A Reason To Be

Sometimes you sense
Life taking you to places
Leading you to pathways  Moving towards you.
Sometimes you notice
Signs that speak to you
Appearing and disappearing. From anywhere to nowhere.
It’s for you to understand
The significance of the signs
Now is the time to free your mind,
To listen in keen awareness,
And trust in the Universe There is always a reason
Nothing is coincidental.

Think well

Did I offer peace today? Did I bring a smile to someone’s face? Did I say words of healing? Did I let go of my anger and resentment? Did I forgive? Did I love? These are the real questions. I must trust that the little bit of love that I sow now will bear many fruits, here in this world and the life to come.
Henri Nouwen

Came across these words which can serve as a great reminder.

Good thoughts makes way for a good day…
Think well.

Beautiful You

Beauty is a very subjective term inspite of all the objectification that goes on in the name of beauty.

Beautiful you

Every age has a charm

Of its own doing

Every life is beautiful

In its own way!

What to speak of a lifetime?

Think & know

Think One positive thought

In an array of thoughts

Imagine it and it manifests

And every time you do

Know you are creating joy

Within and around you.

Nature finds its way

We are what we are
With the possibilities for evolution
Inside us all.
And yet each arrives at their own time
To the journey meant for them
To carve a path that they are meant to.
Life never claims to be fair
Life is as is
It is within us to know
What to hold on to hone, or set free
For nature is always in flow
And true nature always finds its way.

Acknowledgement

How to see the good

When bad is doing the round

To bring the good in focus

Perhaps you need to search

For it in their way of being

In the visible & hidden nature

There is much that happens

In the circumstances

And much that goes invisible

For it cannot be expressed

For it is seen as a weakness

To be vulnerable

To be sensitive & emote

Are qualities that are negated

For it makes ones life difficult

But life has many shades

The very weakness for one

Can be a strength for another

It’s all in the way we see it.

Every life is precious

With many gifts of nature

It is in us to acknowledge.

On Success

Success is an interesting journey and not a destination
The more you sense the bigger picture
You lovingly loose yourself in something hat is bigger than yourself…
The greater your energy
and the closer you are to where you want to be.
Success is within each of us waiting for us to make a
move towards it.

The way of trust

Have you ever wondered

About the purpose of being…

You come into this world bearing gifts
To live the life you have.

Your soul your spirit, your energy
You have the power of thoughts

These gifts are yours
Use them well in life

You are blessed with uniqueness
You are ordained to manifest all you deeply intend.

Your soul is fired by your spirit
Your passion is fired by your purpose.

Simply trust your heart
It knows the way!

Life is in this cup of now

How do you fill your cup of life?

How often?

What makes you happy?

Filling the cup of life cannot happen

Without making space to enjoy life’s moments

Let the cup of life overflow

In the sharing of joy

The cup of Now:

Create space in your cup of time

For solitude and reflections

Allow yourself to make sense

Of moments without overwhelm.

Take a moment to pause…

And begin to enjoy the sip of this cup in this now.

For life is in this cup of now.

Valuing Family

In every relationship

Family, friendship or at work

All is a matter of values

We inculcate through life.

https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7045730457279221760?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_android

When it all starts from respect

And ends with respect.

There is dignity of being

In a world distanced in reality

By technology and internet

Increasing the screentimes

And enslaving people

There is much need

To use it to our advantage

Than be redundant with it.

On Trustfulness

A changing world


In this world of metaverses and advanced technology where emotional connects  brings us closer, no matter the actual physical  distance, building & sustaining trustfulness, integrity becomes paramount benchmarks  for buisnesses in digital space. Companies that can understand this need and work around it by providing clarity of information and create experiences with strong data securities will have an advantage. Even terms and policies on user data needs transparent communication.


On the other hand the question  remains  how the world will adapt to new ways of work with avatars taking prominence over actual humans. The lines of real and virtual are truly interweaved. While this generation born in a digital world is synced in with the changes like AI storming in to our life, the earlier  generation is still reeling with trust issues with digital technology.

Changing Times…

Times are changing and how, from a generation that grew up without phones & computers…   to a world  that knows not to be, without a mobile phone & laptops!

Trustful Connections


In all this change, there is still one element of truth that is consistently evident.
The need for  human connection. As development improves the way we interact with one another it is getting extremely important to feel a sense of trust.The way of work has higher need for transparency along with the responsibility.And that is creating more interdependence and collaborative styles of work.
Autocracy has to move to meritocracy for trust to be formed. For we are in one way or other coming to terms of living in a world  where everyone can function from anywhere at the touch of button and can be informed and aware in real time.

Sustainability

Challenges are plenty but solutions are also clear.Leading the change building trust. Creating and sustaining better relationships.It’s all in us, the way we behave interact and live each moment. Trust takes time to form and be instilled. Once trust is gained it becomes a gamechanger. In any successful relationship be it professional or personal, it is important to understand the need to cultivate and sustain efforts towards trustful connections.

Balancing Life

No matter how busy you think you are

There is always space to learn and understand more

Space to grow and evolve

And it all starts with a little shift in perspective.

A little rebalancing from the way things are…

Work & life

It often amazes me to see the adulation that certain people have for being the first to arrive and last to leave their workplace. I wonder if anyone has cared to check how their families feel about this?

Many on the so called respected and admired list, are people who are workaholics, burning out by the minute.

They are there, working beyond the call of duty perhaps out of personal passion, sense of ownership and responsibility or even perhaps because they feel they can’t afford to fail, may be even because it gives them an edge of pride to be known as some one who is committed.

However life is about balance and simply put, more of one leads to less of another. The trick is the wisdom of balance and steering clear of extremes.

To every workaholic out there here are few reflections…

☆Avoid stretching yourself too thin.You are already on razors edge and you are hurting one part of your life, if you continue to do what you do. Reclaim your life. Find other passions and take care of your health. Stay safe than sorry.

☆Your personal life is at stake and is also your responsibility.

☆Bringing home the money and comforts is just one half of the whole. Your family is best nurtured by your loving presence in their lives.

☆Your absence at home and family/ social affairs is missed at first and then adapted with along the way to a point of being indifferent to your presence in time. Because you are never there for them.

☆ At a certain point in life, lack of care and connection begins to show and no amount of money can be valued over time .

☆Money cannot buy love they say and it certainly becomes true, as people begin to use you for your money and you will never feel fulfilled and content after spending it.

☆Everything around you becomes materialistic to the point of manipulation and its your own doing as you threw in the money and comforts where ever and whenever your time was required or requested.

☆Relationships become meaningless without a sense of togetherness. Missing out time with another in the excuse of being busy for years will take a toll on personal life. People will get used to you not being around for them and then expecting them to be there for you when you need them is a selfish ask.

☆Your children will be affected by your continued absence . Your presence in their growing years is very important for their holistic well being. Your partner will be angry or isolated with you. And expecting things to be different as you continue your ways is not going to change anything.

☆However in recognizing the signs of workaholic and your choosing to balance different aspects of your life will start making a meaningful difference.

☆For starters acknowledge your value for your time and energy.

☆Speaking of your energy , if you have spent most of your day at work , how will you find yourself able to give more of you as you have exhausted yourself

☆Recognize where it’s slipping away and start to chalk out a balancing plan. It can transform your life and those around you.

☆Find moments that are solely yours and use it for your personal development.

☆Your career is only one part of your life. It helps you sustain your life but the relationships you have nourishes you. Without it you have no true sense of purpose.

☆If you are one of those who are thinking of grabbing opportunities and climbing the corporate ladder acknowledge that you may possibly often have an unsatisfactory family relationship at the end of it all.

☆Your passion for your work may begin to affect your health watch out early signs of strain and stress and care to take help .

Thankfully today the world is more aware of work week and many countries are Consciously doing something about it. How it affects productivity in time will be seen and how much it could contribute to work life balance, but it definitely is time reclaimed for family.

The truth is its about prioritization of what’s important for well-being in life. Personal and professional lives both are important and have demands that need your time. So balance is the key.

On flexibility

An interesting epic story with profound thoughts

“Tongue in Teeth……”

Strolling through the streets of Lanka at night, Hanuman was taken aback when he heard the chants of Sriram coming from a home.

They were not loud but whispers through the windows.

Hanuman wondered who could be chanting my Lord’s name in the city ruled by Ravan.

The house had a cluster of Tulsi plants outside and the walls had signs of Sri Hari.

Just then a man opened the front door and came out chanting the Holy Name.

The Sky was Starlit and it was couple of hours before Dawn.

The man offered water to the Tulsi plants, while performing a Circumbulation.

Hanuman hopped and stood before him, folding his hands.

The man introduced himself as Vibhishana, brother of Ravan.

Hanuman asked

“It baffles me: you are a devotee and a Noble Soul.

How on Earth you live among the Demons? “

Vibhishan smiled and said

“Just as the tongue lives in the mouth with thirty two teeth biting and grinding, around it, not only does the tongue remain untouched, it enjoys all the taste”.

The very food that sits and rolls on the tongue is chewed to a pulp by the teeth and yet this snaky little thing escapes unscathed.

Only time it is hurt is when we have a lapse of mindfulness.

Why?

Philosophically the chief difference is, flexibility.

The tongue’s flexibility is the key to its longevity.

That’s why it gets the taste while the teeth get Root canals and Cavities

They fall too or pulled out!.

But no one loses their tongue.

The tongue teaches…….

Others may grind and bite but you can still enjoy life if you are flexible.

Everything will hurt less, bother less if we loosen up a bit.. then an Avalanche of Peace and Joy is triggered.

If you want lasting Peace and Joy, learn from your tongue and live like it. Befriend it. Tame it. It has a great bearing on your relationship.
