Every night sky
Infinite stars twinkle
There is wisdom in their light
‘To shine from wherever you are’
Each star emits their own starlight
Without trying to outshine others
Together they fill up the night sky
With the wonders of a starry night.

Creativity is embedded and enmeshed with emotions.
To create is to connect with the core and the depth of the being.

It’s important to evolve for the better
But even more important to enjoy the now as you are…and love yourself too!
Choose to live life lovingly!

Truly life is how you live it.
Your attitude your thoughts matter.
It truly is starkly different
The way we feel dark and dense in scarcity consciousness
The way we feel lightness of being in sensing abundance.
From ashes, to rising like a phoenix,
The power of hope changes destiny.
Limitless is the power of positive thoughts.
Thoughts of abundance opens up ways to explore more.
In moments of despair, it truly is about flipping the script in our heads to sense possibilities in the limitless potential.
Unending is the power of hope.
After all…
Day unto night
Dark unto light.
Hope is here to stay!

Social media share of a story translation from Tamil.
One day, in a Berlin city park, a little girl was crying because she had lost her doll.
A young man, who looked about 20 years old, noticed her and instead of walking past like others, asked her, “Why are you crying?” He then said, “Come on, let’s look for your doll!” and helped her search for it. As it got dark, he reassured her, “I’ll come back tomorrow. We can search together again.” and sent her home.
The next day, he returned and handed her a letter, supposedly from the doll, which he read out loud. The letter said, “Please don’t cry… I have gone on a trip to see the world. I will come back soon. Until then, I will write to you about my adventures every day.”
From then on, he brought a daily letter from the doll, filled with stories of faraway lands and the doll’s amazing adventures, which made the little girl very happy.
Eventually, the doll wrote, “My journeys are over. I’ll be back tomorrow. My long travels might have changed my appearance a bit, but it’s still me. Please accept me.”
The girl eagerly awaited the doll’s return. The next day, he brought a doll that matched her descriptions. Even though it looked different, the little girl lovingly accepted it.
As she grew up, she realized all the man had told her were comforting lies. But the kindness of a stranger who didn’t ignore a crying little girl but instead took the time to console her had left a profound impact on her. It planted a seed of great love in her, helping her grow into a compassionate person who cared for others.
Years passed, and one day she came across an obituary in the newspaper. That was when she learned that the man who had comforted her was the famous writer Franz Kafka. She rushed to hug the doll and found Kafka’s final letter hidden inside. It read, “Dear girl… Everything we love might be lost and never found again. But believe… Love will find its way back to us in another form.”
Change is inevitable. However, Kafka believed it brings unexpected gifts and new beginnings, which is what happened to the girl. Even if we lose what we love, they often return to us in surprising and meaningful ways. We should learn to embrace life’s changes and disappointments.
Dreams are the guiding words of the soul. Why should I henceforth not love my dreams and not make their riddling images into objects of my daily consideration.’
Carl Jung
On Dreams
Dreams have inate wisdom
Of your creative potency
Some dreams are vivid
Colourful almost surreal
Some simply black & white
But every dream connects you
Back to your self
There is much to understand
For what is, is not all.
Build the bridge to discover
There is so much to explore
So much more to dreams.
Dare to dream!

Be so engaged with your life that you take all of you in whatever you do!
Find yourself!
How involved are you in life?
In your passion?
In your engagement?
In your purpose?
In your life’s moments?
What is it that makes you go on
Taking all of you
Into whatever you do?
Perhaps…
You have an answer within
You are already on your path!
Creating anything worth having
Can take all of you
To be involved to be engaged
With a purpose that drives you…
Beyond yourself!
And you find yourself!

What is the highest form of sportsmanship in a race? Runner #Ivan showed the world.
Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was a few meters away from the finish line but got confused by the track markings and thought he had completed the race. Spanish-speaking Ivan Fernandez was running behind him and realized that Abel was confused. Ivan started shouting at Abel to continue running, but Abel didn’t understand Spanish. Realizing that Abel didn’t understand, Fernandez pushed him towards the finish line.
A reporter who witnessed this asked Ivan, “Why did you do this?” Ivan replied, “My dream is that one day we can have a society where we push and help each other to win.”
The reporter pressed on, “But why did you let Kenya win?”
Ivan replied, “I didn’t let him win; he was going to win. The race was his.”
The reporter insisted, “But you could have won!”
Ivan looked at the reporter and said, “But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor of this medal? What would my mother think of it?”
Values are passed from generation to generation. What values are we teaching our children? How much do we encourage others?
Most of us use others’ weaknesses to our advantage instead of helping them overcome those weaknesses. Ivan is a perfect example of how wrong this is.
How many of us align with Ivan’s actions?
In school and college life, when discussing competition, our son often asked questions like Ivan’s. Today, we learned a valuable lesson from an Olympic runner for our son’s questions.
Thank you, Ivan…

A wonderful share to motivate good values & goodwill in action.
This morning a refreshing conversation with my mother triggered a series of thoughts on different directions in Hindu Scriptures.
Usually there are eight directions depicted in any compass.
She shared how there are ten mentioned directions in the Hindu scriptures and named each of them. Besides the four cardinal and four ordinal directions it’s interesting to note the two additional directions are Urdhva the highest point symbolizes by creator (Brahma) Zenith and Adhah the opposite represented by (Vishnu) the preserver, which call the Nadir.
It was intriguing to note how these preordained guardians of our galaxies play a significant role in Astrology and Cosmology with insights on how everything connects in life and living.
I started researching further trying to understand more. I came across this interesting share…
‘It’s quite intriguing to note how much effort our ancestors put into demystifying the elements of nature & their impact on us,’
I highlighted this line in the above informative article, because the more you learn of this vast ocean of scriptures you realise there is another horizon of understanding that beckons.
But one thing leads to another…
And that’s how the path of learning grows. And everything connects….

Balancing power play
In a group setting as a life coach it is important to balance power dynamics.
It is important to create a space of mutual respect and understanding.
Being inclusive creates an expansion of thoughts and ideas in openness tolerance and acceptance of new possibilities.
In a group setting it is important to hold space by balancing participation through inclusive ways like encouragement appreciation and rewarding contributions. This ensures the power dynamics are kept in check by empathic approach and moderation by allowing space for all to speak up, so as to prevent lopsided conversations.
Have you had any such experience as a team member ?
Do share your experiences of power dynamics at play in group setting.
