We hold back thinking sharing is not wise.
Or that someone  will steal our ideas.
Or that we will not get credit for it.
Or perhaps the need for perfection kicks in

All are the real blocks in creative ideations
Without faith and confidence in ourselves
We cannot express & ideate in groups
Yet nothing is achieved in silos
Growth is a consequence of the sharing.

Creative possibilities are enhanced
In a more exploratory space of learning Adopting  a more collaborative approach.
As we begin to share, we learn some more.

Great ideas are born from creative collaboration.

Have you tried to collaborate creatively with a team? Do share your experiences.

Words of wisdom

Awareness is built in the sensing

Like how only when the feelings are felt

In the heart there is a sensing of hope.

Like how time is measured of the moments

All else is illusory and will fade away!

Care to tune inwards to sense and feel

The gift of your own life in the heartbeats

Value the preciousness of life itself

Live it Lovingly!

On Being Happy

The moment you choose to be happy

No matter where you are

You begin to learn to smile from the heart

You begin to change the way you speak

You begin to listen deeply and be focused

On happier things than the mundane

You evolve and thank life…

Every day a little more in time

Being happy is a choice

And the choice rests with you.

Daring to begin again

In giving yourself the permission to start over

Is the ability to acknowledge hope and possibilities

In the starting all over again is tenacity

And persistence in perseverance

To begin again a new journey

Speaks volumes of ones inner strength

And resiliency

Footprints

This Birthday I am deeply grateful for the good energies and wish it likewise for all here.

And I share here,

what I deeply feel about living life and leaving imprints on the sands of time ….


Leave footprints if you must .
On the sands of time in trust
Just remember ….
No footprint is totally foolproof
to be washproof

All is a game
like the tides that tame
Even the strongest surfer …
Eternal to all is time and nothing else
And sparking in the cosmos we are all just wayfarers

Tread softly
Love authentically
Live lovingly
Behave empathically
Speak truthfully
Move consciously
Grow gratefully !

On Trees & Gratitude

Every  tree is beautiful
No matter where it is
But some take your breath away
In the sheer grace of abundance
Of nature’s manifestation.


Speaking  of trees
There is tree that comes to mind
That I used to always be charmed by
In my daily walk while in a distant land
It is a beautiful tree in Rennes France
A glance would be enough to feel
The gratitude welling up in me
For the bounties of nature!
So grateful!

Channelling the flow

Whatever you resist persists

Steer away from impulsive resistance

Yes while resistance is natural in life

Resistance may create tension

Yet it can be a signal of change

In channelling this very resistance.

In allowing to let go completely

Soon tension eases in the flow

In perseverance & patience.

In response than reaction

Creating positive transmutation.

In thoughts words and deeds

Sifting & sailing through your perspectives

Till harmony becomes you.

Life gives unto life

Cage not the spirit of a bird
If you truly want to hear
The soul song of a bird


Plant a tree…
For life gives unto life
Such is nature of nature

On Awareness

When the shift is known by the mind
And felt in the heart
Then every thing moves
In conscious awareness.

Peace Matters More

We all fight…

For what we believe to be right

Yet sometimes we need to see

What is happening in and around us

Are we building or destructing?

Are we going to the point of no return

Engaging without rethinking

The point of it all…

How many battles do you wish you had backed out?

How many do you wish you had withdrawn?

How many arguments do you think you could have avoided?

Have you felt totally drained after a war of words?

How many times have you sensed the pointlessness of such a debate?

Sometimes it’s better to withdraw than fight

When you sense the futility of war

Be selective what you choose to focus on

The choice rests with you

Choose peace over war

For peace matters more.

The Wisdom Of Letting Go

“By letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try, the world is beyond winning.” – Lao Tzu

Trying to win is good

But when that very trying

Is consuming the life out of you

Would you think it over?

We teach ourselves

To try and try until we win

But there is always a point of tipping over.

Knowing when to bend so you do not break

Is a lesson in letting go…

When you are able to discern the detachment dispassionately

When you are able to rise beyond comparisons & competitions

When you are able to sense the contentment in what you have

You are meeting your true Self

For you are able to acknowledge in acceptance

The truth of what truly matters

In the learning to let go

You have witnessed there is abundance

In the circles of being there is always more

What is, was and will be

Always has a reason yet to understand

There is wisdom in the letting go!

Life

One who knows the worth of life

Cannot afford to waste

Even a single moment of life

Care to take a step

Towards a more meaningful life.

Every now is awaiting your awareness

To envision the potential within

Every new day is a gift of possibilities

Care to make today count!

Favourite music

On song writing:

“We human beings are tuned such that we crave great melody and great lyrics. And if somebody writes a great song, it’s timeless that we as humans are going to feel something for that and there’s going to be a real appreciation.” -Art Garunkel

What is great music to you?

Is it the song how it sounds to you ?

Do you pay attention to the lyrics?

Sometimes great lyrics alone don’t make a great song,

And often great song has hardly any depth to its lyrics

So what are your favorite or evergreensongs the ones you listen to always?

What is it that makes it, to your favorite list?
