Sharing this read of an impressive story of an Indian entrepreneur Dr Reddy and his dedicated pathways to success.
Any Success is a result of passion that makes you show up no matter what , patience in observing, listening, exploring and understanding. And perseverance to dedicatedly continue what you do as well think of how to sustain it forward.
Life lived well
In passion & purpose
Is a successful life!
Happened to read a profound quote share of Lao Tzu, from
The Tao Teh Ching by my wonderful blogger friend Eddie Two Hawks here https://wp.me/p16fFF-6Ic
Here is my contemplation based on the quote
Close the doors..
Of the chaos of thoughts
Of unnecessary judgements
in the making
Close the doors…
Consciously in the noticing
In mindfulness than mindlessness &
overthinking.
This is the truth of meditation
In all its simplicity
And in all its profoundness.

Take that well deserved break
There is really nothing at stake
Take a moment to just pause and not lead
To breathe in ease ,and not rush without heed
Have a seat … relax and chill
Watch the world go by savouring this moment now at your will
You rushed enough, to more than keep up with time
Time is eternal … is wisdom sublime
Sense the moment that is the Now.
Future will be fine ,every moment just care to love
It as it is, knowing that it is this present
That matters in this very moment …:))

To the truly determined
Opportunity unfolds
In the sustained effort.
To learn anything new
Needs dedicated determination
To understand beyond exploring.
In the will and perseverance
Arrives the point of knowing
And learning continues…
For the truly determined
Nothing can stop the learning.

Words flow, as if they are meant to
Everything that is has a reason why
How they come be and for what
Is also it’s own doing in time.
In bits and pieces in the moments
In a downpour like in a storm
As a spark to ignite hope in the dark
To shed light on the invisible.
Words that flow through you
Arrive in the sensing in clarity
And at times vague from nowhere
In verses, prose or lyrics
In a particular pattern
That seems to self arrange
For only those who it matters
Perhaps afor it to be seen and heard
Words live on in their hearts
As songs of their soul
It makes sense to those who care
To read it in their own way…

We are what our thoughts are.
God came.
Ask me whatever you want.
Ten people asked their desires
First one
Countless money & a big business to run
2nd one
The most powerful position in the world
3rd one
I need fame & fortune like a topmost world famous actor
4th
I have to become the most beautiful person that the whole world becomes mad after me
Like this each of the nine people asked their desires which God gave them immediately.
The tenth person asked
I want the most contented , peaceful & blissful stage which a man can achieve.
The rest of the 9 looked at him laughing.
Peace of mind, contented heart.
For that only we asked whatever we wanted . When we get whatever we wanted peace & contentment will follow.
God looked at them and said I’ve given whatever you all wanted. Now you all can go.
The He turned towards the tenth person and said,
‘you wait here. I need to talk to you. I’ll come after some time. ‘ He left.
Now the rest of the 9 hesitated & stayed back so anxious to know what God is going to give him.
In spite of getting whatever they wanted they became jealous over the man who has not got anything till then.
As time passed, their anxiety grew & they forgot to enjoy what they have got. There went their peace & happiness.
The tenth man waited patiently. He became so peaceful & content that God is coming to talk with him.
Who are we.
The tenth person or
the rest .
Decide.
Our thoughts decide who we are.
Translation from a Tamil social media share by my mother Anjana.
Have shared my artwork here for I felt it was apt for the story above, in depicting the 10th man who is at bliss and peace in the merging of thoughts in divine consciousness.
The path of silence
Creates the space for reflection
And deep contemplation
To query in introspection
Such that you arrive back
Answered by your own self
To flow with life again
Trust the power of silence
Silence shows the way.

In this mixed bag of life’s moments
Sometimes life offers moments when you are pleasantly surprised.
It brings out the possibilities in you.
Creating joy, trust & faith.
Where you look forward to greet the next moment with hope
And other times there are raging storms
Where you are numbed down beyond compare
Where you are unsure of your next move
Trust time to free your mind of doubts
For there is always a reason why
Take every learning as a lesson for life
And know you will learn to weather the storm
Every storm, leaves you stronger than before.
For it leaves a more resilient you…
More capable, more confident more conscious
For you begin to acknowledge your own potential.
As you dare to meet the moments, you begin to meet the potential in you
Every moment makes you more you.
Life experiences can move us as it makes us. Every one has some moments that makes us smile and some that makes us stop and rethink… And in time we realise it was all necessary to make us realise our self.
Do you agree?
Can you remember one moment that made you smile from the heart?
Can you also think of moments, that made you question to understand life?
Did you meet your own strengths along the way?
Do you feel you have evolved along the way?

The wall of the mind
Is in each of us to forge through…
In valuing the space between
Two thoughts, two steps or two notes.
In choosing harmony of synchrony
In conscious awareness
In discerning thoughts & associations.
In response than reaction
In connecting the dots.
In realizing the grace of unity.
All is in sensing the strength
Of the circle of conscious connections.

Poetry is a brilliant trickster
As much a true friend
For it masks the truth cleverly in words
As much as it heals away in the expressions.
In the letting go of dense emotions
Is the channeling towards balance
To the lightness of being
Where there is space created
In between thoughts and actions
For more cathartic connections.
Poetry revives the spirit of the soul
Through soulful words that flow
Out of nowhere explicable
For it has a purpose of its own
In trust know, that it finds itself
The path its meant to be.
Be it poetry or prose, fiction or non fiction, words can be the gamechanger.
How many of you writers agree?

Sky above, earth below, and fire within,
As I stand here,
Under the canopy of twinkling stars in the sky,
Sensing the nourishing earth under my feet,
And the fire ablaze, in the spirit of my soul.
The fire within, I nurture ,
As passion that fuels, my soul
A purpose that ignites, and a will to succeed,
A heart that beats, a dream to be freed.
Watching the sky above, clouds floating by,
Like a bird soaring I choose to fly,
And I wonder of infinite possibilities,
Until the setting sun, draws the moon at night.
I feel the fertile ground
Sense the abundance of nature.
A garden of life.
In every breathing life, is a universe within,
Bountiful beauty, to inspire dreams.
Sky above, earth below and fire within,
A journey of life, with a prayer in hope
To meet the mornings, awaiting the purpose of life.
With the spirit ablaze in my beating heart.

The seed looked up
At the mighty tree in awe
Wondering how it will grow to thrive
And how it will survive in time.
The tree rustled its leaves
In the gentle breeze
Sharing the tender touch
Of the nurturing wind
As if to remind the little seed…
Every mighty tree around
Was once a tiny seed
Blowing in the very same wind
That grew through the seasons
Weathering life’s storms
Learning how to bend and not break
So that it could grow one day
To its fullest potential
Testimony to the power of a planted seed.
Every tree is rooted with a message
Never underestimate the power within
Keep the faith and trust yourself!

Sharing some stark truths of life that came my way on social media
Four Stages of Elimination in Life:
At 60, the workplace eliminates you. No matter how successful or powerful you were during your career, you’ll return to being an ordinary person. So, don’t cling to the mindset and sense of superiority from your past job, let go of your ego, or you might lose your sense of ease!
At 70, society gradually eliminates you. The friends and colleagues you used to meet and socialize with become fewer, and hardly anyone recognizes you at your former workplace. Don’t say, “I used to be…” or “I was once…” because the younger generation won’t know you, and you mustn’t feel uncomfortable about it!
At 80, family slowly eliminates you. Even if you have many children and grandchildren, most of the time you’ll be living with your spouse or by yourself. When your children visit occasionally, it’s an expression of affection, so don’t blame them for coming less often, as they’re busy with their own lives!
At 90, the Earth wants to eliminate you. Some of the people you knew have already departed forever. At this point, don’t be sad or mournful, because this is the way of life, and everyone will eventually follow this path!
Therefore, while our bodies are still capable, live life to the fullest! Eat what you want, drink what you desire, play and do the things you love.
Read as you please…
For I choose to let it go.
What I wrote yesterday
And what I write today
Depends on what inspired
Between the then and now.
Often as a writer
If I take a stand
And my words
Are strong enough
To impact another
In more ways than one…
Simply know I write
With all my heart and soul
And trust myself, to let it go
To make space in me
For more to explore and discover.
As any poet will,
I witness and listen
To each moment
As it plays out
And I sense and feel
When I think and write…
Choose not to see me
In these words,
What I will write about next
Is mystery to me too…
For as any creative artist
I may choose to make words dance
For me and for you..
Different dances
For different days
Some light and breezy
Some deep and intense.
Sometimes words emerge
Out of nowhere
To self arrange themselves
All I do is follow the flow…
Sometimes these words strike
A chord deep in you and me
And that is where the words
Find their purpose to be.
Words are mere words
Feelings make all the difference
And feelings differ day to day…
So read my words, as you please
For I choose to let it go.
