In giving is a grace of hopefulness
In receiving is a respect in Gratitude.
In giving is a trust in abundance
In receiving is an acknowledgement.
Every giving and every receiving is a gift of life.
Both are beautiful beyond compare in the grace of the action and response.
To be able to give without wanting
To be able receive without greed
Makes these gifts meaningful.
Grateful for these gifts of life.

No amounts of words we simply hear can help heal the world …
As much as even just a pair of helping hands from a loving heart in harmony.

Team Management & Motivation Tips
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.

This picture was shared on social media…
Can you see a face in the lake ?🙂
Here are some more faces
How many faces can you see now?
Feel free to trace some more…
Pareidolia (/ˌpæriˈdoʊliə/,[1] US also /ˌpæraɪˈ-/[2]) is the tendency for perception to impose a meaningful interpretation on a nebulous visual stimulus (so that one sees an object, pattern or meaning where in fact there is none).
Ref Wiki
Seeing familiar objects or patterns in otherwise random or unrelated objects or patterns is called pareidolia. It’s a form of apophenia, which is a more general term for the human tendency to seek patterns in random information.
Face pareidolia seems to be a universal phenomenon.
Finding faces in the most unexpected places, may have an evolutionary angle of a need to seek familiarity in the wake of the unknown, for a psychological safety.
Or finding faces in the bonnet of a car that makes it look more fun, friendly & smiling.
Maybe piecing the possibilities together to make sense is an illustration in the illusion…
Whatever the case creativity of the human mind is infinite in its potential to conjure up endless possibilities out of practically nothing concrete.
In the ability to create abstract associations to integrate and create and merge a more meaningful interpretation for ourselves,makes it an art of limitless possibilities.
Savvy
Wherever you are
However the form
Which ever the patterns
That are shaping up
Take time to sense the possibilities
In the unchartered, unexplained
Unexplored undiscovered …
Creativity of human potential.
You have the ability
To aspire to inspire
And be inspired
To make life beautiful,
Meaningful in every moment.
There is an art, awaiting you
To breath life into
To be discovered
To be appreciated for arts sake!

In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous.
Aristotle
Nature never ceases to amaze us
Such is the wonder and awe of nature.
Nature is full of surprises
Every tree , every branch
Every flower, every bud
Like all living things is unique
Yet patterned in synchrony
Adapting to ways of being
Nature is resilience personified.
Every where we care to look
There is something to admire
Something to respect and learn from
Salute to the splendors of Nature.

The ground truths of any relationship in time..
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.

Impacts of Gratitude on our thoughts…
In practice of Gratitude, our thoughts become lighter and lighter as you have less of memories to store that creates the density … you feel happier and free.
Gratitude has a way of making our memories happier & lighter…
Life is lot more beautiful, as you take to the path of Gratitude.
Savvy
In Practice of Gratitude…
Every day, in every way, the awareness builds upon you, as you become more and more grateful for all that is, was and will be.
In every move towards Gratefulness you are creating a bridge of Gratitude to channel your emotions when they go astray.
Let your Gratitude speak beyond words, in actions that matter.
Let the walls of uncertainty, in doubts and lack of faith trust and belief, shift away in the winds of positive transformation.
Let your heart and mind be on one page.
In the aligned thoughts, let your breath be free and easy.
Let your life expressions be empathic & compassionate.
Let your lifes moments be like the tender breeze, easing in the flow.
Let every Gratitude you sense, become building rocks on the bridge of GRATITUDE.

Some positive takes in an accidental spill…
To keep calm and address the lesson in the spill.
To turnover a spill to evolve for better
To sense a pattern of possibilities in a spill.
To challenge the statuesque through a spill.
To test skillsets learned from a spill
To move beyond in a dare with a spill
To spill some more and align the pattern formations
To envision hope beyond the accidental spill.
To create artworks from the potential in a spillover
To empathize with the spiller across the learning curve…
Spills become art and art spills over.
Savvy
We need arts to explore our potential and understand ourselves
For the study and practice of arts opens us to discover different perspectives.
Art patterns itself through creativity
And art flourishes in appreciation and patronage.
But art emotes from the depth of the soul and spirit in the sensing.
Art can salvage the broken and the indifferent souls.
As much as channel the creative genius to express from within.
Art is both an intervention as much as intrainment experience.
When the soul speaks art renders.
Savvy
In a world battling for itself
It is time to let oneself be as is
Accepting and acknowledging
The vulnerability of life
As foibles of life and living
It is not a time to be over demanding
Striving for over perfection
To the tipping point .
For the challenges of this now
Far outweigh the craze for perfection
Time to be less hard on yourself
And others around you
And be more grateful 🙏
Gratitude changes perspectives.
Making life a little more bearable
And a lot less complicated.
Savvy
Practice anything
Consistently
As a way of life
And it will become art.
An art that is tangible…
To sense like an artist
In the throes of creation.
For as you practice
In your passionate perseverance
Your soul is enriched
And your spirit shines
In its own truth.
“Art is for the heart from the heart with all your heart ….

Every day you have countless thoughts
Our thoughts carry energy
Some positive ones making you hopeful
Some negative leaving you stressed
Upset and drained.
But to truly make each day beautiful
Whenever there are too many negative
Thoughts that arise…
Become mindful
In awareness, train yourself
To think it over
Focus the many good
Let go of the bad.
Flipping it over makes all the difference
The question is
Will u try and flip the script?
Savvy
A person never is bored when he or she is creating something,expressing oneself. Through art forms, painting, singing, writing,and whatever that connects deeply to oneself.
And thats the beautiful part, where one art inspires another as much as the self to explore more.
