Engagement is an involvement
It involves committment.
Engagement is an action
It involves doing in action
Engagement is a focused interest
Engagement can be a moral obligation.
To do whatever is possible.
And be genuinely involved.
What are your daily engagements?
What keeps you engaged in them?
Savvy
Dance you heart out
Walk your worries away
Talk to lighten the load
Breathe easy
Sleep well
Take on only what you can,
Have and appreciate good memories
Express love and love yourself
Take note of the good always.
Couldn’t agree more…
To be able to let go is to live life lightly.
What about you?
Do you have anything to add to this list

Part 2..
On Teams & Leadership
When teams align in purpose
Converging energies by envisioning
Towards a a common mission.
Streamlining the processes
Strengthening the teams
With diversity & inclusion
Acknowledge a natural fear that creeps in
With every introduction or exit
Of a new or older member.
AllayingĀ their fears is allowing
Them to fuse and alloy together
In possibilities of their potential.
True markĀ of leadership
Is in the evaluation and application
In guidance and course correcting
Leader paves the path ahead
Leading the way with trustfulness
Empathetic of their vulnerabilities
Replacing fear with focus to forge ahead
Meeting doubts & insecurity with clarity
Taking decisions to ensure resolutions.
For Teams need empathy and respect
To survive the storms
Both in themselvesĀ and their leader.

Life can challenge us in the living
Each moment can throw us into a maze
That we need to go figure for ourselvesĀ
Personally speaking…
I turn to self reflection and solitudeĀ walking in contemplative introspection, when I need to rebalanceĀ and align myself , as in doing so I am able toĀ understandĀ and reconsider how difficult it has been, given the circumstancesĀ and I comfortĀ myself by acknowledging that I have done my best.
I am grateful for this abilityĀ to writeĀ and paint my heart away, and express myself through arts, just as much as being kinder and compassionateĀ with myself.Ā For in every such moment,Ā I am learningĀ to be a better me.
I also find great solace in meditative movements and soulful dancing that help me bounce back to normalcy.
In difficult times what keeps you sane?
Savvy
Love is the way
For all of us
As each of us matters
Somehow somewhere
We are all connected
In the infinite plan
And each of us
Needs to become responsible
To make a meaningful difference
For life to thrive than just survive
We need to be respectful
Towards each other
To gain the trust & faith
That makes the world
A better place to live in
For all of us
Love is the way

Enthusiasm is the energy in the living
A beautiful state of flow in the being
Enthusiasm is often the reason for excellence
The challenge is in sustaining itself
From losing steam midway…
Perhaps due to lack of appreciation
Or motivation to be enthused
Making way for mediocrity
At work or at play.
Question is then how to be enthused
Into doing the same tasks differently
And break free from rut of routine
Very simple…
Stay hopeful, see life as a potential
Create the possibilities
It’s all in the way of envisioning
How you want to build your truths.
It’s all up to you!
Savvy
Align yourself
Every once in a while
In conscious awareness
With your breath
Inhale aspirations
Exhale inspirations
Share with all of you.
Give without resentment.
Let go the spurious
Let life unfold
Tread gently
In loving kindness
Align In Authenticity
When you arrive at being comfortable being yourself with yourself & in front of others, your gifts will shine through and you will begin make a positive impact on this world.
All it takes is…
Being true to who you are:))
Savvy
In a world battling for itself
It is time to let oneself be as is
Accepting and acknowledging
The vulnerability of life
As foibles ofĀ life and living
It is not a time to be over demanding
StrivingĀ for over perfection
To the tippingĀ point .
For the challenges of this now
Far outweighĀ the craze for perfection
Time to be less hard on yourself
And others around you
And be more grateful š
Gratitude changes perspectives.
Making life a little more bearable
And a lot less complicated.
Savvy
What matters is the…
Innocence of simplicity
In being true to being you
Simplicity of Innocence
In thoughts words and deeds
To each their own!

To care to feed your soul
Is to know what your soul truly needs.
Soul is subtlety, that is ever evolving
The soul knows the truths of being.
And yet the soul never commands
Feed your soul with peace
In the heart and mind.
Steer thoughts to think well!
Take care of the body that houses it.
All is transient and yet…
Every now in life can be better.
Feed the soul with love & hope.
Let go of hate and negativity.
Learn the power of subtlety.
There is no secret to evolved souls
Except letting go, without ego.
The ego has no place in the soul
Let go the spurious
You will be happy!
As simple as that.

We are nature and nature is us .
We are all made of star dust.
We all have our moments in the sun.
We all have our dark moments.
Its not easy for any one of us.
We need not profess to be…
Something we are not.
We need not behave as if we know it all.
Our life is created in every now.
We can alter the way we see life.
And how we choose to live it.
Our attitude is a game changer.
If we allow ourselves to be…
We would bare the truth of our being.
Yes we may be vulnerable.
But in that very vulnerability,
We will find our inner strength.
For truth is liberating in nature.
Savvy
None can tell you what is the truth
As much as you yourself can!
Often a mentor , a guide a teacher
Can take you near your truth
ButĀ its all up to you to own yours
Every truth is colored by perspectives
Of its own creation.
Every person has a truth
That needs to be reckoned with
As the perspectives converge
There is an emergence
Of the truth of one’s being.

If there is one authentic communication it is the grace of compassion. To reach where it truly matters In every circumstance, in every aspect of life and living deeds in compassion and kindness will always make a positive difference in a multitude of ways.
We may not know where and how but the rays travel far and wide influencing and touching many hearts.
To do good for the hurting without expectations of any kind is a sign of a compassionate soul.
GRACE IS A COMPANION TO COMPASSION…
It blesses the doers and envelops them in its infinite and abundant wings. In a jittery world filled with doubts and uncertainty, where in a state of confusion there is conflict and chaos strewn around, these angelic acts of compassion mean and matter much more than what is visible to us.
These humble acts of compassion serve as the bridge that balms the spirit of soul to heal itself. They resurrect the soul and empower the world and correct the imbalances.
Connection is the truth of our being
Our interdependence is so very strength in knowing this vulnerability … for perfection is an illusion yet all is well in perfect balance And profound and awe inspiring is this truth of nature.
Yes, often undervalued by the world for it knows not the power of such acts of grace…it is a relentless consistent work in progress by kind souls for all living beings.
A single act of Compassion has the power to change hearts, and lives. Such is the grace of compassion.

Sharing the poignant yet profound wisdom of these words…
*Autumn Leaf*
I asked the leaf if it was frightened because it was autumn and the other leaves were falling.
The leaf answered, “No. During the whole spring and summer I was completely alive. I worked hard to help nourish the tree, and now much of me is in the tree.
I am not limited by this form. I am also the whole tree, and when I go back to the soil, I will continue to nourish the tree. So I donāt worry at all.
As I leave this branch and float to the ground, I will wave to the tree and tell her, ‘I will see you again very soon’.”
That day a wind came blowing, and a while later, I saw the leaf leave the branch and float down to the soil, dancing joyfully, because as it floated it saw itself already there in the tree.
It was so happy. I bowed my head, knowing that I have a lot to learn from the leaf.

Nurturing aspect of nature
Is deeply embedded in its ways
When leaves dry out and fall
They are meant to nurture the earth
Such is the self-sustaining ways of nature.
Nothing is wasted all is fuel to growth of another
All in the strength of interconnections inĀ the interdependence.
To nourish and nurture
In the circle of creation & regeneration
So much to learn of its resourcefulness
Nature nourishes and how!
