If milk gets bad, it becomes yoghurt. Yoghurt is more valuable than milk. If it gets even worse, it turns to cheese. Cheese is more valuable than both yoghurt and milk.
And if grape juice turns sour, it transforms into wine, which is even more expensive than grape juice.
You are not bad because you made mistakes. Mistakes are the experiences that make you more valuable as a person.
Christopher Columbus made a navigational error that made him discover America.
Alexander Fleming’s mistake led him to invent Penicillin.
Don’t let your mistakes get you down. It is not practice that makes perfect. It is mistakes we learn from that makes perfect!
Loved this forward I received this morning, just had to share… So motivational. Our attitude turns circumstances around…
To improve thinking straight strategically as a leader, develop the ability to see the bigger picture, and probe on the details looking out for possible risks so as to devise better planning to achieve set goals.

3. Gathering perspectives and using it in scenario analysis helps in managing uncertainities better.
It’s balmy weather It’s early morning The sun is moving In and out of the trees Traveling with me As I am walking… The chirping birds Awakening the world With hope fulness The wind is resting Perhaps still to awaken The clouds are clearing Heralding the light In the mighty tree A few yards from me I see a beautiful vision… Cont’d
Three trees in a forest were talking about their dreams.
First tree said, I want to become a beautiful chest & lots of precious treasures should be stored in me.
Second tree said, i want to become a magnificent ship to carry great kings & queens safely across the ocean, even in storms.
Third one told I want to become the tallest tree in this forest. My height should reach the sky that I should think I am near God.
After some time people came to the forest to cut the trees.
They came near the first tree and said this seems like a strong tree. We will sell this to a carpenter who will make boxes. The tree became happy that its wish is getting fulfilled.
Second tree they decided that it would be suitable to build a ship. The tree was happy that it would finally become a ship.
They saw the third tree and didn’t think of any great use . So it was made to logs n stored.
The carpenter made a box out of the first tree to store hay in a shed. Second one was made into a small fishing boat. The third tree was lying as log n stored. Thus all their dreams were shattered.
Time went by. The trees had forgotten their dreams.
One day a man n woman came to the shed. The lady delivered a baby.They put the baby on the hay in the box made of the first tree.. Immediately the tree realised that it is carrying the greatest treasure on earth.
Few years wentby. Some people were voyaging on the small boat made from the second tree. A big storm started n the tree was worried that it could not save the people it was carrying. At that time one man in the boat said to the sea, be calm. The sea became calm. The tree realised that it is carrying the king of all kings.
After some days a man was carrying the logs from the third tree & walked the street. The people on the way were ridiculing him . They reached a small hill top & the man was nailed on the log & made it stand . After three days the tree realised it was very near God as the man was Jesus Christ.
The dreams of the trees were fulfilled, but not in the way they wanted .
Similarly all our dreams will be fulfilled. May be not in the way or time we planned. But it will happen.
Evolution happens in the changes that are a precussor to transformation.
As humans much of our creativity is often boxed in association of concepts and experiences and their correlation.
A conscious unshackling of patterns of thought brings forth new and different ways of seeing & thinking. Every now and then take a pause, acknowledge the diverse new associations for it breeds creativity.
A deliberate action that reaches out far and wide to step out of conventional thought patterns is never easy especially as humans like to feel safe and secure in comfort of knowing of a stability and at ease at rest.
Change can be unsettling and startling for most to accept, to digest & acclamatize in the new shifts.And yet to create new spaces for light is to step up in the gamut of creativity there need to be, a dare into the unknown that explores dimensions beyond.
In difficult moments Think of life As ocean waves Waltzing with the tides Highs and lows Are both part of the flow Think of yourself Realize you are Not just in the flow You are the flow!.
Light is only light as long as you can see it. Else there at most the anticipation of light. What you see as light Is your choice For it is your point of view
But if light is a sense Of the tingling warmth Or scorching heat Or the tenderness of touch Light is sensed in its glow Then light is a feeling In the sensing Of its so called attributes Associated by you. Then it’s your point of sense
What you see What you feel What you sense Is a dance of illusions Of the perception All within you!
So is light light? And is dark dark at all? It is all in you!
Freeing the body Is to move without fear Freeing the mind Is to move beyond doubts Freeing the heart Is to hope beyond despair Freeing the spirit Is to sense the light in every now Freeing the soul Is to align to the purpose of being. To find the flow To free up space within Is to let go resentment Of trials and errors Of judgements and assumptions Freeing your breath Is to sense life dance In this now.
Imagining peace Soothing the spirit Calming the senses A river of joy flows through In the sweet sounds of music Memories of many melodious moments Fleeting by in the harmony of the flow…
