If every hour were to be a cup
That would hold what you pour
What what you pour into the cup?
If every cup were to be
As they are meant to be,
Which cups would be full?
And which stark empty?

On happiness
Everyone has a different idea of true happiness.
What do you think you need to be truly happy?
Is it love?
Is it hope?
Is it purpose?
Is it inclusion?
Is it health?
Is it material or non material?
I do think happiness is an inside job.
We are responsible for our happiness.
Feel free to share your thoughts on happiness.

On Managing Anger
One moment of anger
Can wreak havoc on your health
Take a moment to pause
When you sense anger
Make a habit to breathe
Out your anger
Inhale a breathe of peace
And exhale the anger away…
For both cannot coexist.
Make space for peace within.
“Anger is like a storm rising up from the bottom of your consciousness. When you feel it coming, turn your focus to your breath.
Thich Nhat Hanh
Breathe in peace
Exhale out anger
Inside you, let peace prevail
Over moments of anger…

Power of Water
Power of Water
Gentle yet forceful
Soft yet unstoppable
Focused no matter the fluidity
Carving streams eroding rocks
Strengthened in adaptability
Transformative in the flow.
Harness the power of the flow

A blessing in disguise
On Sensitivity
Every life is unique
And each of us on this planet
Have different personality traits
Our heart and mind is wired
In infinitely different ways.
An acknowledgment of the uniqueness to life
Makes us understand how valuable we each can be.
A little sensitivity goes a long way…
Although people cannot be compartmentalised
There are many ways nature and nurture impacts
Some hardened by life in resilience
Some suppress their emotions
Causing imbalances within
Some sensitive to sense the subtler energies
And Some who wear their heart on their sleeves
Expressing emotions and feelings away…
It can be challenging
For they also hurt easily.
For they sense a flood of emotions
They are often extremely receptive
As well as empathic in their sensing.
And often quick to understand
Perhaps they are blessed with subtlety
Of perception & awareness
With a highly developed intuition
For they are sensitive & emotional beings
They are who they are as they are.
Sensitivity can be blessing in disguise
Yet Sensitivity makes us humane
In the way we relate with the world
The planet needs sensitive souls
Who care a little more
Who sense and feel in empathic ways.
Let’s never discount this gift & virtue
In these sensitive souls.
For how we sense and feel
Affects what path and actions we choose to take.
And the world around is but a reflection of who we are

We are…
We are
Sprinkling of star dust
Sparkling from we are
We are meant to shine our light
In this beautiful world
For we are made of stars!

There is great power
In being yourself
You will know
You are enough
To be all that you are

When you arrive at being comfortable being yourself,and in front of others, your gifts will shine through and you will make a positive impact on this world.
All it takes is being the authentic you!

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…

Happiness
A great share to remind yourself to check your current state of being. .
If only happiness can be summed up…
How easy it would seem!
But happiness can be elusive
When summoned it is often fleeting
But being able to take stock of your being
Will keep you aware
Of how much happiness is an inside job…

The choice is yours
Life colours itself the way we choose to see it.
What we focus on, finds us.
Choose to focus on the good
Life begins to feel good.
Between the many colours
Of life’s journey…
What do you choose to focus on?

Treasure of happiness
Try to make at least one person happy every day. If you cannot do a kind deed, speak a kind word. If you cannot speak a kind word, think a kind thought.
Count up, if you can, the treasure of happiness that you would dispense in a week, in a year, in a lifetime!
Lawrence G. Lovasik
Loved the message in the quote…Build a treasure of happiness.
A Great Share
Ever Grateful for a powerful caption that once caught my eye
“Don’t bite more than you can chew….”
Denotes the wisdom of moderation in life and living. To know a cut off point
Is to know where to draw the line between exhaustion and excitement.
Simply taking on more work or responsibility or trying to multitasking beyond your abilities and capacities is self defeating.
So only commit to what you truly can deliver .
Not less not more.
So grateful to have read this many years ago and consistently practice this learning.
Happy to share this piece of advice that is my mindful reminder before taking on more.

Be happy
How important is it to be happy to you?
How do you find happiness?
How important is it to choose the people you want spend your life with?
Can you be happy with someone only you love?
Or can you be happy with someone who loves you more than you?
It’s a choice that rests with you, as to what you choose to do.
Stay on hoping they will love you back someday, someway
Or choose to work on yourself and become a happy person.
It’s all within you!
And you can choose to be happy.

Unique pathways
We are uniquely ordained by nature yet so very interconnected that we can find versions of ourselves time and time again as reflections in the resonance.
For what we see in another is a reflection of our own lives, that is unique yet self similar in manifestations .
We all duel and pass through these reflections in our lives at different times in our own special ways.
Every life has its own reason to be. A purpose of being. Every life has its own story Every life unfolds in its own way.

The Power of the Heart
Power is of two kinds. One is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent then the one derived from fear of punishment.
Mahatma Gandhi
The Power of the Heart
What is your kind of power?
Power of Influence
Where your charisma
And your words and behavior
Hold them in sway
And allows you to lead
Or is it Dominance
Where your overt assertion
Makes you take charge
Wherever you are
Do you lead with your heart
Or is it all about the mind
The way you weild your power
Speaks much of you as a person
Are you powerful enough
To let love be felt & expressed
To have patience in waiting
To listen keen to what’s unsaid
To know that being gentle is strength.
Always remember the path of the heart
Is far powerful than the mind.
For its far expansive it knows the way.
