Stay calm
Don’t lose cool
Have no expectations
Let go… Move on
Easy to advise Difficult to practice Telling truth as it is
Such is the irony of advice.

Words
There is much energy in words.
Good or not so good
For instance…
What someone says about you
Is not about you
As much as it is a reflection
Of who they actually are.
Words carry their weight in the colours of emotions they manifest.
Sometimes thoughtless words said in moments of despair or loss creates rifts and regrets for a lifetime
The words said is heavier than you know, for it can live on in eternity In the heart and mind of another soul.
Think twice before you speak.
Think well. Speak well
Live in the lightness of being

What is the colour of your thoughts today ?
Question yourself
Am I thinking well?
If I were to choose a colour
What colour would my thoughts be in this now?
Are my feelings cold or warm?
Are my emotions overflowing or in balance.
Is my spirit shackled or free?
Are my thoughts racing or calming?
Your answers will speak to you,
Of your state of being.
If ever you feel the need to introspect and self regulate you can use these questions that came to me today to do a self check, as to where you are placed in this spectrum of life in the now.
Writing here every day on WordPress has drawn many readers who have messaged me their challenges and it is a privilege to connect, meet and also coach some of them.
As a writer and a life coach, I have been intentionally motivating with my thoughts over the years. I find joy in writing my heart out and yet be able to empower myself and my readers with positive thoughts. I believe it makes a difference and I hope to continue making these small yet positive impacts through my works, be it through art or words.
Feel free to share colours of your thoughts today here.
And I hope you have a beautiful time wherever in the world you are.

On Fame
Fame is the shadow of passion standing in light
Kahlil Gibran
When a good deed
A noble act
Invokes fame
Fame stays on…
Entrenched in light of goodwill.
Embedded in that light
Passion perseveres.
Such a fame is worth experiencing…
And yet there is always a price to fame
While fame brings glory
It also brings expectations along
To live up to … for a lifetime.
There is loss of privacy
As you sway into the limelight
Being in the public eye can be daunting
There can be a loss of personal freedom.
Even though it creates opportunities
For it presents platforms
As it changes equations.
As it builds reputation.
Thoughts go on the desire for fame.
Even tbough there is a price to fame
Or would one choose the world of obscurity?
What are your thoughts on fame?
Do share.

On Wisdom
What to speak of wisdom?
Tommorows wisdom
Is open to learn
From the errors in this now.
In the listening, in the living
In the feeling in the sensing.
So much to understand…
Question remains are we open
to acknowledge the misses,
as a part of being human ?
Are we ready to receive
from these experiences…
Seeking wisdom in the lessons.

Effortless movements
When you move
Move with energy
Allow the movements
To flow through you
And from you harmoniously
As you move you will sense
The effortlessness of movements
With practice it becomes a flow

A beautiful read this morning came my way through a social media forward from my mother.
It’s truly meaningful.
The Final Whistle…
I was watching a local football match on a school ground.
I asked a boy sitting nearby, “What’s the score of your team?”
With a smile, the boy replied, “We are at 0, the opponents are at 3.”
I said, “Don’t lose hope, young man.”
The boy looked at me with a puzzled expression, as if questioning my understanding of his determination.
He then gave me a profound response:
“Why should I lose hope, uncle, when the referee hasn’t blown the final whistle yet?”
“I trust my team and my coach completely.”
“We will definitely win,” he said confidently and continued watching the game.
To my amazement, the match ended 5-4 in favor of the boy’s team.
As the victory was announced, the boy waved enthusiastically at me and left with a bright smile.
I was astonished, struck by his unwavering belief and confidence. His faith was so beautiful, so deep, it left me contemplating.
That night, as I returned home, his question kept resonating in my mind:
“Why should I lose hope when the final whistle hasn’t been blown?”
Life is like a game…
While we are still in it, why do we give up so often?
When our final whistle hasn’t sounded, why should we despair?
The truth is, many of us blow our own whistle prematurely.
We leave the field before the game is over.
But as long as life is with us, nothing is impossible.
Whether our time is half over, three-quarters over, or just beginning, that doesn’t matter.
What matters is that we don’t blow the whistle on ourselves before the time is up.
The referee of our game is God.
Have faith in Him and in yourself.
So, let’s remember that the final whistle hasn’t sounded yet,
and let’s enjoy every moment of life like an exciting game!
Life is now.
Dare your doubts
Have you faced self doubts and challenges in uncertainty
Have you been unsure of yourself to take a decision.
Here is an approach that actually changes the equation.
Instead of focusing on your doubts focus on your abilities.
Value yourself
Dare your self doubts
Persevere in patience
To build on your skills
Keep the faith in you
Focus on your strengths
Add insights in exploration
Dissolve your selfedoubts
Work on your positives
Own your competences.

Inside Outside
Glimmers of light
Sparking through thoughts
Colours of hope
Emerging through the words
Balancing the energy
Within and around
Connecting in communion
Between and betwixt
Infinite is the potential of light
That shines inside outside

Light & Dark
Between the light and dark
Is a dance of hope
Hope that sings and brings trust
In the darkest days
And lightless nights.

Inside Outside
Today I thank in gratitude
The power of the mind
The heart and the spirit
Our body is blessed
With many gifts of the soul
Which we are yet discovering
The strength of intentions
The power of intuition
Of conscious awareness
In practice of mindfulness
Of possibilities in our potential
In the movements of stillness
In the stillness of moves
In the silence of meditation
All, in this journey within
Betwixt inside outside & beyond…

Hope is here to stay
Today I share not one but two different scenarios as poems, I have written for the following verses on hope.
Do share your thoughts on it.
“Her eyes wander to find him
Amongst a sea of faces
Knowing he is there somewhere
Hope is here to stay “
The first love
She was a teenager in love
For the very first time
She felt the joy
To express with all her heart
The joy of being with another
Two hearts so full of love
In a world all their own.
He wrote her poems
And read each one out loud
It was an idyllic love
Too good to be true
And in time life happened
And they parted ways
But the feelings still the same
Etched in memories
And never forgotten
No matter the ravages of time.
Yet life never stops for any one.
Life brings in beautiful moments
That makes life worth living
People come people go
But memories, last at eternity…
The Mother
She is old and wrinkled
Yet oft her memories rush
To that fateful day
When a trip to the beach
With friends and family
Changed her life forever.
For as the sun set on that day
In that crowded beach
She lost her only son
And the meaning to live on.
And to this day, in every crowd
Her eyes look out
Searching for her little son
In a sea of faces
No matter the river of time …
Life has its own challenges
For every life in the living
But hope is unending
For hope is here to stay.

Miracle of Autumn
Miracle of autumn
Colours changing season
Rich burnt orange rust
Fill leaves of green as they fall
As if announcing arrival of fall
Signaling animals and birds
To prepare ahead of the cold
Of winters frost on the anvil
To brace the changing weather.
A season of love & embrace
Of long walks with loved ones.
Of long nights and shorter days
That heads through to winter.
Make the best of the changes.
