Every occurence has a reason .
Life is a full circle
The pain and pleasure both are what makes it come a full circle
Grateful for every thing that is, was and will be.
A sense of courteousness envelopes you when you feel grateful for everything…
It’s beautiful to feel so!

Steer your thoughts
Every thought matters
Be the master of this moment
Be mindful of this now
Every positive thought seeded
Paves the way for more…
Seeds of Positivity
Think well
And feel better.

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
Have always fancied the flight of birds
Dancing with the winds soaring the skies.
To far off lands & destination unknown.
With th spirit and soul free
And yet…
What has mere wings got to do with flying?
To most it would seem everything
For without wings there is no flight
But then to truly fly is to reach beyond.
Free of being bound!
Beyond knowing is imagination
Imagination is a journey without wings
For with your thoughts you fly free
And tirelessly into infinity
For wings may sense the weight of the journey
But heartfelt intention can take you afar
As far as you aim to go
Across dimensions of space & time.
Exploring possibilities and more.
So it’s not what you have
But what you do with what you have
It’s all in your passionate will & intention
What you choose to accomplish in time
Savvy
Life can never thrive in suppression
Or in denial and disapproval.
Or control and criticism
Choose to appreciate and approve.
Let go of the nagging and niggles.
Let go of judgements, fear and worry
Life is in each of us just the same.
Nurture life to live.
Engage with it lovingly
Life can be beautiful!
Live and let live.

Sharing a touching story of truths of life and living…
THE HAPPIEST MAN
When Billionaire Femi Otedola in a telephone interview, was asked by the radio presenter, “Sir what can you remember made you the happiest man in life?”
Femi said: “I have gone through four stages of happiness in life and finally I understood the meaning of true happiness.”
The first stage was to accumulate wealth and means. But at this stage I did not get the happiness I wanted.
Then came the second stage of collecting valuables and items. But I realized that the effect of this thing is also temporary and the lustre of valuable things does not last long.
Then came the third stage of getting big projects. That was when I was holding 95% of diesel supply in Nigeria and Africa. I was also the largest vessel owner in Africa and Asia. But even here I did not get the happiness I had imagined.
The fourth stage was the time a friend of mine asked me to buy wheelchair for some disabled children. Just about 200 kids.
At the friend’s request, I immediately bought the wheelchairs. But the friend insisted that I go with him and hand over the wheelchairs to the children. I got ready and went with him.
There I gave these wheel chairs to these children with my own hands. I saw the strange glow of happiness on the faces of these children. I saw them all sitting on the wheelchairs, moving around and having fun.
It was as if they had arrived at a picnic spot where they are sharing a jackpot wining.
I felt real joy inside me. When I decided to leave one of the kids grabbed my legs. I tried to free my legs gently but the child stared at my face and held my legs tightly. I bent down and asked the child: Do you need something else?
The answer this child gave me not only made me happy but also changed my attitude to life completely. This child said: “I want to remember your face so that when I meet you in heaven, I will be able to recognize you and thank you once again”.
What would you be remembered for after you leave that office or place?
Will anyone desire to see your face again where it all matters?
Think! Live your life in a manner that others desire to see your face again.
When we care to truly listen
We can hear our soul’s calling.
In the journey of life
Every one of us
Has a unique pathway
That is our reason to be
That makes us feel fulfillment
That speaks to us with all of our heart
That makes us see the signs
How far would you go
To find your pathway?
Savvy
No matter what paths life takes you
No matter the circumstances you are in
No matter how tedious the journey
It’s all in you, and the attitude you have
And choose to cultivate in time
Life can challenge or you can change
Your way of seeing life
You can create joy or sorrow
As you choose to see life.
As you wish to live life
It’s all in you!

If you are a leader…
Credit your teams wins to them
Celebrate their individual wins
Appreciate their work
Acknowledge their perseverance
Applaud their dedication
Empathize with them by listening well.
Encourage their efforts with training
Reward them with recognition.
Value their perspectives
Be a guide so they can follow
For without a follower there is no leader.

If Creativity were to be all yang
Flowing along in infinite abundance
The mystic of this mistress is magnetic
Almost hovering on the hypnotic
And yet…
Creativity is a dance of balance
Of the yin and yang
Omnipresent in the flow.
In the unforgiving toughness
Is the challenge to continue
In her demands to deliver
Is the discipline of approach
In the chiding of the critiques
Is the attempt to evolve
Beyond the punishing schedules.
And in that trusting knowing
Actors act, sculptors sculpt
Writers write, painters paint
Singers sing, dancers dance
Finding purpose in the passion
In the artistry of creativity.
And as art empowers in the connectivity
Life carries on…!

Sharing my swirl artwork called Vorticity. This I created with my some of favourite colors to suit the mood of the day!
Vorticity
In the core is the dynamics of the flow ,
Sense the spiralling fluidity
Of the momentum moving along in circles
In the whirling is the dance of energy.
Savvy
Life is what you make of it!
It can be the way you choose it to be!
It is a reflection of your state of being.
Life is heaven or hell in this now
Truly beautiful or unbearable
All in the how you want to see it.
It’s not about perfection
For nobody’s perfect
Life & living can be perfectly Imperfect
Seek excellence if you must
Seek to be the best version of you!
And find the wonderful in today!
Savvy
Life challenges us all in every moment
Yet love is the way to surmount the odds
For life to truly thrive in wellbeing
Making this world a better place.

Every life has a unique story.
Every living has a unique pathway

This is the story of Cara Khan whose sense of spirit & adventure made her dare the seemingly impossible …
Cara E. Yar Khan is an international human rights advocate promoting the inclusion of people with disabilities within all facets of society.
Thank you my dear friend Ali Anani, for it was you who shared the above Ted talk link and suggested I share a few thoughts on her.
I dedicate these following verses to her daring spirit and dancing soul!
Life is
Inexplicable uncertainty in the now
Undefinable strength in the moment
Unimaginable challenges that arise
Infinite possibilities in the potential
Unstoppable hope in the living
Be it in strength or inspite of weakness
No matter the threats or unexpected opportunities
Life shapes and moulds in experience
Be it the desires, wants or needs
Life is a journey unto itself
Life is a circle in the living.
In salute to the very courageous Cara E. Yar Khan
Her inspirational life story is an epitome of the magic of living a bigger bolder and yet a purpose driven life,
In her I see the verve, and enthusiasm in pursuit of her Passions
and her drive towards her Purpose
as much as the Perseverance to attain it.
And when these 3 Ps combine, success is bound to manifest itself.
What matters is that she ignored what was preposterous and dared to dream.
Ignore the naysayers
You have one life
Live it well
Give it the best you have got!
Keep the faith in trust and self belief
Let go of illusions of less in assumptions
You have everything you need within you
In daring beyond doubts &fear
Living life lovingly!
Truly nothing is insurmountable
There is in you, the power
That manifests when you need it most
You may not know the strength
And capabilities that you are carrying.
But it is always there with you
Simply trust in yourself
To be there for you!
You are more than enough for you!
