Every now presents you with a choice
To be & do what you can
Every moment is full of potential
To engage with possibilities
Truly there is much more beyond
To know and understand
Every thing begins with a choice
And the choice rests with you.

Life in the living
Life is
Inexplicable Uncertainty in the now
Undefinable Strength in the moment
Unimaginable challenges that arise
Infinite possibilities in the potential
Unstoppable hope in the living
Be it in Strength or weakness
Threats to opportunities
Life shapes and moulds in experience
Be it desires, wants or needs
Life is a journey unto itself
Life is a circle in the living.

Creative Ingenuity
Wonderful vocabulary and ingenious indeed!
The human genius behind the pen, has an eloquence in expressing thoughts as much as a methodically structured brain to have attempted this.
Yet I wonder about the creativity of writers….
What makes every writer so very unique?
Simply saying the uniqueness of thoughts is just one part of the equation
There is always more than what meets the eye, there are some life experiences, the books that are read, the nature of nurture, the kind that leaves a certain impression, all that perhaps leaves a diversity of imprints, interespersing the imagination with potent possibilities in the musings.
Every writing has a certain uniqueness of manifestation that unfolds the magic of thought patterns in the structuring and presenting.
From simple to compound to complexity of sentence structures, the choice and arrangement of words and phrases penned, can be both, subtle and stark indicators of the spirit and soul behind the words.
Every writing leaves a soul print.
And every writing can be a journey back home unto the self!

Discipline
Discipline may come from education.
But the ability to stay on path is a habit
Education may steer us to discipline.
But discipline takes dedication.
To adhere to the path on you own.
What do you think?

A Sufi Tale
A Sufi Tale:
A merchant from Baghdad entered a Sufi’s shop, which had essence jars on the shelves.
Marveling at the beauty of the place, he asked, “Sir, what is sold here?”
The Sufi replied, “The gifts of God”.
The merchant was surprised with the answer, & asked, “And how much do they cost?”
“Nothing, here all is for free”, said the Sufi, observing carefully, that the traveller could see the labels: “Jugs of Love”; “Jars of Faith”; “Packages of Hope”.
The merchant said, “A big jug of love, all the packages of hope & three jars of faith for me, my friends & my family”.
The Sufi carefully prepared the order & handed him a small box.
Surprised, the merchant exclaimed, “But, but…. how can everything I have asked for, be in this tiny box?”
Smiling, the Sufi replied, “In God’s store, we do not sell fruits, only seeds. You have to sow them.

In synch
When what you say
And what you do
Are congruent
The effect of your words & deeds
Radiates all around you in resonance.
It’s no wonder then that
In a world that seems so dissonant
Words and deeds need to synch.
In harmony of such synchrony
Faith and trust meet belief
And that’s what makes all the difference.

Why save bees?
Perfect pollinators
Supporting the ecosystems
From wild flowers to food crops
For Interconnections run deep
With the plant and animal kingdom
As much as with all of life and living.
Its said, if bees become extinct as a species
We humans will cease to be, in just four years
They not only produce the nectar of life
Bees sustain the delicate balance
Of the environment of our world.

Illusory Perceptions
Power of suggestions
Shapes our perceptions
Perspectives are formed
Associations are conjured
What is , is not all.
Such is the illusions in the perceptions

Pathway to Sanity
Life can challenge us in the living
Each moment can throw us into a maze
That we need to go figure for ourselves
Personally speaking…
I turn to self reflection and solitude walking in contemplative introspection, when I need to rebalance and align myself , as in doing so I am able to understand and reconsider how difficult it has been, given the circumstances and I comfort myself by acknowledging that I have done my best.
I am grateful for this ability to write and paint my heart away, and express myself through arts, just as much as being kinder and compassionate with myself. For in every such moment, I am learning to be a better me.
I also find great solace in meditative movements and soulful dancing that help me bounce back to normalcy.
In difficult times what keeps you sane?

Time to regenerate
Night is a time of regeneration
In acknowledgement of a pause
Of the need for rest and recovery
As the day blesses us with a night
Own the time to sense the rejuvenation
Slip into bliss of sleep,
In the oblivion of darkness
That slowly descends on us all
Just be , knowing the night gives in to dawn
In a few hours more…
Be wise to unwind and unshackle.
Touch base with your soulspace
Refresh your entire being
To look forward and greet dawn again in hope

Dance of Nature
There is dance
In every leaf and flower
In every bud and bloom
In every twig and tree
In every turn and twist
Of nature’s creation.
There is the grace of uniqueness
Of wisdom beyond compare
All knowing, all pervading
To this Omnipresence …
I bow in Gratitude to this Grace.🙏

Finding Time
Ultimately it all about finding time
For a…
A little laughter to keep you light
A little kindness along the way
A little walk for your good health
A little whiff of fragrance divine
A little tune to hum through the day
A little step to carry it through
A little tap down the memory lane
All to align you to your happiest self

Simplify Life
Simple can be profoundly impactful
For in the very complexity of the matter
Resides clarity of the simplicity.
Simplifying the truth of purpose
In easily understandable ways.
Simplify thoughts, simplify life.:))

Love it!
The vibrant energy of joyfulness creates a feeling of enthusiasm and wellbeing.
If we can bring it upon ourself to sense joy for what is, we will find it manifests where ever we are, in one way or the other, in more ways than one.
The ability to alter our attitude towards life is directly proportional to the way we experience life.
We are what we think and our behavior is influenced by our perceptions of life and living.
If we wish we can choose to change
The way of thinking and sensing
Life evolves for the better along the way .

On Trust & Leadership
Leadership in teams.
If you have been leading teams at work…
How important do you think is a culture of trust to an enterprise and its growth?
How would it be possible to create, nurture & sustain trust in teams?
On a scale of 1 to 10 where do you think the team you lead, is in terms of trustfulness?
Companies spend a lot of their resources planning for engagements that are geared towards trust building.
There are get together, team lunches, resort trips arranged, and social events organized to ensure every one has a good time and build a rapport with each other.
What are the genuine ways of trust building in teams?
What makes a team trust a leader?
Trust is a significant and valuable trait to build into any functional team.
And it is the responsibility of the leader to create an atmosphere for trust to follow through in teams.
Besides skills and abilities to lead and show direction to the team when in need, a leader’s trust quotient increases when they are ready to be vulnerable enough to let the team understand that after all, we are together through the thick and thin.
Secondly, it is important for a leader to be able to cultivate clarity in communication. And shares the bigger picture with the team, so they understand the intent for a plan.
More than anything else, it makes way for an authentic and open culture of trustful action and responses.
And speaking of responses, an effective and efficient leader will seek feedbacks to create a proper follow-ups and follow through of any intention.
Whenever a leader internalizes these values as habits of being authentic and vulnerable with their team, trust is born.
In every effort taken towards creating clarity & consistency in the channels of communication with their team, trust is built.
And while finding resolutions through followups with timely responses, trust is sustained in the teams.
Great organization begins with teams that place value on trustfulness as an important part of the growth mindset.
