It’s not just about your intelligence
It’s about your understanding
It’s not just about your skills
It’s about your application.
What matters …
Is not just in what you have
But in what you do with it

What matters?

A leap of faith.
A leap of faith Is what makes life a life.
Take the chances
That you choose to let go. Be intentional
So that life doesn slip away.
Take the chance
May be they turn out the best decision of your life.
They say opportunity does not knock twice..
So take a leap of faith.
So when you hear the calling of your heart & soul..
Trust you can and you can!

Channelizing anger
Anger is a burning coal
Destroying the one holding it
Choose to be less worked up
And let go of the little things.
Life makes things better
Anger is a powerful emotion
That is unpredictable by nature
Expression is the first step
To channelize anger issues
Secondly choosing to shift attention
To focus on something positive
Helps to channelize the anger within
This helps in converting anger
To constructive behavior.
Thirdly conscious deep breathing
Ensuring a sense of calm
Adapting to change is another way
By doing a bit of rethinking
To find a new sense of perspective
Helps to see the reasoning well.
Anger may stem from deep resentment, held unexpressed for a very long time. Often it may surface in memory associations quite unexpectedly. Or it may be come from bitterness or unfairness meted out.
When angry, it is difficult to breathe, forget think. As all the pent up frustrations get mixed up with emotions and feelings causing an outburst.
Management of anger is difficult as you do not know when you are going to get angry next.
But tapping into mindful awareness, of the signs of anger and dispassionately working towards steps that channelize the feeling of anger in practical ways to release the pent up frustrations begins to help manage anger gradually.
There are many therapies for anger management but it’s important to find one that is suitable to you.
When was the last time you got angry?
How did you express it?
Did you feel bad after the episode of anger?
Do you remember the emotions that you went through when you were angry?
More importantly did you do anything about your anger?
Who doesn’t get angry I wonder. As anger is necessary evil as it is meant to be a vent for any built up steam.
Management of anger starts with acknowledgement and awareness of the issue at hand.
Personally walking, dancing painting writing and solitude top my ways of channelizing anger. I find myself calmer and relaxed and in a happier state post a dance session or after writing or creating an artwork.
I also like to do work that requires organisation like folding clothes arranging things to get me back to equilibrium.
How do you channelize your anger?

On determination
To the truly determined
Opportunity unfolds
In the sustained effort.
To learn anything new
Needs dedicated determination
To understand beyond exploring.
In the will and perseverance
Arrives the point of knowing
And learning continues…
For the truly determined
Nothing can stop the learning.

Treasure of happiness
Try to make at least one person happy every day. If you cannot do a kind deed, speak a kind word. If you cannot speak a kind word, think a kind thought.
Count up, if you can, the treasure of happiness that you would dispense in a week, in a year, in a lifetime!
Lawrence G. Lovasik
Loved the message in the quote…Build a treasure of happiness.
On Self Belief
It’s easy to get caught up in seeking validation and approval from others, but the truth is that the only person you truly need to impress is yourself.
You are enough, just as you are, and your worth doesn’t depend on the opinions or actions of others. When you recognize your own value and believe in yourself, you can accomplish anything you set your mind to.
Learning to be comfortable in your own skin and trusting in your own abilities can take time, but it’s a journey worth taking.
When you focus on cultivating a positive relationship with yourself, you’ll find that you’re happier, more confident, and better equipped to handle life’s challenges. Remember, you don’t need anyone else’s approval or validation to be happy and fulfilled. You are enough, simply by existing as you are.
It’s common to fall into the trap of seeking validation and approval from others, but the reality is that your self-worth isn’t dependent on the opinions or actions of others. You are enough, and improving yourself from where you are, is the only thing that truly matters. By recognizing your own value and having faith in yourself, you can achieve anything you set your mind to.
Developing a positive relationship with yourself and being comfortable with who you are takes time, but it’s a worthwhile journey.
By prioritizing your own well-being and self-belief, you’ll discover a greater sense of happiness, confidence, and resilience.
Remember that your happiness and fulfillment don’t require external validation or approval.
You are enough simply by being you.

Trustful ways
In any organization
When leadership listens
Empathy is nurtured
Safe space is created
Conversations connect
Teams bond in trustfulness
Productivity rises
In balanced motivation
Both intrinsic & external
Work becomes less dense
In collaboration & cooperation
Valuing diversity of potential
Possibilities are explored
Challenges gets simplified
Structure becomes systems
Protocols are in place
Change is acknowledged
In faith goodwill and trust
That we are stronger together
There is unity in diversity
As respect becomes culture.
Trust becomes the way.

All is in this now
Allow & accept
How beautiful it would be
If good deeds prevailed in practice.
If altruistic ways can become a norm
A way of life and living
If healthy collaboration became a driving force.
Yet…
Any change is never easy
The key to the new pathways
Is already existing with you
You simply have to acknowledge allow and accept
For it to get activated…
And you can embark on the new road of opportunities your way.
To change anything
It has to permeate the psyche
Of the mind in acceptance.
Then there is transformation.
Nothing lasting happens by force
For force gives way to another mightier force in time
Trust time in patience & perseverance.
Everything happens in time.
Time shows the way
As time has all the answers.
Trust time to deliver
For all happens well in good time
Paradox of Beauty
Arrested Development
Great things can come in little packages
Like a Bonsai perhaps
Standing majestic and magnificent
No matter the proportions
But what does it endure to be?
Life without freedom
Is a life of constraints & restraints
A life of arrested development
Is beauty winning over freedom to be
Is the desire for aesthetics and a taste of experimentation
more important than freedom for living life fully
Stunting growth is no way beautiful
Be it Shackles on feet with chains or tight shoes in the name of beauty
On the other end there are many examples of prejudices of beauty working itself in society.
Delibrate acts of elongating necks with chains of gold is considered a norm in some parts of the world
Why is life so brutal to life
In the name of beauty?

Your choice!
Our humanity is within us awaiting expression.
Every one of us has the choice to be humane.
“Sometimes we’re fractured by the choices we make; sometimes we’re shattered by things we would never have chosen. But our brokenness is also the source of our common humanity, the basis for our shared search for comfort, meaning, and healing. Our shared vulnerability and imperfection nurtures and sustains our capacity for compassion.”
— Bryan Stevenson
There is something touchingly tender in every instance of humanity in action be it in thoughts words or deeds.
Our humanity makes us touch the true purpose of our being alive .
Wouldn’t you think so?
