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!

Whenever I come across a heart touching action, or a prose ,a poem or quote I will be sharing it here in this series…
Some people make the world a better place by their thoughts words and deeds…
Some people, tell it like it is without mincing anything
And the truth in all its profound simplicity tugs your heartstrings…
Beautiful words
Written by
Sophia Loren (Actress)…
_” When I got enough confidence, the stage was gone….. When I was sure of Losing, I won……. When I needed People the most, they Left me……. When I learnt to dry my Tears, I found a shoulder to Cry on…… When I mastered the Skill of Hating, Someone started Loving me from the core of the Heart…… And, while waiting for Light for Hours when I fell asleep, the Sun came out….. That’s LIFE!! No matter what you Plan, you never know what Life has Planned for you…… Success introduces you to the World……. But Failure introduces the World to you……. ……Always be Happy!! Often when we lose Hope and think this is the end… God smiles from above and says, “Relax Sweetheart; It’s just a Bend, not the End..!”_
Worthy reminder indeed!
Worth taking a moment to be inspired by the truth of life and living in her words.
Here is another recent share about her …

There is always a reason
Nothing is accidental
There is always purpose of being.
Let the purpose become bigger
At every step of the way
Remember you are creating ripples
That are expanding your purpose
Of living , of being who you are.
As you are meant to be.
In the infinite abundance of being.

Life experiences…
Life plays on, making us experience one moment after another. Every day our experiences in living life, can become our guide and compass.
Every failure can be a lesson to learn from and tread wisely with renewed perspectives. Every success can be an open door to more opportunities.
Life moves on
Look forward
Pause to rest, recover
And replenish the self
But be in tandem with time
Dont get stuck in a time warp
Adapt with the changes
Move with grace along the way
Who knows, what’s awaiting
To greet you this next moment
Think well and live lovingly!

Attitude: A team is a set of individuals who are meant to align towards a vision and mission. Start of by getting the hiring process right. Hire the people with the right attitude.
Connection : Begin to connect with your team with genuine interest in their work plan, issues and tasks at hand. You are more likely to understand the pain points, their strengths and find proper resolutions
Trust building : Building trust in your team starts with a leader who knows when to engage and when to back off.
Trust creates responsibility and makes team members accountable.

In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous.
Aristotle
Nature never ceases to amaze us
Such is the wonder and awe of nature.
Nature is full of surprises
Every tree , every branch
Every flower, every bud
Like all living things is unique
Yet patterned in synchrony
Adapting to ways of being
Nature is resilience personified.
Every where we care to look
There is something to admire
Something to respect and learn from
Salute to the splendors of Nature.

The ground truths of any relationship in time..
Two ways of thinking….
Familiarity breeds contempt
While the absence makes the heart fonder.
One…
All seems wonderful in the beginning
As time goes by time takes its toll.
Straining the togetherness
Cracking apart at its seams
Creating distances and gaps that grow
Making the memories sustain in hope
Or seek a closure in forgetfulness.
Two…
In isolation and silence
Seeds of thoughts find time to germinate
In both exclusion or seclusion
The heart longs for companionship
The thoughts turn to fond remembrances
Of bygone memories of the good times
Life tries to recall & recreate those times.
To salvage what is left and cherish
Knowing the priceless treasures it brings.
Hence the absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Life moves on and finds new beginnings
Yet in adaptability & flexibility
Nature continues its pathway
All comes a full circle.
Such is the circle of life.

In a world battling for itself
It is time to let oneself be as is
Accepting and acknowledging
The vulnerability of life
As foibles of life and living
It is not a time to be over demanding
Striving for over perfection
To the tipping point .
For the challenges of this now
Far outweigh the craze for perfection
Time to be less hard on yourself
And others around you
And be more grateful 🙏
Gratitude changes perspectives.
Making life a little more bearable
And a lot less complicated.

I wonder…
Where is the beginning
Of illusion in this illusory world?
In the many facets of life and living
Blending hues and tones
In Connection beyond compare
And yet unsure when asked
Where is the blend & breakpoint
In this ephemeral existence?
We are vulnerable beings
In this so called reality
Trying to understand
This illusory life
To the best of our abilities
To be all we can be!
Yet sublime is the point of saturation
Like the subtlety of twilight zones
We are left wondering the why, when,what, who & how…
Of the ascent of light and the descents
Like how the morning breaks in.
Showering upon us the light of a new dawn.
Dawn to dusk,dusk to dawn
Creating the Circles of being
Life happens and we goes on…
Keeping the wonder alive!

Came across this forward today….paints a very relevant picture of times we live in … do read.
Someone has nicely explained the irony in the present situation:
“ Never have I seen
such a mess in life.
The air is pure but
wearing a mask is
mandatory.
Roads are empty
but it is impossible
to go on long drive.
People have clean
hands but there is a
ban on shaking hands.
Friends have time to
sit together but they
cannot get together.
The cook inside you
is crazy, but you cannot
call anyone for lunch or
dinner.
Every Monday,
the heart longs to go out, but the weekend does not seem to end.
Those who have money
have no way to spend it.
Those who don’t have
money have no way to
earn it.
The culprit is all around
but cannot be seen.
A world full of irony!
Be positive but test negative.”
To every question that arises
To every puzzle that confronts you.
Know you are entrusted with answers…
Deeply embedded with in you.
Simply trust in the knowing
It will deliver you the way.
The pathways will reveal itself
All in the right time and place.
All you need is trust in yourself …
And the courage to follow through.
But remember you have all the answers.

On the brink…
The world is going through a severe crisis
Anyone could be the next victim of the virus
It knows not man made differences
Of caste color creed race or religion.
The edge of reason
This is a time of uncertainty
Relationships old and new are on trial being tested in every way.
The need of the hour is to exercise caution, care, and spread hope and positivity
Yet there is still hatred, excess self indulgences all across the world.
There is still emotional mental and physical abuse in relationships…
Caught in the knot…
Caught in the knot is often the feeling for many
Where there is no trustful bond but just a feeling of being bound.
But yet tomorrow is another day…
Boundless bond…
May the love we have surmount the hate
May the good prevail over evil
May the light shine over the darkness of the mind
May we stay healthy and happy in our every now.
May we understand the power of words and spread them with care.
Soulful sensing…
What we have today we must cherish…
For a tomorrow that we build with love
For when we begin to see with our souls…
Our perceptions can alter, re-creating bonds beyond feeling bound.
Savvy
Compassion is all about acceptance
It is inclusiveness in expansiveness
It is acknowledgement in patience.
Its not just a virtue.
It is about being kind to all beings.
It is about consistency of practice
It is heartfelt embodied action.
Such is soul of compassion.
