Live your life

Dare the space 

Of the yet unknown

Even if you are scared

Dare to step it up everyday

You can pause a little

Along the way, but don’t stop

Keep moving on

Soon you will be steps closer

To your chosen goal

Dare your fears

And move forward…

A step in time

This life is yours

Live your life .

Don’t leave it for another.

So much more…

Hopegiving & motivational words  that serve as a reminder to self.

Feel free to share with whomever you think needs it at this moment.

Let not the problems that come by boggle you .

Know time has all the answers

Keep the faith.

Let not the hear and say affect you.

There is always more than what is said or heard.

So much more.

Let not the passion for whatever you do dwindle

Rest & recharge yourself & keep  the spirit alive.

Let not the weight of what you carry pull you down.

You are definitely not defined by how much you bear.

You are much more than that.

So go ahead, aspire to transform  yourself  for the better

And keep moving closer to your dreams.

Taking a step in time.

And most importantly, trust in yourself

For there is always so much more

To you, for you  & by you.

Turning…

My painting interpretation  for today’s thoughts …

In this dance of life

Turn your doubts to decisions

Turn your worries to wins

Turn your pain to possibilities

Turn  your hurts to hope

All is a matter of a turn.

Smiles from the heart

Being a happy person

I have tided over

The challenges with a smile

Grateful for the dance in my life

I draw energy from movements

As they appear to move me

I unwind and unfurl

My hearts deepest feelings

In the flow of the moves

I sense the beauty of this now.

And I smile from the heart.

As it flows

It’s no surprise

Words flow as I write

As if awaiting me to simply begin

It’s a natural way

That I express my emotions

Through verses in the flow

All at once as if in a rush

In one sitting

And I don’t rearrange it

I chose not to change it

For it is my truth

As it came to me.

As it’s meant to be.

Poetry  is personal

Raw poetry is a piece of  ones soul

Too many edits to perfect it

And you have something

That somehow loses track

Of its own purpose.

Creative freedom

Is there a free space to be heard

Where you can speak

Without fear and judgement.

Without doubt  and hesitation

Is there a space that’s free

To move as you want to

Unrestricted and uncorrected

By unwanted influences & interferences

Such spaces are the need of the hour. 

With the world getting more and more materialistic and withdrawn  and people truly becoming less communicative although connected  by technology  in every second , the human need to be heard becomes more and more necessary  for somewhere  it is drowning  in the  hustle and bustle of an ever busy world.

And as for creative freedom well each every  moment  offers infinite acreative flow that is awaiting your expression. Choice rests with you  what you do with it .

Would you agree ?

With all of you

Think for a moment

When was the last time

When you sensed oneness

With the rhythm of your soul

Took a deep breath of presence

Felt one with the stillness

Allowed spaces in between

To quieten your own mind

And heard the song of your soul

No matter the chaos of life?

Love

A beautiful thought share.

It is of practical value to learn to like yourself. Since you must spend so much time with yourself you might as well get some satisfaction out of the relationship.

Challenging the assumptions

Teaching the waltz requires patience on the part of the dance  instructor as well as the dance partners who are learning together.

I remember a student who kept struggling with rhythm. Assuming he wasn’t listening, wasn’t committed enough or just didn’t care, his partner became increasingly impatient. The tension increased with each error. She harshly corrected him as she clenched her grip. He withdrew, hesitant, his movements becoming stiffer.


I paused their practice and gently asked, what is it they think is happening.
Her immediate reply was that he is not paying attention.

But he mentioned that
while he was hearing the music, he kept doubting himself if he was stepping in rhythm.”

An interesting  philosophical adage   Hanlon’s Razor comes to mind…
‘Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by misunderstanding, incompetence, or a simple mistake.’


The student wasn’t disengaged   -he was overwhelmed. His hesitation was caused by uncertainty, not neglect.

So all it needed was reframing the exercise.

We slowed down and concentrated on trust, posture and our breath. He regained his footing when his partner softened.


Leadership, much like dance, is about recognizing the unseen struggles behind each misstep.


Where might frustration be clouding reality in your professional life?

What assumptions could you challenge today to lead with more grace and understanding?

A simple question

A simple question

Can have profound answers

It’s not wonder that…

Curiosity sparks creativity.

It is of interest to note that…

In asking the simplest of questions 

Came many solutions for the world’s challenges.

Here are a few examples ..

What if vegetables could be grown without soil

The result was the innovation  of hydroponics  and aeroponics.

What if clean water was accessible for all

This lead to innovative portable water purifiers

And  now even self filling bottles that extract moisture from air.

What if  the  plastic waste could be repurposed

In came roads made with waste plastic.

What if we could store energy like nature

This lead to biomimicry inspired batteries, like the way plants store energy.

Let’s never lose the potential  of wonder and curiosity.

Let’s always remember to  acknowledge the possibilities  therein.

What is dancing to you?

Dancing to me

Is being in love with life

In every moment there is a dance

Of joy waiting to be found.

Weight of love

Love can be light

Love can be heavy

Such is the weight of love.

In one moment

Love spreads love

Love shares hope

In another moment

Love fills us with despair

Such is the irony

Of the weight of love.

And yet love is the way

For all of us…

Live life lovingly…

What is living life lovingly?

It is not the grand gestures

But in the valuing of life

With actions that move hearts…

Through the hands that help

Extending care without expection

A celebration of life

In the unfolding of patience

In the spirit of generosity

In the deeds of kindness

In expansive love as a choice

Unconditionally unexpectedly

Living life in every now

With the grace of a being

Leading with love.

What to you is living  life lovingly?

A pebble of love

Creative poetry for the above image.

Born a raw stone

I am a pebble

A force of nature

Through the tumults of life

The highs & lows

Around the bend

Smoothening the spikes

Rounding the edges

Until the spirit shines through.
