Choose to lighten your life
Have pockets to fill with blooms
Let go of unnecessary gloom
Choose to be cheerful
Wherever you go
Carry joy with you
Choose enthusiasm in this now
For tommorow is another dayđ
So you owe it to yourself
To make every day
Come alive for you!

To all the dancers and those who choose to waltz with life….
As dancers we are a lucky lot!
We are totally able to dance with time…
Move with it on time,
Or take the offbeat road to reverse and revel the joy of reflections in the rivers of time.

Every soul emits the energy
Of the wisdom of times
Lived living and in between
Myriad reflections of mind
Consciousness of the heart
And in character of the being
Embodiment of the ego in its essence
Humbled by life time and time again
Until the ancient soul find its own path
Of balancing witness and action.
Sensing the truth of its own being.

Every horizon once reached
It reveals another
Beckoning at a distance…
Horizon is born of hope
Of the beyond in this now.
Horizon are meant to hope
To aspire to reach beyond
In the yonder across the horizon
Where the sky converges…
Is a matter of knowing
There is always more
Of natures grace.
Such is the abundance
Of unending hope.

Grasp nothing
That you cannot reflect
Take nothing
That you cannot give
Covet nothing
That you cannot share.
Expect nothing
That you cannot let go
Become like a mirror
Reflect the light!
Shine your truth!

The way we begin to see the world
Our world shapes itself accordingly
Lets choose to be all that we can be
Cause we can be definitely more
Than what choose to believe…
Lets never feel…
Let care to reach beyond knowing
To consciously expand and align
Our deepest intentions in goodwill.
Lets begin to see the good we have
As well as share that good with others…
Life will begin to become lighter
And we will get wings to fly!
Lets reach our dreams
And create some more…
Remember, all of this can be done
By nobody else but us!
Be all that you can be.

A Message of Gratitude.
5 years on Word press
A mighty task for me
To stay on, dedicated
To my writings.
But WordPress gives the canvas
To paint my words every day.
It encourages from the background.
Never in your face or intrusive.
But silently keeping tabs,
On every learning curve.
Rejoicing by a share
On every milestone
It has been a journey
Of many learnings
Along the way…
To my fellow writers & readers
Yes, I am no poet
Nor a writer by profession
I started on a lark
To dance with some words
To process my own thoughts
And give vent to my feelings
In a constructive and fulfilling way
And express I did
And continue to do, till date
With all my fellow writers
And readers, love, wishes & support.
We are an ever growing circle
Emerging through our words
In the sharing we have grown
We have eased into each other’s hearts
We may not see one another ever
But we have connected in mutual respect
Of each others creativity.
Though the power of words
Comforted and understood
Accepted and appreciated
One another in our own little ways.
For we all know the power of words
That, one heartfelt word can change a day!
Thank you all for being here and hoping for a joyful journey ahead together for us all.đđź

Curvy Road of Ideation to Solutions
When creativity is put to test…
The process of creation to finding targeted solutions in the world of products to services is a long and winding road in creativity. The general assumption is that of a direct and linear way to creativity. While one thing leads to another it is not always a straight linear road.
It is the very nature of creativity to retrace, rewind, edit and reframe until it makes sense.
Non judgmental understanding and
empathy is crucial to creating solutions.
It is important to set aside ones own assumptions to gain understanding of another’s perspectives and needs.
To brainstorm you need a direction so it is important to give a clear sense of flow and the perspectives gained in understanding and emphasizing with the needs, helps to streamline the flow of thoughts towards ideation.Ideation is a result of many thoughts, many questions, in analysis, synthesis and deductions.
There are so many paths in the process of creative ideation like for instance…
Brainstorming : This is a group creativity technique by which efforts are made to find a conclusion for a specific problem by gathering a list of ideas spontaneously contributed by its members.
BrainWriting : Another collaborative creativity  concept at work. Here the ideas are all recorded by the creator and then passed on to the next person who can use it as a trigger for their own set of ideas..
The Worst Possible idea : This is a creative design thinking technique where team members seek the worst solutions in ideation sessions. This eases the pressure and boosts the confidence of the team to challenge assumptions and find better and better ideas
SCAMPER : This is an acronym and each letter stands for a thinking technique: Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put to another use, Eliminate, Reverse.
It is important to know what to focus and what to let go as there will be many plenty of ideas that may come up in the process of ideation. Hence keeping focus on what the actual problem is, helps in finding solutions to address and resolving it.
Then comes the part of checking out whether the ideas are actually a perfect solution by examining the quality checks, fault testing and cross questioning so that the idea can be then accepted or rejected as a solution.
New issues can come up that can challenge the process flow. There would also be new opinions and opportunities to explore and refine more.
So however curvy or zig zag the truth is, the road is full of potential and myriad possibilities in the making. Such is the truth of the creative flow.
Sounds like a good idea?

All it took is a random picture,
And it bought me immense peace.
Simply seeing it made me feel so good.
Sharing it here and hoping it infuses the same serenity I feel in seeing it, to you readers.
There is something grounding in the giving.
There is something nurturing about nature.
There is something compassionate about caring.
There is something gladdening about green living.
There is something enabling in our environment.
There is trust & faith in nurturing life.
There is connection in the care…&
There is hope in every heartfelt share.

Touching the nerve of truth
It is not an easy task to confront
Cause to confront is to be ready for conflict
Be it any kind…
From mental social or physical and more
Conflicts are always unwanted.
But change is the only constant
And life moves on creating itself.
In any art and creative endeavour
Say even speaking & writing for that matter, there is much scope for influences and perceptions.
It is the nature of truth to transform
But not without chaos and confusion
Such is the nature of human frailty.
There in lies the strength of human spirit. (Contd)

Share the Power of love …

Let our hearts be full of hope
Let our mind be filled with peace
Let our spirit be alive with trust
Let our soul dance with joy!
