Whatever you resist persists
Steer away from impulsive resistance
Yes while resistance is natural in life
Resistance may create tension
Yet it can be a signal of change
In channelling this very resistance.
In allowing to let go completely
Soon tension eases in the flow
In perseverance & patience.
In response than reaction
Creating positive transmutation.
In thoughts words and deeds
Sifting & sailing through your perspectives
Till harmony becomes you.

Cage not the spirit of a bird
If you truly want to hear
The soul song of a bird
Plant a tree…
For life gives unto life
Such is nature of nature
Savvy
We brave the chances
We take the risks
We endure the worst
For we know the world is round
All is meant to flow
And hence there is heartfelt hope
In the most difficult moments
Simply know hope is here to stay

When life seem a little too chaotic
When time seems to zip past us
When you wish to pause and reflect
Can you begin to see with your heart
For the heart comes along with truth
Of the being betwixt all the frenzy & fear
The heart emotes and senses
In all authenticity and intuition
Choose heartfulness
Allow yourself to tune in to hear
The beat of the not so distant drummer
Be ready to listen to its beat in synchrony
For heart knows the path of the being.

An ability to believe in yourself takes you far. In self confidence is an energy that penetrates the insecurities and uproots fear and doubts in faith of Self belief.
Being open minded
Recently I came across a post about being open minded to wonder, than being closed to the world through belief. Being open minded need not make you a non believer in fact it is when you are able to believe that, there are other perspectives just as much as your own, is when you are truly open minded.
Positively impacting beliefs
Belief can be in trust that learning’s are about of what was and all is well in this now and hoping the best for the future. True belief is never a resistance but a bond in love trust faith and hope without feeling bound.
Believe & you can!
Belief can strengthen the living you in adversity belief can ease your thoughts in calamity
Belief can work to connect you to yourself
Belief is acknowledging in the strength of human potential, because you can!

We are all part of change
Speak of
Changing brains and body
Changing minds and hearts
Changing needs and wants
Processing change…
Is about letting in and letting go
There is a sense of giving and receiving
A sense of gain and a sense of loss
In acknowledgement and acceptance
Of the course of nature
In the circle of life
Our body intelligence
Helps in evolving the self awareness
To be adaptive and amenable to change
For change is the only constant

Wherever you are
Be a messenger of peace
Sense the hope that peace brings
In its wake, life regenerates.

We all fight…
For what we believe to be right
Yet sometimes we need to see
What is happening in and around us
Are we building or destructing?
Are we going to the point of no return
Engaging without rethinking
The point of it all…
How many battles do you wish you had backed out?
How many do you wish you had withdrawn?
How many arguments do you think you could have avoided?
Have you felt totally drained after a war of words?
How many times have you sensed the pointlessness of such a debate?
Sometimes it’s better to withdraw than fight
When you sense the futility of war
Be selective what you choose to focus on
The choice rests with you
Choose peace over war
For peace matters more.

“By letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try, the world is beyond winning.” – Lao Tzu
Trying to win is good
But when that very trying
Is consuming the life out of you
Would you think it over?
We teach ourselves
To try and try until we win
But there is always a point of tipping over.
Knowing when to bend so you do not break
Is a lesson in letting go…
When you are able to discern the detachment dispassionately
When you are able to rise beyond comparisons & competitions
When you are able to sense the contentment in what you have
You are meeting your true Self
For you are able to acknowledge in acceptance
The truth of what truly matters
In the learning to let go
You have witnessed there is abundance
In the circles of being there is always more
What is, was and will be
Always has a reason yet to understand
There is wisdom in the letting go!
Savvy
Are you feeling you are trying to live
Between the raindrops?
Or maybe you feel
You are surviving between the rapids
For life is not always a bed of blooms.
Is there a trick to the whole process?
To thrive from between to the beyond
To live through the unfolding journey.
Waltzing through without warping up
Smiling throught it all
Singing the song of hope than remorse
Question yourself
Is it just a matter of priorities
What truly matters after all?
What makes for a life
That’s worth its while?
All one needs to do is experience the journey
Because the destination takes care of itself!
Savvy
One who knows the worth of life
Cannot afford to waste
Even a single moment of life
Care to take a step
Towards a more meaningful life.
Every now is awaiting your awareness
To envision the potential within
Every new day is a gift of possibilities
Care to make today count!
Savvy
Your approach changes everything
The way you live
The way you work
The way you play
Choose to look forward to finding the joy
In whatever you do
If you can find something to better
Something to improve from
Something to grow and expand potential
Then by all means focus on it
Spend time to learn possibilities
Making work feel better than before
Find the meaning & purpose
In whatever you do
Work to make a positive difference
Tweak your approach tweak your life

Covid has come
Covid will go
Herd immunity
Now at play
Will leave
With markings
Of a common flu
And yet the waves
Will leave us
Imprints of Resilience
In the cells of our being
Progressively in time
But speaking of the future
If we are able to see
Beyond the nightmare
Of the past
There is a shift
In the way of life
Of the way of living
At work & at play
The impacted have wisened
Earlier than others
But there is an awareness
No less in the rethinking
Of the workplace that works
From physical to hybrid.
Exploring possibilities
With our virtual connections
With precious commute time saved
Families have sensed the togetherness
Experienced the pros & cons of wfh
Yet work has continued
Buisness collapsed yet many revived
Reinventing the ways of work
A sense of knowing prevails
All is not lost
For technology has come in aid
Of mankind at its hour of need
A semblance of normalcy regained
But with a redesigned version
Of what is the new normal
Organization operates
Repattererned in the sensing
Of what is redundant
And what actually works!
Hope is here to stay…

Disciple:
What is poison?
Guru:
When we have something more than our needs it becomes poison. It can be power, wealth, love, hatred or even hunger.
Fear?
When we do not accept impermanence it becomes fear.When we accept impermanence it becomes adventure.
Jealousy?
When we are not ready to accept the goodness of others it becomes jealousy. When we start accepting it becomes a motivational force.
Anger?
When we cannot bear things happening beyond our control it becomes anger. When we start accepting it becomes tolerance.
Hatred?
Not accepting others as they are, turns into hatred. Unconditional acceptance becomes love.
A profound post share in Tamil translated by my dear mother Anjana.
A beautiful share
“She sat at the back and they said she was shy,
She led from the front and they hated her pride,
They asked her advice and then questioned her guidance,
They branded her loud, then were shocked by her silence,
When she shared no ambition they said it was sad,
So she told them her dreams and they said she was mad,
They told her they’d listen, then covered their ears,
And gave her a hug while they laughed at her fears,
And she listened to all of it thinking she should,
Be the girl they told her to be best as she could,
But one day she asked what was best for herself,
Instead of trying to please everyone else,
So she walked to the forest and stood with the trees,
She heard the wind whisper and dance with the leaves,
She spoke to the willow, the elm and the pine,
And she told them what she’d been told time after time,
She told them she felt she was never enough,
She was either too little or far far too much,
Too loud or too quiet, too fierce or too weak,
Too wise or too foolish, too bold or too meek,
Then she found a small clearing surrounded by firs,
And she stopped…and she heard what the trees said to her,
And she sat there for hours not wanting to leave,
For the forest said nothing, it just let her breathe”
