A picture that is open to so many interesting interpretations…
Is this a stairway to heaven The path that sets you free Steps that lead the way To the light of eternal truth
Your life is given to you A knowing is bestowed upon you In hope that you will seek And find the truth of your being. All answers are within you To sense and understand Life is both hell and heaven if you wish. All it needs is a stairway to the within. Savvy
To dare as much as to retreat In the ebb and flow of life Waves teaches us much! To reach the pinnacle of success Is one thing But truth of nature is, it changes.
So the glory must recede in humility Such is the way of balance. There is no gain the holding on There is grace in the letting go! Such is the circle of life .
but encouragement does more.Like the sun after a shower!
In every opportunity to teach, train and educate if every teacher, manager, leader acknowledges the value of appreciation and encouragement it will create and leave a positive impression forever in the heart of the learner or follower.
Friend… such a beautiful word! I loved this particular space at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Belgium and felt so much at home there. Although it meant become a friend of the museum…the fact was, there was so much positive energy simply being in it.
Be a friend reach out to care Be inclusive and expansive Our world needs more of it. Care to open your heart and share Express your hopes and aspirations Love life enough to live it lovingly!
They bring nine chairs for ten children, and they tell the children that the winner is the one who gets the chair, and whoever remains without a chair is out of the game. Then they reduce the number of chairs each time and a child comes out every time Until one child remains and he is declared the winner The child learns the culture of “Myself, myself, and in order to succeed, I must remove others.”
And in Japanese kindergartens, they play the game of chairs too And they also come with nine chairs for ten kids, with a difference. That they tell the children that you have more chairs If one of you remain without a chair, everyone loses All the children try to hug each other So that ten children can sit on nine chairs And then they reduce the number of chairs successively With the rule remaining that they must make sure that no one remains without a chair, or else they will all lose The child learns culture “I cannot succeed without the help of others to succeed”
Children are creative innately and their childish curiosity often opens up the spaces yet unexplained and quite unexpectedly so.
Speaking of a child’s imagination and an adult’s ability to retain a childlike mindset, it boosts the creative thinking with fresh and unbiased perspectives. Much is in the way we perceive the arising patterns.
Complex problems are also known to be solved with this kind of approach. In the very ability to allow the self to let go, one’s vision broadens.
Old school methods of education often restricted the divergent expansion of creativity so as to structure its flow to converge in rigidity. But applying this agile & flexible approach can be an enriching experience for the mind and body.
In allowing ourselves spaces for our thoughts to self pattern in free play, acknowledging open-ended questions, of what if, how, why so and dare to dream fearlessly, andwonder, we might discover a pattern that connects the unfamiliar or yet seemingly distant dots.
A child like enthusiasm
Awe and wonder
Curiosity coupled with imagination
That knows no bounds
Could perhaps be a great creative approach
To solve complex problems.
For ultimately it is a matter of connecting the dots.
Every day early morning a little girl would come to the temple and stand before the idol, close her eyes and with folded hands, murmur something for a couple of minutes. Then open her eyes, bow down, smile and go out running.This was a daily affair. The temple Poojari was observing her and was curious about what she was doing. He thought, she is too small to know the deeper meanings of religion, she would hardly know any prayers. But then what was she doing every morning in the temple? Fifteen days passed and Poojari now couldn’t resist but to find out more about her behaviour. One morning, the Poojari reached there before the girl and was waiting for her to complete her ritual. He placed his hand on her head and said, “My child, I have seen since the last fifteen days that you come here regularly. What do you do?” “I pray,” She said spontaneously. “Do you know any prayers?” asked the Poojari with some suspicion in his voice. “…No” Replied the girl. “Then what are you doing closing your eyes, every day?” he smiled. Very innocently the girl said:“I do not know any prayer, but I know “a,b,c,d….up to z.” ‘I recite it five times’ and tell God that, “I don’t know your prayer, but it cannot be outside of these alphabets.” Please arrange the alphabets as you wish and that is my prayer.” And she ran, jumping on her way out. The Poojari stood there dumbstruck, staring at her for a long time as she disappeared running in the wilderness.
This is THE UNCONDITIONAL belief in God that we pray.
They can trust you They can take the step They can be creative They can try options They can make mistakes They can get support They can improvise They can win!
A great team has a great leader who has their back!
The way we think has much to do with the way we feel . In the interconnections and interlooping between the way we act and react and the way think feel ,there is much happening in our body mind and spirit.
We are unique in our thoughts as much as in the way we are nurtured and reared in life and living. Our experiences reflect in our ways of behaviour . Hence to impact any transformative change in our actions it is imperative to move beyond thoughts and feelings and try to understand our inner engineering and its significance in the stream of flow from reaction to response.
The energy within is dancing through every cell of our bodies . In sending and receiving impulses as signals of communication there are electrical mechanical and chemical changes occuring within us . The resultant reactions of our body is interconnected to whatever changes are occuring in our psyche and our overall health.
So to change the way we think and behave, we need to understand the interlink between our varied states of being in time.
Every conscious positive shift in our thoughts can help heal in a profound way.
