Imagination begins with thoughts There is great power in imagination Imagination can heal or hurt Stemming from infinite abundance. Imagination draws from nature & nurture.
In thinking out of the box Raw & unstructured or uncontrollable Resulting in unexpected creativity Exploring potential possibilities. Thoughts in a flow, forming patterns Shapes moulding within a structure
Meandering like a river Or bursting like a volcano Uncontrollable & quite unexpectedly Often chaotic and welling up the feelings.
Imagination seeks to find its own path
Much of imagination is forgotten soon Or gets lost in translation.
When imagination is reinforced In strength of inate potential of being There is hope for inspirational creativity When imagination is reigned In fear and ridicule There is chance of darkness of morbidity Creating doubts and uncertainties.
Your Imagination is who you are Imagination manifests through you Yet in steering imagination Creativity is born. The source of thoughts arise from within You have the choice to steer the course In mindfulness the path of imagination Can be witnessed and channeled.
The journey of imagination Take you places you have never been.
Betwixt & beyond the illusions & reality Through dimensions of time & space To the quantum truths of your being In expressing, exchanging imagination.. Innovations are possible. The magic is all in the imagination What matters is where you want to go!
My post The journey of imagination is simply a flow of thoughts from reading your post and a few comments. So a humble dedication of this post back to you.Thank you my friend 🙏
Every continent has become an island in itself, Every country has become a fort in itself, Every state has become a prison in itself, Every city has become a jail in itself, Every family live in confinement , Every member is confined to their solitary cell.
Afraid to travel, afraid to meet, Afraid to hug ,all in their own cell.
Nature endowed us with power to protect. Our selfish greed ,ego and pride put us in this unfathomable pit. What we have done to ourselves. In the name of research n development We have ended up in our own hell.
Never cross boundaries with Nature None can stand its powerful nature. The lessons learnt are never to forget. All long for the bygone past wandering freely in spaces vast, Celebrating occasions mingling with relations.
Humble down to Cosmic rules Simple joys will surface in our pools .
If you are in a position of leadership and influence, consider it your responsibility to keep your team motivated consistently.
Every career experience is deeply significant in understanding and expanding your vision. As a Consultant & Mentor, my years as a Ballroom Dance Educator & Trainer have been truly insightful in understanding teamwork and collaboration and the values of direction and motivation from a leadership perspective in team performance.
Here are a few tips to manage & motivate your team.
Attitude: A team is a set of individuals who are meant to align towards a vision and mission. Start of by getting the hiring process right. Hire the people with the right attitude.
Connection : Begin to connect with your team with genuine interest in their work plan, issues and tasks at hand. You are more likely to understand the pain points, their strengths and find proper resolutions
Trust building : Building trust in your team starts with a leader who knows when to engage and when to back off. Trust creates responsibility and makes team members accountable.
Safety : A team that is ensured, mental, physical, social, environmental safety feels well-supported. Understand how important it is for every member to sense the safety so that your team can take steps with confidence.
Respect: Give respect to get respect. Create a platform to collaborate without character assaults and biased opinions.Always remember there is the benefit of doubt.
Non-judgmental : Avoid & Reduce personal bias and judgements in assumptions from affecting your team. Be inclusive and create a diversity in the team such that it becomes a source of strength.
Attention: Care to pay attention and nurture your team. Be available and wholly present to guide, mentor your teams through their tasks and issues. But reduce dependencies.
Appreciation: Last but not the least care to celebrate their small & large wins, take time to appreciate the good work.
Two ways of thinking…. Familiarity breeds contempt While the absence makes the heart fonder.
One…
All seems wonderful in the beginning As time goes by time takes its toll. Straining the togetherness Cracking apart at its seams Creating distances and gaps that grow Making the memories sustain in hope Or seek a closure in forgetfulness.
Two…
In isolation and silence Seeds of thoughts find time to germinate In both exclusion or seclusion The heart longs for companionship The thoughts turn to fond remembrances Of bygone memories of the good times Life tries to recall & recreate those times. To salvage what is left and cherish Knowing the priceless treasures it brings. Hence the absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Life moves on and finds new beginnings Yet in adaptability & flexibility Nature continues its pathway All comes a full circle. Such is the circle of life.
A short post and photograph caught my eye and I was drawn to pen a few words. https://wp.me/p7CppQ-Cc Thank you Mark Bierman for the wonderful inspiration.
Strength of Silence Silence is Strength in its subtlety Fragile and yet full of potential Expanding consciousness in awareness Tremendous growth occurs in Silence Explore the Silence of the soul and spirit.
Silence is powerful beyond compare Start your journey to understand the self In the sounds of silence Wisdom speaks Silence listens without a word.
A Chinese business man was thinking whom to hand over his business out of his 3 sons. He thought of a way to find their talent. He told his sons he, who sells more combs to the buddhist monastery will be the one who will head his business. Initially the sons were perplexed how to sell combs to the monks who do not grow hair. After the specific time given to them, father called his sons to know about their achievements. First one told I sold 2 combs. How asked the father. I told them the comb can be used to scratch their backs. 2 monks bought it.
Well. What about you , father asked the next one. I sold 10 combs. How asked the surprised father. I told the monastery. that the people visit with dishevelled hair because of the strong winds on the way which is a disrespect to lord Buddha. If they keep a mirror & some combs at the entrance it will help people. They agreed & bought 10 combs. The merchant praised his son .
Third son said I sold 1000 combs. The merchant was in awe. I went to the head monk n told since they receive a lot of donations, it would be a nice gesture, if they give something like a blessing to the donors. What can we give asked the head monk. I showed him the combs with Buddha’s sayings inscribed on it & said since they use comb everyday it will be a reminder of teachings every time they use. . He agreed & ordered for 1000 combs with Buddha’s teachings inscribed.
No need to guess who took over the business from father.
All will think it is impossible to sell combs to the monks.
In life also we may face certain impossible situations . If we become disheartened then it means we have accepted defeat.
The 3 sons showed us 3 different ways of thinking.
First one thought what other way the comb can be used n sold 2.
Second one thought who other than the monks can use the comb n thought of the visitors . He was able to sell 10.
But it was a one time sale n no further sale in these lines will work out.
The third son also thought on same lines like the second, but with a difference. He modified the product as a gift wiith Buddha’s blessings to the donors. With the increase of donors , his sale will also increase.
So never accept defeat or think that coming out of difficult situations is impossible, start thinking differently. Expand ur vision from different angles. Think to bring some small changes which will bring great results.
No one to buy tomatoes, dumped in garbage. No price for cabbage. Used as manure in fields Bananas , radish thrown on the streets . We read many such news.
The knowledge we have in farming, we don’t have in business. Pickles, chips, jam dried vegetables, so many other ways to make them profitable. Instead of throwing or wasting, think what else use it can be put into. Learn to approach the correct persons. , through co operative farming or combined business.
Learn to change impossible situations to positive opportunities.
With patience , faith, hardwork n vigour if u start working , the impossible situation will become the foundation for a future big success.
Never bow down to initial negativities or accept defeat.
Expand your vision & focus.
Live with hope & positivity.
