Vibrance

I dream in vividness of vibrance

Of colours in all shades and hues

All things bright and beautiful

Of beauty & lightness of being

With the joyful spring in my step

And a grateful heart, I choose to paint

My thoughts today…

Sending Hope & healing

And Good energies to one and all!

Wisdom in the living

In the living is the learning

As knowledge builds its foundation

Life keeps changing its path

In the living is the acknowledging

Of the unknown truths of life & living.

In the living is adaptability

To the changing tides in time

In the living is the sensing

Of what makes life worth living

In the living is the engagements

To living life to its fullest potential

And therein is the wisdom from living.

ENGAGEMENT

Engagement is an involvement

It involves committment.

Engagement is an action

It involves doing in action

Engagement is a focused interest

Engagement can be a moral obligation.

To do whatever is possible.

And be genuinely involved.

What are your daily engagements?

What keeps you engaged in them?

Reach beyond knowing

Have always fancied the flight of birds
Dancing with the winds soaring the skies.
To far off lands & destination unknown.
With th  spirit and soul free

And yet…

What has mere wings got to do with flying?
To most it would seem everything
For without wings there is no flight
But then to truly fly is to reach beyond.
Free of being bound!

Beyond knowing  is imagination
Imagination is a journey without wings
For with your thoughts you fly free
And tirelessly  into infinity
For wings may sense the weight of the journey
But heartfelt intention can take you afar
As far as you aim to go
Across dimensions of space & time.
Exploring  possibilities and more.

So it’s not what you have
But what you do with what you have
It’s all in your passionate will & intention
What you  choose to accomplish in time

On living life lovingly…

Life life Lovingly!

Someone asked me what advice would I share with my child…

I would simply share the below two pieces of advice that I came across, not only with my child, but to anyone who cares to follow.

As it will go a long way in the journey of life .

Two simple
formula of life

“Don’t make any
close relation
without full understanding…!

And don’t break
any close relation
with small misunderstanding..

Very thoughtfully said!

Life is beautiful in consideration & responses than kneejerk reactions.

Life is all about taking time to live and love but also to understand.

Life is precious and every relationship has a reason to be. Even if it’s just for a season it is meant to last its time.

Let’s never forget that…

So let’s value life, value relationships

And live life lovingly!!

Sky Above, Earth Below & Fire Within

 

Like the sky above,

Be expansive,

Unfurl your imagination,

Extend yourself, reach beyond knowing.

Like the earth below,

Be connected,

Yet stay rooted to the ground,

Have the steadfastness like the earth.

Like the fire within,

Be spirited,

Let your passion speak,

Explore life and give it your all.

What has life taught me today?

Life is a mystical journey.

Every now is as fresh as never before

And yet deeply rooted in yesterday.

In fact, every now is embedded

With the bygone and the future.

What I learn in this now

Is interweaved in eternity.

In these waves of understanding

Is life’s evolving ways for the being.

In letting go of the unnecessary

Is the space and freedom to be

All that one can be.

Every lesson that comes by,

Makes an imprint that matters

Somewhere, somehow.

A Matter Of Thought

They say it’s what you do that matters

But it’s the thought that counts

Can we choose one thought over other

Yes we can in mindfulness

Being aware is the first step

The choice rests with you

For you are your thoughts

As much as your deeds .

Beauty Of The Betwixt

Between the then and the yet to come

Is the moment of now.

Honour this space.

The bygone no longer matters;

The future is yet unknown.

Be present in this moment

Of infinite possibilities

For what is unfolding is in this now;

Life is truly here in this now.

In thoughts, words and deeds,

Attend to this space that is —

Honour the beauty of the betwixt.

Life & Living

Whenever I come across a heart touching action, or a prose ,a poem or quote I will be sharing it here in this series…

Some people make the world a better place by their thoughts words and deeds...

Sharing a touching story of truths of life and living…

THE HAPPIEST MAN

When Billionaire Femi Otedola in a telephone interview, was asked by the radio presenter, “Sir what can you remember made you the happiest man in life?”

Femi said: “I have gone through four stages of happiness in life and finally I understood the meaning of true happiness.”

The first stage was to accumulate wealth and means. But at this stage I did not get the happiness I wanted.

Then came the second stage of collecting valuables and items. But I realized that the effect of this thing is also temporary and the lustre of valuable things does not last long.

Then came the third stage of getting big projects. That was when I was holding 95% of diesel supply in Nigeria and Africa. I was also the largest vessel owner in Africa and Asia. But even here I did not get the happiness I had imagined.

The fourth stage was the time a friend of mine asked me to buy wheelchair for some disabled children. Just about 200 kids.

At the friend’s request, I immediately bought the wheelchairs. But the friend insisted that I go with him and hand over the wheelchairs to the children. I got ready and went with him.

There I gave these wheel chairs to these children with my own hands. I saw the strange glow of happiness on the faces of these children. I saw them all sitting on the wheelchairs, moving around and having fun.

It was as if they had arrived at a picnic spot where they are sharing a jackpot wining.

I felt real joy inside me. When I decided to leave one of the kids grabbed my legs. I tried to free my legs gently but the child stared at my face and held my legs tightly. I bent down and asked the child: Do you need something else?

The answer this child gave me not only made me happy but also changed my attitude to life completely. This child said: “I want to remember your face so that when I meet you in heaven, I will be able to recognize you and thank you once again”.

What would you be remembered for after you leave that office or place?

Will anyone desire to see your face again where it all matters?

Think! Live your life in a manner that others desire to see your face again.

The Way

When we care to truly listen

We can hear our soul’s calling.

In the journey of life

Every one of us

Has a unique pathway

That is our reason to be

That makes us feel fulfillment

That speaks to us with all of our heart

That makes us see the signs

How far would you go

To find your pathway?

It’s all in you!

No matter what paths life takes you

No matter the circumstances you are in

No matter how tedious the journey

It’s all in you, and the attitude you have

And choose to cultivate in time

Life can challenge or you can change

Your way of seeing life

You can create joy or sorrow

As you choose to see life.

As you wish to live life

It’s all in you!

On Leadership

If you are a leader…

Credit your teams wins to them
Celebrate their individual wins
Appreciate their work
Acknowledge their perseverance
Applaud their dedication
Empathize with them by listening well.
Encourage their efforts with training
Reward them with recognition.
Value their perspectives
Be a guide so they can follow
For without a follower there is no leader.

Sail on with a hope filled heart…

Image credits Social Media

Sail on with a hope filled  heart…

A new journey you are ready to start.

You have danced a countless steps to the tunes of life,

You have chosen to see beyond the strife.

Dare a new morning dear one …

Move on, as the past is over and done.

Watch the sky as a sign from above

How relentlessly and hopefully it brings forth the now.

How it regales us with a myriad hues,

What a divine brush  painting those magical views.

Take cues from it as it carries on …

Constantly changing in every moment.

Across the horizon rests a whole new world.

Awaiting your arrival with joy to behold.

 

It seeks nothing from you, neither your past glories

Nor bothers about your many untold stories.

It asks you to simply move on from any past torment

As you step into this new moment.

Sail on dear one, with a heart filled with wonder

A new shore awaits, just across the yonder !

 This is one of my photo inspired poem, the picture above denotes the let go as you move on, for to cling to the past scenarios simply delays the visibility of the the new views in the offing … Trust all that you are and sail on! ‘

Beyond the sum of our senses

 

Beyond the sum of our senses

Exists a field of potential,

Embodying possibilities.

Beyond fear and doubts

Exists a space for courage,

Emitting energy in hope and faith.

Myriad thoughts may fill our minds;

All is an illusion in the imagination.

If we wish to see it so,

There is always more

Beyond the dark; envisage the light

 

Unlearn the lessons taught,

Invoke the curiosity of your inner child,

Step back and see the bigger picture.

Rays of light will find their way!
