When the world wakes up to a day
To see the harmony of existence
Exemplified in a rainbow
The world will change…
When the world connects from the heart in empathy
Than with mere words
Then those connects will transform the world 🌎
The world is changing itself
But old habits die hard
Sad truth is all thats wrong with the world today is man-made.
Beyond the darkness is light
Beyond fear and doubts
Lies possibilities in hope
All is meant to be well.

Awareness is unique in each of us.
In awareness, there is an expansion
Of horizons of understanding
Of potential possibilities.
Yet, awareness is also about subtlety
Of understanding and of approach,
Of what is beyond bounds.
An ability to keenly discern
What is better left unsaid.
Paradoxical truth of awareness —
Awareness is both the reason
For the light of wisdom
And the despair of knowing.
Awareness raises the bar
Of comprehension by nature.
What’s important is not tilting
The balance by one’s own doing
When awareness makes us most vulnerable
To commit the very error
That we may learn to steer away from.
Such is the paradox of awareness.

An action that builds confidence is better than inaction which arises from fear.
At times the action is a success, at times , may be the action needs a new direction to be successful but action is better than no action.

Appreciation vs Criticism
A lot happens in appreciation
And a lot is lost in criticism
We are social beings who are motivated through support and value.
Whenever there is effort, if it is noticed and nurtured it finds direction to be productive.
But if it is met with unfairness, criticism, hostility, lack of interest, disregard or disrespect it undermines the ability of the workflow or thought flow itself.
Effects on Creativity
Although Creativity needs encouragement and blooms in appreciation, yet in extreme circumstances, creativity manifests to become an act of expression and freedom of the being.
Creativity may be boosted by a shot of oxygen in appreciation. Likewise to appreciation which is supportive and encouraging, Critical thinking, analysis and feedback rather than criticism can be valuable fodder for creativity. Yet creativity becomes a let out in dire circumstances.
If something is meant to flow it will find it’s way to assert itself.
Value of Appreciation
Yet in the growing years especially, appreciation is an evolved method of correction. When children are young and they sense encouragement from parents they learn, they are supported and go on to achieve a great many things, as the parents become the wind beneath their wings.
When Appreciation is one-sided…
But as children grow up, they sometimes are so caught up in the competitive environment, not to mention the charm and complexity of a technology-driven world, that they hardly have time to take note or care of aging parents who may not have their speed and abilities anymore.
Appreciation matters for all.
Elders need patience, support & care to get by more than ever before without criticism. At this juncture of life, reality bites hard! In this phase, things are not the same, often there is dependence & helplessness. anger and irritation not to mention frustration and fear of coping alone. Age is not on their side and human frailties and aging tests even the most resilient. It’s an uphill road and the climb only gets steeper for life has changed course.
Suddenly time flies and it’s another phase of life, what was once easy to do like getting up and walking becomes the most difficult task to do.
In such times of difficulties, all the heart yearns for is a little bit of love and care.
The paradox of the Heart & Brain
The heart is ever-loving, young & hopeful and appreciative
It never ages as it keeps beating.
The brain is however twisted & contrived and critical.
It deciphers the pattern playing
It knows only too well
Everyone has their turn
For life comes a full circle!
