I read these two lines by Stan Smith today…
Experience tells you what to do
Confidence allows you to do it .
Will also add…
And patience paves the path.
For all that you need
Will reveal itself in time.
Trust yourself to deliver.
Sharing my photo of a beautiful bloom from my garden…for who better than a flower to express this truth of life.
Think well & trust you.

Beyond the glitter and glory
Power has a parodoxical equation.
Power can be constructive and yet corruptive.
Those with the power know only too well…
Uneasy lies the head that wears the Crown
Tentacles of power
Seeping from within,
Surging of the webbed grasp
The unnerving truth of rigidity
The vicelike grip of conformity
The stronghold of absolute authority
The merciless and binding royalty.
Expectations of undivided loyalty.
The Crown bears the burden
Often silently withholding expressions.
The choice rests with the wearer of the crown 👑
Yet …
When passion drives the power with a larger purpose beyond self in perseverance and patience
Power becomes a priceless responsibility
Such is the paradox of power

This caption caught my eye. Sharing my thoughts…
Agreed finding the self is the key
In every moment of living.
For living it purposefully.
Yet the question remains…
How?
To find yourself
And be alive to life in every now.
Simply be
Be present to the moment
Give it your full attention
Acknowledge what is in this now
Be open to possibilities
Allow space to accept
What is.
Know what is, is not all.
There is much potential in you
That is awaiting your awareness
Breathe in hope and let fear go
This way you consciously create
Space to grow.
To allow perspectives
To be inspired
To aspire in hope…
And be all that you can be.
Any other answers?
Do share your thoughts.

Today as all Indians celebrate 75 glorious years of Indian Independence…
Let us take an oath to value the ‘Dignity of life’ today and forevermore.
For every life deserves the ‘Dignity of Being’ with a freedom to be respected as they are , a freedom to be able to express, freedom to be valued and feel safe and secure, as every other life.
Happy Independence Day!

Musings on the Metaverse & More…
Acknowledge…
Betwixt and between
The you & I,
The us and the we,
Is a ocean of multiverses.
A tapestry of metaverses . Springing into existence
Creating connection
Beyond compare
Ingenious innovation
Reaching beyond the known
Forging ahead dimensions
Unfolding technology
With palpable sensations
Creating new possibilities
Exploring potential
Understanding elements
Of space, time and distance
Challenging norms
Quantifying needs & wants
Finding solutions
In a changing world
Simplifying complexities
In the realms of life & living.
Yet as this booming bubbles
Is it a catalyst of changes?
Some sensational and brilliant
Some scary & confounding
Simply know it’s on its way
And is here to stay
As our world will redefine
Life beyond existence…
Accept…
There is bound to be a boom
Colloidal chaos & confusion
In chasing an unreal world
And finding hope to live on
In the very illusions in making.
Know…
Everything life appears now
Is a momentary phenomenon. Of perceptions that deliver
The solutions for the soul.

You create the state of success,
And you never rest on your success.
Success is in the courage to continue,
Your perseverance, your passion and purpose.
Success is consistently inconsiderate.
Success demands much focus
As it supplies momentum
Beyond self-limitations and doubts.
True success is the knowing
In your heart of contentment
Of a life well-lived and loved.
Success is who you are.
Success is in each of us,
Awaiting a discovery —
An unearthing of potential
To sense life’s possibilities.
If you believe your abilities,
trust your instinct,
And give it your best shot;
Success is sure to follow.
Success is an interesting journey and not a destination.
The more you sense the bigger picture…
You lovingly loose yourself in something that 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.

It’s often good to remember you are born to live.
Don’t live because you are born, don’t go where life takes you . Make life come alive where you are…
Keep Sparkling ✨️
Let me
Begin the day…
Affirming positive intentions
In hope and goodwill
Keep the faith alive in trust and strength of self belief
Think of health and happiness
Peace and prosperity
Joy & love
For one and all
In this whole wide world
May all of life thrive
In this now and forever.
May we all…
Manifest goodwill
In abundance in thoughts words and deeds.
Savvy
Allow life to manifest its infinite abundance.
Live life lovingly!

Where light shines forth
There is always a crack
That has given way
An opening that allows…
Light to shine through.
From darkness of night
Emerges a new dawn
In hope and deliverance.
With potential & possibilities.
Sense the cracking of dawn.

A story from Mahabharata
Once Arjuna asked Krishna-
Madhav.. What is this ‘successful life’?
Krishna took Arjuna to fly kites.
Arjuna was watching Krishna carefully flying a kite.
After a while Arjuna said-
Madhav.. Because of this thread, the kite is not able to move freely and upwards, should we break it? It will go higher.
Krishna broke the thread..
The kite went up a little more and then came down after waving and fell at a distant unknown place…
Then Krishna explained the philosophy of life to Arjuna.
Parth.. ‘The height we are at in life..
We often feel that certain things to which we are tied are preventing us from going higher; like :
-House-
-family-
-Dicipline-
-mother-father-
-master-and-
-Society-
And we want to be free from them…
In fact, these are the threads – which keep us at that height.
‘Without these threads we will go up once, but later we will have the same fate that happened to a kite without thread…’
“So, if you want to remain on the top in life, then never break your relationship with these threads.”
The height attained by successful balance of thread and kite-like attachment is called ‘successful life..”
Life and Living soulful stories share that come my way…
John D Rockfeller was once the richest man in the world. The first billionaire in the world. By age 25, he controlled one of the largest oil refineries in the US. By age 31, he had become the world’s largest oil refiner. By age 38, he commanded 90% of the oil refined in the U.S.
By 50, he was the richest man in the country. As a young man, every decision, attitude, and relationship was tailored to create his personal power and wealth.
But at the age of 53, he became ill. His entire body became racked with pain and he lost all of his hair. In complete agony, the world’s only billionaire could buy anything he wanted, but he could only digest soup and crackers. An associate wrote, He could not sleep, would not smile and nothing in life meant anything to him. His personal, highly skilled physicians predicted he would die within a year. That year passed agonizingly slowly.
As he approached death he awoke one morning with the vague realisation of not being able to take any of his wealth with him into the next world. The man who could control the business world suddenly realized he was not in control of his own life. He was left with a choice.
He called his attorneys, accountants, and managers and announced that he wanted to channel his Assets to Hospitals, Research, and Charity work. John D. Rockefeller
established his Foundation. This new direction eventually led to the discovery of penicillin, cures for malaria, tuberculosis and diphtheria.But perhaps the most amazing part of Rockefeller’s story is that the moment he began to give back a portion of all that he had earned, his
body’s chemistry was altered so significantly that he got better. It looked as if he would die at 53 but he lived to be 98. Rockefeller learned gratitude and gave back the vast majority of his wealth. Doing so made him whole. It is one thing to be healed. It is another to be made whole.
Before his death, he wrote this in his dairy, “The Supreme Energy taught me, that everything belongs to Him and I am only a channel to comply his wishes. My life has been one long, happy holiday; Full of work and full of play I dropped the worry on the way and God was
good to me every day.”
A profound message in those words.
In any organization
When leadership listens
Empathy is nurtured
Safe space is created
Conversations connect
Teams bond in trustfulness
Productivity rises
In balanced motivation
Both intrinsic & external
Work becomes less dense
Creativity flows through
In collaboration & coperation
Valuing diversity of potential
Possibilities are explored
In freedom & growth
Collective intelligence resolves
Challenges gets simplified
Structure becomes systems
Protocols are in place
Organizations get organized
Change is acknowledged
In faith goodwill and trust
That we are stronger together
As respect becomes culture.
There is unity in diversity.
When you look at other people through a lens of compassion and understanding rather than judgment and jealousy, you are better able to see them for what they are—human beings.” ~ Unknown
The way we see the world
Changes our experiences
Lesser expectations
Greater contentment
Lesser assumptions & doubt
Greater trustfulness
Lesser hopelessness
Greater possibility
Lesser the complexity
Greater the clarity.

It is a habit of a lifetime to cultivate
To remember to be kinder to oneself as much as another
It’s good to acknowledge the now
And remember every movement is happening
As it is preordained.
Let worries take a backseat
As well as the need for overt perfection.
Just keep the faith and hope alive in your heart
Simply know deep within…
All is well as it is meant to be.
