On leadership.

Poignant truths  to remember for all leaders

You are human and not a machine and so is your team.

You are here to lead, not here to be liked by all. 

You will also make mistakes,  and that is how you learn

You will adapt as you cannot control everything, some things are unavoidable and  sooner you  acknowledge  it the better.

You will be challenged by a few in inexplicable ways , but these experiences will empower you.

Your teams will outgrow you in time, even if you have invested your all in them .

You will learn how to sustain in the letting go , that is the way of evolving with change.

And most of all the higher you climb the lonelier you will feel.

Be prepared to manage  it.

The phase of blur


Between and betwixt
The light & dark
There is a phase of blur
Wherein clarity is embedded. 

In this momentary distortion
The phase holds the potential
For infinite possibilities.
Awaiting its turn to appear
Blur may seem bleary,
But like a bud holds the bloom
Blur holds the moment of clarity.


Fear not the blur
It’s a transient phenomenon
Like all things
Change is the only constant.


An embodiment of uncertainty
Of the uncomfortable reality
Blur takes its time to clear
Like a foggy winters day.


It makes you imagine your truths
In the shadows of grey
Between the black & white
Blur may seem challenging
But it provokes perception
To decipher this dance of illusion & reality

Listening is healing

Often we are so full of ourselves.

So focussed on our thoughts

On our ways and deeds

That we forget to pay attention.

There is a world beyond us.

That’s full of promise

Of possibilities  in it’d potential

To help and heal us

Only if we truly take our time

To listen  well and be there .

Listen to understand and care

Listen to learn and know

Listen to explore the unsaid

Listen keen and deep.

The answers to many of life’s challenges is in listening

Listen  well, it  heals one another.

The divinity within

When every breath is a consciousness
In awareness
Of the divine energy of life.

Of its presence in every inhale and exhale.
Between two breaths  and the spaces within.

But this awareness  needs cultivation…

Of  mindful breathing  as a practice for a life time. 
In it is the spirit of life
And our own spirituality… influenced and constituted,  strengthened in each mindful breath
Hopefully…
A work in progress✨️ 🙏✨️

The light of the night

Can you believe in the beauty

Of light in the night,

As much as in the day?

For night becomes a background

Receding for the light to shine

Brightly the hope that it emits.

Fear not the darkness  of night

For it leads the way to light.

Awakening the senses

A scent that calls in a deeper breath…while savoring the sensation…

‘Petrichor’ is one of the fragrances  that is earthy yet divine to me . There is something  grounding and yet ethereal in its ephemeral  smell. Taking me to places and spaces I cannot fathom, yet moves me.Evoking emotions in the  memories and invoking pleasant feelings of playing in the fields following  the first rain. I am also reminded of green woody forests,with tall trees, where the  air is pristine and pure.


I sense the freshness of first rain on earth in its smell enveloping me. Just a whiff and it transports me to many realms of my own being, as it invigourates me.
I can never stop appreciating it… and can never have enough  of it.

Do you like the fresh fragrance of first rain on dry earth?

What emotions are evoked in you?

Do share your thoughts…

Fleeting moments

There is beauty in this now

But a sadness in letting go

Learning to appreciate this now

And accept the changing moments

As part of every now

Helps envision beyond what is

For all is transient.

Life lessons from trees

Trust trees to teach us

The lessons in living life

In adaptation to change

In flexibility & resilience

In sustaining for the future

In giving,  sharing & letting go

Knowing the significance

Of bonds and boundaries

In networking and communication

Of perseverance in bearing fruits

To trust and wait in patience

And so much more…

Above all in faith, hope & self belief

To grow from a seed to a tree.

Are you a workaholic?

If you let work bleed into your  night
You will find yourself racing with time
Like a hamster on a wheel
Churning in the loop of your own doing .

Share

The way you move,

The way you write

The way you dance

The way you talk

The way you live

Share much about you

Express without fear

It’s good for you.

Remember…

Sharing at times can make you vulnerable

But it can open you up to the strength within.

Timeless thoughts

Our thoughts make us

Who we are

The way we think

Becomes us.

Our thoughts are powerful

For they travel far

Thoughts make all the difference.

Think well

Live well.

Self Healing

Head to toe

Toe to head

Breathe it out

Let it go..

Heal overwhelm

Heal overthinking

Heal your heart

Heal yourself

In the mixed bag of lides emotions

Some get felt a little too deeply

Embedding  itself into the psyche.

And affecting thoughts & actions

Emotions too need release

Unshackle to let go and free up

Cut the cord of emotions

Before they overwhelm you.

Find some time to breathe it out

To process and reflect & let go

To exhale the unwanted emotions.

And heal your heart .
