Moving through the mire

Sink not into the mire

In doubts of despair

Choose to move yourself out

In thoughts words & deeds

Engage with  your passions

Dedicate your time with purpose

Light in yourself a spark of fire

Choose to move through 

And well beyond the mire.

It’s Possible

Light
A space of darkness
Is bound to beam with light

Clarity
A space of uncertainty
becomes a space of clarity.

Breath
In the inhale of purpose
Perseverance exhales with passion

Thoughts
In the racing of thoughts
A quiet mind finds itself.

Mind
A mind that allows itself to know
Can be inclusive in expansiveness.

Heart
A heart that wanders
Can be the heart that wonders
Of the yet unknown.
Flowing unbridled with spirit
It can find its anchor in time.

Peace
A place of great unrest
Is truly the place for peace.
To seed and nurture
And evolve the being.

Success
Success births itself
In every bud to a bloom.
In every new moment.

An unrealized dream…

An unrealized dream
An unexplored adventure
A challenging adversity
A twist of fortune
An unexpected detour
An unwanted influence
An undervalued feeling
A undermined self-esteem
A slew of slights
A spate of illness
A foreboding feeling
An unfinished business
An unforgivable mistake
An unfortunate moment
All may seem reason enough
But the reality is these are excuses
Remind your life happens.
Time is moving its course
Buck up and reset your path
For you know in your heart
You are enough for you.

Boredom  : A space for more

Wished a very enterprising friend
On his birthday today
Umpteen solar cycles wise
He has weathered
the storms of life
And yet through it all is a joy to connect

I paused a moment
when I read his reply
beyond the thank-you.
In his words…

“My days are long and boring, but at this stage of my life, boring is a desired quality.
May life give you what you desire the most at every stage of your life”.

His words touched my heart

It speaks much of a spirit
wanting to do much more
A recognition of boredom,
Is the desire to unravel life
some more.

Boredom creates a space
Between the steps
In realization and acknowledgement
Of the preciousness of time

And that is in itself, valuable
For it is allowing you to tap
into potential possibilities.
And discover something more,
awaiting your creativity
on the other side of boredom.
In finding the good in boredom
Life isn’t so boring after all!

I thank my friend for his kind blesses &
I wish my dear friend
a fascinating birthday
that lights up his day
and brings joy to his heart.

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.

Surf the waves

To swim and surface
Is daring the waves.
Like any ocean surfer knows
We are all equal before a wave.
While you may not be able to control everything
And learning curve may be steep
You adapt to ride the waves.
For waves are a part of the flow
In the cycle of life.
A wise leader knows
the highs and lows
Are part of the same flow.

How to become a better version of oneself?

To evolve into a better version  of the self…

You incrementally make the moves towards it.

If you sense frustration and angst  choose to make sense of where  you are in this now…

Are you angry at something  beyond your control?

When you realise you cannot  change another then be wise to improve yourself.

Be assertive and you will sense confidence.

Choose to be self aware and have the courage to dare to speak for yourself.

You are your best friend,  you don’t need anothers validation.

Own your truths. Both strengths and weaknesses. And work on improving  your self in conscious ways, step by step .

It all starts with you taking the step.

Would you agree?

Life & living

How do you navigate the challenges of life by staying practical?

Acknowledging changes by being adaptable  Yet standing up for what you believe,  and saying no assertively, when you want to say no, without fear and doubts of what people will say.

Staying humble and grateful  yet  dedicated & focussed , no matter the vagaries of life.

Being able to move on from errors or failures, without becoming stagnant.

Being kind to oneself with self care.

And then most  importantly allowing every failure to become stepping stones of learnings.

Life & living

My 80 plus father and I were having a nice conversation this morning. I asked him, what is the difference between your generation and today?

What did you all have then that today that we don’t have today?
He said it in one line:  Freedom of time. It’s so true.
Today’s world is fully connected but caught in the web of it’s own doing.
Today everything is caught on camera.
No one is truly free.
Whether at work or after,.. your work follows you .You are always available  and connected even when you travel…
Life is actually more complicated with all these so called devices of technology.

Even simple joys of life are difficult to experience for lack of time.
No one is truly free.
Chained to the machines of their own making…

In the name of Work from home  and work life balance, we are getting  more work home that there is no downtime. Weekends  no longer feel different.  All are in  a rat race in time.  Until we mutually  agree and consciously  think of taking time out and act on it , life seems to fall into a rut of routine  that we forget  we are meant to live and not just exist .

Way of seeing

The way we see the world

Changes our experiences.


Lesser expectations

Greater contentment


Lesser assumptions & doubt

Greater trustfulness


Lesser hopelessness

Greater possibility


Lesser the complexity

Greater the clarity.

How do you see the world?

Beyond the self

The world around  us

Is interacting all the time

The way we choose

Becomes us.

And each of our choices

Through our intentions

Becomes deeds of our doing.

It’s all in us

In the thinking and intending

For the good of all

Beyond the self.

Dance of matter

Every move has  a reaction

In the cause  and effect world

Forms shifting shapes

Colours changing  hues

Where even the blink of an eye

A touch of the breeze

Or even a silent intention

Can set off a symphony in response

For all is aligned in connection.

Twisted or helical structure

In a Self arranging universe 

Reflecting retracting

Rotating revolving

Tuning  itself in time

Blending in the balancing

Altered by sensitivity in subtlety

Interplay of Intelligence

Telling phenomenonal stories

Holding immense possibilities

In its infinite potential

Awaiting mindful application

In the journey of awakenings .

All is a dance of matter.

What is something you love about nature?

The vibrancy of nature
The adaptability of creation
The constancy of change
The arresting colours
Unshackling of spirit
The inter connections
Soulful vibes and sounds
Imparting wisdom profound
And not to forget
The enthralling  views
Are all things I love about nature
What about you?

The divinity within

When every breath is a consciousness
In awareness
Of the divine energy of life.

Of its presence in every inhale and exhale.
Between two breaths  and the spaces within.

But this awareness  needs cultivation…

Of  mindful breathing  as a practice for a life time. 
In it is the spirit of life
And our own spirituality… influenced and constituted,  strengthened in each mindful breath
Hopefully…
A work in progress✨️ 🙏✨️
