Like the sky above,
Be expansive,
Unfurl your imagination,
Extend yourself, reach beyond knowing.
Like the earth below,
Be connected,
Yet stay rooted to the ground,
Have the steadfastness like the earth.
Like the fire within,
Be spirited,
Let your passion speak,
Explore life and give it your all.

They say it’s what you do that matters
But it’s the thought that counts
Can we choose one thought over other
Yes we can in mindfulness
Being aware is the first step
The choice rests with you
For you are your thoughts
As much as your deeds .
Savvy
Between the then and the yet to come
Is the moment of now.
Honour this space.
The bygone no longer matters;
The future is yet unknown.
Be present in this moment
Of infinite possibilities
For what is unfolding is in this now;
Life is truly here in this now.
In thoughts, words and deeds,
Attend to this space that is —
Honour the beauty of the betwixt.

Whenever I come across a heart touching action, or a prose ,a poem or quote I will be sharing it here in this series…
Some people make the world a better place by their thoughts words and deeds...
Sharing a touching story of truths of life and living…
THE HAPPIEST MAN
When Billionaire Femi Otedola in a telephone interview, was asked by the radio presenter, “Sir what can you remember made you the happiest man in life?”
Femi said: “I have gone through four stages of happiness in life and finally I understood the meaning of true happiness.”
The first stage was to accumulate wealth and means. But at this stage I did not get the happiness I wanted.
Then came the second stage of collecting valuables and items. But I realized that the effect of this thing is also temporary and the lustre of valuable things does not last long.
Then came the third stage of getting big projects. That was when I was holding 95% of diesel supply in Nigeria and Africa. I was also the largest vessel owner in Africa and Asia. But even here I did not get the happiness I had imagined.
The fourth stage was the time a friend of mine asked me to buy wheelchair for some disabled children. Just about 200 kids.
At the friend’s request, I immediately bought the wheelchairs. But the friend insisted that I go with him and hand over the wheelchairs to the children. I got ready and went with him.
There I gave these wheel chairs to these children with my own hands. I saw the strange glow of happiness on the faces of these children. I saw them all sitting on the wheelchairs, moving around and having fun.
It was as if they had arrived at a picnic spot where they are sharing a jackpot wining.
I felt real joy inside me. When I decided to leave one of the kids grabbed my legs. I tried to free my legs gently but the child stared at my face and held my legs tightly. I bent down and asked the child: Do you need something else?
The answer this child gave me not only made me happy but also changed my attitude to life completely. This child said: “I want to remember your face so that when I meet you in heaven, I will be able to recognize you and thank you once again”.
What would you be remembered for after you leave that office or place?
Will anyone desire to see your face again where it all matters?
Think! Live your life in a manner that others desire to see your face again.
Every skill can be taught and learned
But the truth of being is in our ways.
To be authentic to ourselves
To have and live with integrity
To be compassionate & care
To be kind and considerate
Most of all to be true to yourself…
Be a good human
And be humane.
You will find the best version of you!

Beyond the sum of our senses
Exists a field of potential,
Embodying possibilities.
Beyond fear and doubts
Exists a space for courage,
Emitting energy in hope and faith.
Myriad thoughts may fill our minds;
All is an illusion in the imagination.
If we wish to see it so,
There is always more
Beyond the dark; envisage the light
Unlearn the lessons taught,
Invoke the curiosity of your inner child,
Step back and see the bigger picture.
Rays of light will find their way!

From the architect of time, the source creator came a space of nothingness (akash)from space came matter (energy) from matter came movement (wind, air) from movement came fluidity (flow, water) from fluidity came existence from existence emanated the spirit of life (the breath of life, fire passion).
The elements existence are a guide in an acknowledgement of the interdependence. An awareness of interconnections in an acceptance that everything exists in the subtlety of balance.
The spirit of life and living is the bridge to our calling &purpose of being. As well as in the journey of the being. The path is and will be ours and yet not just ours.
Every move in time is interlinked in the bridge of time that we were, are and will be on. The bridge of time is in eternal cycle of motion. All matter constitutes one or more of the elements in different proportions.
While the mind of the matter perceives it in thoughts, the heart of the matter senses. Mindful thoughts and heartfelt feeling are both real and unreal all at the same time. And consciousness is the bridge of awareness between the extrinsic and the intrinsic, between the learning and the knowing.
And in this understanding is the realization whole and complete of all as it is .

On Balance & Imbalances
Balance..
Enables evenness
In distribution
Ensures equality in varied elements
Or even propelling proportionality.
Empowers a sense of steadiness.
Without lose of control
Balance is grace in movement
Balance is grace in stillness too
Balance is also about being in equipoise
In envisioning or even in the sensing
A state of equanimity in the being.
Where all is well.
Yet the irony of balance
Is the equilibrium is subjective
To the opposition to balance
In a state of unrest and uncertainties
Doubts and fear creep in unexpected
Creating imbalances in its own path
Little knowing the state of balance
Are the very reason for wellbeing.

Life is what you make of it!
It can be the way you choose it to be!
It is a reflection of your state of being.
Life is heaven or hell in this now
Truly beautiful or unbearable
All in the how you want to see it.
It’s not about perfection
For nobody’s perfect
Life & living can be perfectly Imperfect
Seek excellence if you must
Seek to be the best version of you!
And find the wonderful in today!

Truly profound distinctions between #Intelligence and #Wisdom
Sharing this beautiful read I came across
To life …. in all its dancing glory 🙂
To being all that one can be!
To changing & evolving for the better
To creating hope & possibilities
To exploring the seemingly impossible
To envisioning the capabilities
For life is best lived in expression
Of all that one can be!
So yes to life and living!

Every now presents you with a choice
To be & do what you can
Every moment is full of potential
To engage with possibilities
Truly there is much more beyond
To know and understand
Every thing begins with a choice
And the choice rests with you.
Savvy
Life is
Inexplicable Uncertainty in the now
Undefinable Strength in the moment
Unimaginable challenges that arise
Infinite possibilities in the potential
Unstoppable hope in the living
Be it in Strength or weakness
Threats to opportunities
Life shapes and moulds in experience
Be it desires, wants or needs
Life is a journey unto itself
Life is a circle in the living.

Wonderful vocabulary and ingenious indeed!
The human genius behind the pen, has an eloquence in expressing thoughts as much as a methodically structured brain to have attempted this.
Yet I wonder about the creativity of writers….
What makes every writer so very unique?
Simply saying the uniqueness of thoughts is just one part of the equation
There is always more than what meets the eye, there are some life experiences, the books that are read, the nature of nurture, the kind that leaves a certain impression, all that perhaps leaves a diversity of imprints, interespersing the imagination with potent possibilities in the musings.
Every writing has a certain uniqueness of manifestation that unfolds the magic of thought patterns in the structuring and presenting.
From simple to compound to complexity of sentence structures, the choice and arrangement of words and phrases penned, can be both, subtle and stark indicators of the spirit and soul behind the words.
Every writing leaves a soul print.
And every writing can be a journey back home unto the self!

Discipline may come from education.
But the ability to stay on path is a habit
Education may steer us to discipline.
But discipline takes dedication.
To adhere to the path on you own.
What do you think?
