Seeing light

Your yesterday may have seemed very tough
Your entire body may have taken a toll
Your head and heart may have felt heavy
Your eyes may have welled up in tears
Your emotions choking you
Your breathing may have been constricted
Your muscles may have felt tight. Your steps laboured and dragging
Perhaps a sense of resignment may have reigned all through the day…

Yes it may have been more than you could handle
But handle you did
For you are alive and kicking.
Today your heart is lighter
And you are breathing easy
With a song on your lips
And a dance in your steps
Your body willing
And in enthusiastic spirit Looking forward to another day
To put in your very best
And make it another great day!

The question is then, what is happening in you, one moment to another
And what are you doing to alter the effects of the moment.
And what actually alters everything.
Simply put, your own thoughts
And the power of your choice
Choosing one thought over the other.

Trust life to show many colours every day but know you have the choice in how you choose see and perceive it.

Every day can be good or bad day…
But it’s in the way you chose see it… That changes the day!

Power of Belief

What do you think you deserve?

The answer paves the way

To bring it to your life.

As you intend

You believe.

As you believe

You intend.

You manifest your intentions.

The universe gives you,

As you think and intend.

Your thoughts matter.

Believe well.

Think well intend well.

For it matters more than you know.

The Parodox of Beauty 2

Beauty is what beauty feels

Continuing in a series on Life and Living … The subject of Beauty brings to mind its paradox As mentioned in my last article I would like to reflect on this with my readers and fellow writers and work in collaboration towards a certain consensus if attainable .

Here is a beautiful reflection of the thoughts of this reader who starts by visualizing in the vebalisation of the beauty in the elemental awareness of nature and culminates her standpoint in the beauty of nurture…

Of a mother and child and the beauty in a loving heart.

Thank you to my dear mother Anjana for your exemplary examples. Rest assured I certainly will be reading these lines often.

“Anything that pleases the eye is beautiful..How much exquisite or breath-taking the physical beauty may be… it’s just skin deep. Beyond that all is same.

A wise soul has this awareness. Though the elements may be the same, their arrangement makes the difference. But there is beauty in the wilderness too.

The dancing flames of fire, the eruptive flowing and glowing lava of the volcono, the blowing sand making patterns on the sands of deserts, the mystery that lies in the underground caves, in the depths of the oceans, in the vast space that surround us , there is beauty in everything. A thing of beauty is a joy for ever.

Above all beauty has a connection with love in the heart. Even the so assumed ugliest child looks beautiful to it’s mother. After all beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. Can anything be more beautiful than a compassionate and kind heart that sees goodness in all.”

The lines above have an sensitive emotive and reflective quality which is engagingly beautiful to me.

Cont’d…

Embrace your U- ness

In your uniqueness lies the strength

Of Authenticity

Of Identity

Of Potential

Being you and being true to yourself is the simplest path towards your purpose.

And yet often being you at times can be challenging.

For life can demand much from you and you need to go beyond and bend backwards and forwards to surf through life’s unexpected turns.

But by being true to yourself you are at least sure to have your heart and head in check and balance, where your inner conscience meets your consciousness.

Embrace and embody your U-ness

Little things

To see positive changes
Focus on what is going right
Than all that is not.
For then you are refusing
The joys of this now.
Recognise the little things
That make you happy
As a daily practice
Acknowledge people
Who surround you.
Appreciate the little things.
For happiness resides
In the little things.

Today the softness of the light of dawn, gently warming my face as I woke up made me happy this morning.

Care to share the little things that make you happy?

Pathways to light

Sabhar The way of patience in waiting

Shukar The way of thankfulness in gratitude

There is great wisdom in these two ways to live life lovingly.
Both are pathways in the ebb and flow of life.

To see from nothingness
Is to see possibilities ahead.
To keep hope alive in your heart. Cultivate faith in patience and trust.

To sense gratitude even when you have everything, Is to know that there is much more than what is visible. You are a tiny speck of the magnificent whole. And no life is less or more important. And that every life plays a significant part.

In awareness there is heartfelt thankfulness in contentment for everything you already have.

As you cultivate these habits every day becomes incrementally better.
Or perhaps you begin to understand gradually, the power of managing change rests within you.
Stay patient
Trust yourself.
In thankfulness
See the light
You actually are.

Compassionate connections

The path of compassion knows not separateness

Flowing in love of life in lightness

In the sparks of surging intuition

To be tender & move with compassion

Beyond mankind to all living being.

In the depths of compassion is an understanding

Of another soul in recognition

And sensing the joy and sorrows in reflections.

So join in to experience in embrace of compassion

Beyond intellect and reason and other egoistic delusions

Join the circle of conscious compassion.

Unite with single minded purpose of communion.

Share without fear or favour

All that you divinely revere

As every journey is a reunion

Of the spirit to another in Godliness .

The energy from such an authentic action

Creates oneness and peace

In and around us.

And a sense of belonging

To this vast wide world

Comes in the knowing

Of our owing to this

world and the beings around us.

We are not alone ever …

Works like a prayer…

For life to have meaning.

A Great Leader Knows…

Great leaders know…
It’s about listening, observing identifying and then empowering & developing middle managers to be great leaders of tommorow.

It’s about rewarding people for the right reasons.
And understanding what gets people to work together.

And then creating and sustainable atmosphere for them to work well together.

It’s about finding time to understand the context of what is. And being able to not only envision the big picture but also project it with authenticity and powerfully so.

For in the many small moments of the day there appears many random tests for a leader.

Leadership is not about making everyone like each other. But about making them understand that it takes all of them to be a consistent and collaborative team players.

And most of all getting every one knowing why they are there and clarifying in simple words what the organization is trying to do.

There is a beautiful saying that goes…’ It’s not about having a team of stars
But about having a star team’

And great leaders create star teams…

Healing is in letting go

On Letting go

If you are feeling upset

Let time pass

Hurts will heal again

If you are angry

Let there be pauses

Anger will recede in the silence

If you are defeated

Let yourself know

That the world is a circle

The night breaks into a new dawn

With promises of a blessed new day!

So stay patient in perseverance

And know every phase has a reason to be

Learn to forgive and let go

And as all is meant to be well once again.

Writing is often a very cathartic experience.

Sometimes people unknowningly say things that hurt or upset another.

Today was one of those days. I chanced upon one of my old poems on letting go in forgiveness and it made much sense. I was able to move beyond simply by acknowledging the truth in those verses.

I simply had to share…
