Came across a thought provoking quote by Henry George…’Man is the only animal whose desires increase as they are fed.’
Simply shows the need for a conscious awareness of contentment.
On contentment…
When you consciously plant the seed of Contentment in your heart …You realize how much you already have.

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!
Savvy
Sometimes the simple act of noticing something good can make all the difference…
Trust there is always more
Than what your eyes can see
In the sensing and the knowing
The yet undiscovered good manifests
Right before you for you to notice.

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

I noticed a child monk—he can’t have been more than ten years old—teaching a group of five-year-olds. He had a great aura about him, the poise and confidence of an adult.
“What are you doing?” I asked.
“We just taught their first class ever,” he said, then asked me, “What did you learn in your first day of school?”
“I started to learn the alphabet and numbers. What did they learn?”
“The first thing we teach them is how to breathe.”
“Why?” I asked.
“Because the only thing that stays with you from the moment you’re born until the moment you die is your breath. All your friends, your family, the country you live in, all of that can change. The one thing that stays with you is your breath.”
This ten-year-old monk added, “When you get stressed—what changes? Your breath. When you get angry—what changes? Your breath. We experience every emotion with the change of the breath. When you learn to navigate and manage your breath, you can navigate any situation in life.”
🌹Inhale the beauty….
Exhale with Gratitude 😇
You are blessed
For you have the power
Of choice with you
So choose what to accept
And what to let go!

A Motivational message
To the Young Ones
In your 20s
Life is about to bloom for you
Youth is on your side today
If your goal is to make a difference
Know your road is a long one.
Just a word of caution in care
With thoughts from down the road
Every moment has potential
With possibilities unlimited.
Life is both beautiful and uncertain
It can summon the very best in you
It can challenge your deepest reserve
To stay on course, needs your sensibility.
Be brave for the strongest can tremble
Be stable for the steadiest can tumble
Be humble for pride never wins
Be mindful of the now and tread with care.
Many a person will sing your praises
There will many paths open to explore
There will be many discoveries awaiting
Succumb not to temptation of aiming small.
Choose to think expansive and yet focus
Every thing is on a fine thread of balance.
As you make your choices
You shift and alter your paths ahead.
Sharing a beautiful song by Cliff Richard The Young Ones
So many…
Mountains to climb and achieve
Oceans to cross and discover
Pathways to create your imprints
All this and so much more….
Intentions to manifest and more
Journey to make and understand
Life is just starting for you
Miles to go before you Settle!
Life is what you make of it
Success is in how you see it
Love is how you feel within
Laugh a lot! Live Life Lovingly!
Yes dreams do come alive
Stars will twinkle & sparkle on
Trust your path is in the making
All it needs is you!
God bless you.
Savvy

I start my day with a smile
Feeling thankful from my heart
For another day of being alive
And be a better version of me.
I start and end my day with hope
For a brand new beginning
Of things I can do & people I can meet
Of things I can learn from and share
And see the good that I can do
In my own little ways.
Life manifests itself
From our deepest intentions
Every moment can be made better.
Have a great start to every day!
How do you start your day?

LETTER FROM A MOTHER TO A DAUGHTER …
” My dear girl, the day you realize that I’m older, I ask you to be patient , but above all , try to understand what you ‘ll be passing by . When we talk , I repeat the same thing dozens of times , do not interrupt me saying : ” You said the same thing a minute ago .” Just listen , please. Try to remember the times when you were a child and I read the same story night after night until you sleep . When I do not want to bathe , do not be angry and not encabule me . Remember when you were a kid I had to run behind you making excuses and trying to put you in the bath ? When you realize you have difficulties with new technologies , give me time to learn and not look at me that way … remember, dear , how I patiently taught you many things such as eating right , getting dressed , fix your hair and give you with the problems of everyday life … the day you see that I’m older, I ask you to be patient , but above all , try to understand what you ‘ll be passing by . If I occasionally get lost in a conversation , give me time to remember and I do not, do not be nervous , impatient or arrogant . Just remember , in your heart , that the most important thing for me is to be with you . And when I grow old and my legs do not allow me to go as fast as before , give me your hand the same way that I offered him my much in its infancy . When that day comes , do not feel sad. Just stay with me and get me while I finish my life with love . I will love and thank you for the time and joy we share. With a smile and always had immense love for you, I just want to say I love you my dear daughter. “
Secrets of a beautiful life
Lies in the spirit of living….
Sense every moment like it is new
Such is the power of enthusiasm
Enthuse yourself to recognise
The joy at this moment.
All becomes significantly brighter
Should you choose to see it so!
You have the power of enthusiasm within you
Make life come alive in every moment.
Recognize the spirit within, like a child
That sees the world with wonder.
Savvy
Do we remember to thank every day.
Yes most days perhaps not always. Sometimes life can be tough too!
Are we grateful to life?
Yes deeply grateful
But we often take it for granted too!
A reminder is sent along
In the most unexpected turns of events
Sometimes to value what we still have
To remind us to let go the frivolities
To spare a thought for the blessings
And offer a prayer for them.
And thus pause for a moment
In gratitude for the good and the bad
And all things in between
In knowing all is well
As all is meant to be.
Savvy
Beyond borders
There is something more
To human connection
That establishes itself
On it’s own terms
Between strangers
In simply seeing beyond the looking
In a space of understanding
The vulnerability of human life
Where eyes meet and interpret
Their soul connects.
Beyond race, beyond gender and age
Where the heart brings forth itself
Boundlessly beyond manmade borders
And speaks the language of empathy
In loving kindness
This is the space of being truly human.
Savvy
Sharing this powerful yet simple social experiment which gives us an idea of what humanity can truly be.
Watch this inspirational clip of what happens in just 4 minutes of sitting down and looking at another’s eyes.
You are not the same
You are changing
In every moment
The change is creating you
That changer is within you !
You are the change, the changer and the changing you seek.
The wisdom is in…
Seeing the structure in the chaos and relate to the rhythms in nature.
Following along the infinite beginnings all leading to the same place :’Your true self’.
And in a knowingness that allows you to exercise choice in free will to be who you truly are.
