On Goals

What kinds of goals do you set for yourself?

How often do you set goals?

Do you often check on your goals ?

How inspired do you feel by these goals?

Do you feel motivated by your own goals?

Do you often stretch your goals ?

Do they challenge you to do more?

The goals you set for yourself

Speak much about you and your nature

The goals you set ought to lead you

Towards a journey in faith and belief

In trust and in synch

With your convictions of your intentions

Aim high as you set your goals

And reach out some more .

Evolve yourself as you grow

Love

When you love deeply

You begin to respect life

In all forms that you see

You revere the omnipresence

You wonder about abundance in awe

Your life becomes more meaningful

For there is so much more to understand

About Life in the living

You become more present in the moment

Every now has immense potential

And you begin to live than simply exist

Live life lovingly!

Channelling the flow

Whatever you resist persists

Steer away from impulsive resistance

Yes while resistance is natural in life

Resistance may create tension

Yet it can be a signal of change

In channelling this very resistance.

In allowing to let go completely

Soon tension eases in the flow

In perseverance & patience.

In response than reaction

Creating positive transmutation.

In thoughts words and deeds

Sifting & sailing through your perspectives

Till harmony becomes you.

Life gives unto life

Cage not the spirit of a bird
If you truly want to hear
The soul song of a bird


Plant a tree…
For life gives unto life
Such is nature of nature

Hope Against Hope

We brave the chances

We take the risks

We endure the worst

For we know the world is round

All is meant to flow

And hence there is heartfelt hope

In the most difficult moments

Simply know hope is here to stay

On Heartfulness

When life seem a little too chaotic

When time seems to zip past us

When you wish to pause and reflect

Can you begin to see with your heart

For the heart comes along with truth

Of the being betwixt all the frenzy & fear

The heart emotes and senses

In all authenticity and intuition

Choose heartfulness

Allow yourself to tune in to hear

The beat of the not so distant drummer

Be ready to listen to its beat in synchrony

For heart knows the path of the being.

Change is the only constant

We are all part of change

Speak of

Changing brains and body

Changing minds and hearts

Changing needs and wants

Processing change…


Is about letting in and letting  go
There is a sense of giving and receiving
A sense of gain and a sense of  loss


In acknowledgement and acceptance
Of the course of nature
In the circle of life


Our body intelligence
Helps in evolving  the self awareness
To  be adaptive and amenable to change


For change is the only constant

Messenger of Peace

Wherever you are

Be a messenger of peace

Sense the hope that peace brings

In its wake, life regenerates.

Peace Matters More

We all fight…

For what we believe to be right

Yet sometimes we need to see

What is happening in and around us

Are we building or destructing?

Are we going to the point of no return

Engaging without rethinking

The point of it all…

How many battles do you wish you had backed out?

How many do you wish you had withdrawn?

How many arguments do you think you could have avoided?

Have you felt totally drained after a war of words?

How many times have you sensed the pointlessness of such a debate?

Sometimes it’s better to withdraw than fight

When you sense the futility of war

Be selective what you choose to focus on

The choice rests with you

Choose peace over war

For peace matters more.

The Wisdom Of Letting Go

“By letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try, the world is beyond winning.” – Lao Tzu

Trying to win is good

But when that very trying

Is consuming the life out of you

Would you think it over?

We teach ourselves

To try and try until we win

But there is always a point of tipping over.

Knowing when to bend so you do not break

Is a lesson in letting go…

When you are able to discern the detachment dispassionately

When you are able to rise beyond comparisons & competitions

When you are able to sense the contentment in what you have

You are meeting your true Self

For you are able to acknowledge in acceptance

The truth of what truly matters

In the learning to let go

You have witnessed there is abundance

In the circles of being there is always more

What is, was and will be

Always has a reason yet to understand

There is wisdom in the letting go!

Learning to live

Are you feeling you are trying to live

Between the raindrops?

Or maybe you feel

You are surviving between the rapids

For life is not always a bed of blooms.

Is there a trick to the whole process?

To thrive from between to the beyond

To live through the unfolding journey.

Waltzing through without warping up

Smiling throught it all

Singing the song of hope than remorse

Question yourself

Is it just a matter of priorities

What truly matters after all?

What makes for a life

That’s worth its while?

All one needs to do is experience the journey

Because the destination takes care of itself!

Life

One who knows the worth of life

Cannot afford to waste

Even a single moment of life

Care to take a step

Towards a more meaningful life.

Every now is awaiting your awareness

To envision the potential within

Every new day is a gift of possibilities

Care to make today count!

Invisible Master

When we become conscious of time
It moves very slowly.
When we are immersed in something time flies.
When our thoughts wander on its own
Again time moves fast.
We never know how long we are lost in our own idle thoughts
That time took a backseat.
When we are asked to meditate or observe our breath
Time never moves,
Those 5 minutes never seems to end.
When we know all the answers
Time flies
Whereas when we go blank
Time never cease.
When waiting for someone we love
Time extends
While in their presense it flies

5 minutes or 5 hours
The duration remains the same.
What makes the difference is
our mind,
the master co ordinator
It can bend time at its will
Lengthy or short as it wants.
Make us it’s slave without our own awareness.
We assume what it wants us to think as our own.
Be it time , emotions or our understanding.
Such is the power of this invisible master.

When we learn the
Art of mastering this master
Time stands still.
Seamless transfer of Now
Ever being in the present.

Favourite music

On song writing:

“We human beings are tuned such that we crave great melody and great lyrics. And if somebody writes a great song, it’s timeless that we as humans are going to feel something for that and there’s going to be a real appreciation.” -Art Garunkel

What is great music to you?

Is it the song how it sounds to you ?

Do you pay attention to the lyrics?

Sometimes great lyrics alone don’t make a great song,

And often great song has hardly any depth to its lyrics

So what are your favorite or evergreensongs the ones you listen to always?

What is it that makes it, to your favorite list?

Tweak your approach tweak your life

Your approach changes everything
The way you live
The way you work
The way you play
Choose to look forward to finding the joy
In whatever you do
If you can find something to better
Something to improve from

Something to grow and expand potential
Then by all means focus on it
Spend time to learn possibilities
Making work  feel better than before
Find the meaning & purpose
In whatever you do
Work to make a positive difference 
Tweak your approach tweak your life
