If you can help the world you influence thrive…
Then you are a true leader
In being a leader
There is an unspoken responsibility…
Of creating a space for growth & acknowledgement
Of ideas and explorations
Of possibilities in the potential
Of development of the individuals
Of nurturing the spirit in patience and strategy
Of accountability of the purpose.
Of ensuring discipline and compliances when needed
Of using appreciation as an evolved method of correction.
Of empathy in thoughts words & action for the followers.
When the leader practices
All of the above consistently in time
Then all the directive of such a leader
Gets understood and supported in kind by the followers
And that is when managing change becomes easier for the leader
For all begin to thrive in this way….
And thats when leadership becomes an art.
And life thrives.

It is always a learning in progress for learning is never ending and is a continuousΒ path in life and living.
Yet it is beautiful to pause & be grateful for the understanding that comes our way.
In the trials & tribulations of being a student & a teacher, life abounds in deep gratitude.ο

This is a different kind of post.
Have been writing and sharing my thoughts and reflections here on WordPress for many years now. Many of you have been with me in this journey off and on and some of you consistently so… and for both I am full of gratitude.
Through these poems and prose my life’s experiences and explorations have often been my muse in the musings.
Just wondering out loud how am I perceived through these words. And what do you sense of me intuitively?
Would you care to share?
It’s simply a self exploratory share to learn and understand some more and I sincerely hope to hear from you.
In return I too will try my best to share my understanding of you through your posts.
Could I know through this post how do you perceive me?
Who am I ?

If you are given an opportunity to take a journey
Take it, for you meet many versions of you.
Along the road.
Some you cherish, some cherish you.
Some that change you and some that you change.
Fear not the travel or the traveling…
For one thing is certain
You come away enriched and wiser in every journey.
Travel to liberate yourself
From self assumed notions
To see the light on the other side
There is much to unlearn and unbox
As you travel yield in to the insights
Travel every once in a while if opportunity arises,
Take the chance,
You are richer in your explorations much as your experiences.
Travel on …

A child can teach us to love life
A child can remind us to be present in this now.
Nurturing a child is a learning
In resilience and responsibility.
Of our strengths & vulnerability.
Children are our teachers of tommorow.

Hands can create nurture
Construct and destruct
Such is the power of Hands
And the choice is our hands
Hands that care to nurture life
Is a blessing for nature. π

Take a moment to acknowledge
Your energy is where your attention is
Tune in to abundance that is in and around you
Sense the possibilities in the potential
Worries become negligible
In the immensity of possibilities
That you actually are.
Tune in to your infinite self

Sharing my artwork today …
Yes You Can
If you only see
The myriad patterns
And colours of life
You will live to create
If you could only believe
In the vividly of the moments
If you could only sense
The magic life is meant to be
You will
Paint your life with joy in the flow
Unwrap this gift of life lovingly!
Just believe you can
And yes you can.

Motivational Story – The Bamboo Tree
A man got frustrated with life. Despite all the hard work and effort, failure was all that he learnt. Feeling defeated with life, he left everything and exiled himself in the woods. There he met a Hermit. The disappointed man shared is failure with the hermit. βGive me one good reason not to quit?β- He pleaded the Hermit
βLookβ, the hermit said, pointing towards two plants. βDo you see that fern and bamboo there?
βYesβ, the man nodded.
βWhen I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them. I gave them water, light and fertilizer. Within a short period of time the fern quickly grew from the earthβ, the hermit continued.
βBut despite the Bamboo seed being watered and nurtured for years, it did not outwardly grow as much as an inch. In fact, nothing at all happened in the first year. There was no sign of growth. But, I did not give up on the Bamboo seed and continued to water and nurture it. By the fifth year, a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. And within six months, the tree grew a hundred feet tall.β
βSo, did the bamboo tree lie dormant for four years only to grow exponentially in the fifth?β the hermit asked. Baffled by the question the man kept quiet. βThe answer is quite obvious. The little tree was growing underground, developing a root system strong enough to support its potential for outward growth in the fifth year and beyond. Had the tree not developed a strong foundation, it would not have sustained its life as it grew.β
βDid you know that all the time you had been struggling, you were growing strong rootsβ, remarked the hermit
The man learned his lesson that day. He learnt the value of persistence and hard work. The fern and the bamboo stood right in front of him as he walked towards his life to continue to work on his dreams
During the course of a Management Seminar, Mr. T.N.Seshan, former Chief Election Commissioner shared an experience he had while travelling in Uttar Pradesh with his wife. As they were travelling by road, they saw a large mango plantation filled with sparrow nests. Seshan’s wife decided to carry two nests to their home.
The police escort called a young boy who was grazing cows and asked him to bring down two nests and offered to pay him Ten Rupees.
The boy refused as Seshan raised the offer to Rupees Fifty.
The boy told Seshan and his wife, βSahib, I will not do it for whatever you will give. Inside these nests are baby sparrows. If I give those nests to you, in the evening, when the mother sparrow returns with food for the babies and does not find them there, she will cry. I do not have the heart to see that.β*
Seshan and his wife were taken aback and felt small. Seshan later recounted that his position and the IAS label melted away in front of that little boy. He stood in front of the young boy feeling as small as a mustard seed. He added that after returning home, this incident continued to haunt him with guilt for several days.
Education, position or social status is never a yardstick for the measure of humanity. Letβs not forget that knowledge is to know and understand the beauty of nature. We don’t achieve anything by gathering a lot of information as long as that information does not get transformed into wisdom. And wisdom is useless as long as we donβt apply it in our daily life.
Crown shyness
Crown shyness is a phenomenon observed in fully grown trees of the same or often even different species where they maintain a distance between themselves and do not touch each other at the top forming a canopy with interesting gaps possibly for sunlight to enter or even to keep leaf eating insects from spreading .
There is much to understand and learn from nature
It’s amazing to see the wisdom of nature manifest in so many different ways around us.
Spatial awareness between trees are a striking example of the wisdom of balance in nature
There is always a reason, a wisdom we are yet to know…
After all
It is the very nature of Nature
To be the great balancer
To know when to rise and fall.
To know when to give and take.
To maintain the equilibrium.
