All the good in the world
Flows in to your life
In a simple act of making space
For positive intentions
By subtracting the negatives
In mindful awareness
And consistent practice…
Life begins to shift for the better.
Make a positive intention now!

To dare as much as to retreat
In the ebb and flow of life
Waves teaches us much!
To reach the pinnacle of success
Is one thing
But truth of nature is, it changes.
So the glory must recede in humility
Such is the way of balance.
There is no gain the holding on
There is grace in the letting go!
Such is the circle of life .

Sharing a story with a beautiful message
U will love to read this ❤️
Every day early morning a little girl would come to the temple and stand before the idol, close her eyes and with folded hands, murmur something for a couple of minutes.
Then open her eyes, bow down, smile and go out running.This was a daily affair.
The temple Poojari was observing her and was curious about what she was doing.
He thought, she is too small to know the deeper meanings of religion, she would hardly know any prayers. But then what was she doing every morning in the temple?
Fifteen days passed and Poojari now couldn’t resist but to find out more about her behaviour.
One morning, the Poojari reached there before the girl and was waiting for her to complete her ritual.
He placed his hand on her head and said, “My child, I have seen since the last fifteen days that you come here regularly. What do you do?”
“I pray,” She said spontaneously.
“Do you know any prayers?” asked the Poojari with some suspicion in his voice.
“…No” Replied the girl.
“Then what are you doing closing your eyes, every day?” he smiled.
Very innocently the girl said:“I do not know any prayer, but I know “a,b,c,d….up to z.” ‘I recite it five times’ and tell God that, “I don’t know your prayer, but it cannot be outside of these alphabets.” Please arrange the alphabets as you wish and that is my prayer.”
And she ran, jumping on her way out.
The Poojari stood there dumbstruck, staring at her for a long time as she disappeared running in the wilderness.
This is THE UNCONDITIONAL belief in God that we pray.
I read these two lines by Stan Smith today…
Experience tells you what to do
Confidence allows you to do it .
Will also add…
And patience paves the path.
For all that you need
Will reveal itself in time.
Trust yourself to deliver.
Sharing my photo of a beautiful bloom from my garden…for who better than a flower to express this truth of life.
Think well & trust you.

On thinking well
The way we think has much to do with the way we feel . In the interconnections and interlooping between the way we act and react and the way think feel ,there is much happening in our body mind and spirit.
We are unique in our thoughts as much as in the way we are nurtured and reared in life and living. Our experiences reflect in our ways of behaviour . Hence to impact any transformative change in our actions it is imperative to move beyond thoughts and feelings and try to understand our inner engineering and its significance in the stream of flow from reaction to response.
The energy within is dancing through every cell of our bodies . In sending and receiving impulses as signals of communication there are electrical mechanical and chemical changes occuring within us . The resultant reactions of our body is interconnected to whatever changes are occuring in our psyche and our overall health.
So to change the way we think and behave, we need to understand the interlink between our varied states of being in time.
Every conscious positive shift in our thoughts can help heal in a profound way.
Choose to think well.

This caption caught my eye. Sharing my thoughts…
Agreed finding the self is the key
In every moment of living.
For living it purposefully.
Yet the question remains…
How?
To find yourself
And be alive to life in every now.
Simply be
Be present to the moment
Give it your full attention
Acknowledge what is in this now
Be open to possibilities
Allow space to accept
What is.
Know what is, is not all.
There is much potential in you
That is awaiting your awareness
Breathe in hope and let fear go
This way you consciously create
Space to grow.
To allow perspectives
To be inspired
To aspire in hope…
And be all that you can be.
Any other answers?
Do share your thoughts.

Translated from Tamil by my mother.
What is poison?
Teacher
When we have something more than our needs it becomes poison. It can be power, wealth, love, hatred or even hunger.
Fear?
When we do not accept impermanence it becomes fear.when we accept impermanence it becomes adventure.
Jealousy?
When we are not ready to accept the goodness of others it becomes jealousy. When we start accepting it becomes a motivational force.
Anger?
When we cannot bear things happening beyond our control it becomes anger. When we start accepting it becomes tolerance.
Hatred?
Not accepting others as they are turns into hatred. Unconditional acceptance becomes love.
You create the state of success,
And you never rest on your success.
Success is in the courage to continue,
Your perseverance, your passion and purpose.
Success is consistently inconsiderate.
Success demands much focus
As it supplies momentum
Beyond self-limitations and doubts.
True success is the knowing
In your heart of contentment
Of a life well-lived and loved.
Success is who you are.
Success is in each of us,
Awaiting a discovery —
An unearthing of potential
To sense life’s possibilities.
If you believe your abilities,
trust your instinct,
And give it your best shot;
Success is sure to follow.
Success is an interesting journey and not a destination.
The more you sense the bigger picture…
You lovingly loose yourself in something that is bigger than yourself…
The greater your energy and the closer you are to where you want to be.
Success is within each of us…
Waiting for us to make a move towards it.

Respect your self
And show respect to others
In thoughts words & deeds
No matter how deserving
In empathy & compassion
It is a reflection of your nature
It speaks much of who you are.
Others will respect you.
When you respect self effort
As well as another’s
You reinforce self discipline
And let it guide manners
When you dont allow yourself
To be disrespected
None can take you for granted
Or behave as if you don’t matter.
Care to own your space in the sun.
Respectfully…
The world will be better by it.
Savvy
Where light shines forth
There is always a crack
That has given way
An opening that allows…
Light to shine through.
From darkness of night
Emerges a new dawn
In hope and deliverance.
With potential & possibilities.
Sense the cracking of dawn.

On my Dad’s 80th Birthday…
To the man who taught me ….
To step up to this world with a smile in my heart .
To dance is to have no worries
To live is to be alive to this moment and most of all…
To care to waltz with life joyfully in Gratitude.
Happy Father’s Day Dearest Dad My Dance Guru… May I have this dance with you .?

We are whole and complete
As ourselves in every cell of being
Yet we need each other
To live with and help arrive
To the best of ones potential.
We thrive as social beings
Feeding on each òthers energy
And exploring synergies
For each of us …
Are not just a life
Existing in this world
We are the uni verse by ourselves.

A story from Mahabharata
Once Arjuna asked Krishna-
Madhav.. What is this ‘successful life’?
Krishna took Arjuna to fly kites.
Arjuna was watching Krishna carefully flying a kite.
After a while Arjuna said-
Madhav.. Because of this thread, the kite is not able to move freely and upwards, should we break it? It will go higher.
Krishna broke the thread..
The kite went up a little more and then came down after waving and fell at a distant unknown place…
Then Krishna explained the philosophy of life to Arjuna.
Parth.. ‘The height we are at in life..
We often feel that certain things to which we are tied are preventing us from going higher; like :
-House-
-family-
-Dicipline-
-mother-father-
-master-and-
-Society-
And we want to be free from them…
In fact, these are the threads – which keep us at that height.
‘Without these threads we will go up once, but later we will have the same fate that happened to a kite without thread…’
“So, if you want to remain on the top in life, then never break your relationship with these threads.”
The height attained by successful balance of thread and kite-like attachment is called ‘successful life..”
To flow is to witness moments
Change in the river of time
To flow is to realise
That change is the only constant
To flow is to make space
For something new
Let go, to let flow happen
Let the blessings flow!
