Motivational….

Some of you might have read this before but I have posted it as it’s worth reading again and again 😊

Motivational Story – The Bamboo Tree

A man got frustrated with life. Despite all the hard work and effort, failure was all that he learnt. Feeling defeated with life, he left everything and exiled himself in the woods. There he met a Hermit. The disappointed man shared is failure with the hermit. “Give me one good reason not to quit?”- He pleaded the Hermit

“Look”, the hermit said, pointing towards two plants. “Do you see that fern and bamboo there?

“Yes”, the man nodded.

“When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them. I gave them water, light and fertilizer. Within a short period of time the fern quickly grew from the earth”, the hermit continued.

“But despite the Bamboo seed being watered and nurtured for years, it did not outwardly grow as much as an inch. In fact, nothing at all happened in the first year. There was no sign of growth. But, I did not give up on the Bamboo seed and continued to water and nurture it. By the fifth year, a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. And within six months, the tree grew a hundred feet tall.”

“So, did the bamboo tree lie dormant for four years only to grow exponentially in the fifth?” the hermit asked. Baffled by the question the man kept quiet. “The answer is quite obvious. The little tree was growing underground, developing a root system strong enough to support its potential for outward growth in the fifth year and beyond. Had the tree not developed a strong foundation, it would not have sustained its life as it grew.”

“Did you know that all the time you had been struggling, you were growing strong roots”, remarked the hermit

The man learned his lesson that day. He learnt the value of persistence and hard work. The fern and the bamboo stood right in front of him as he walked towards his life to continue to work on his dreams

On Self Awareness

We need to see beyond survival

We need to go beyond adapting

We need to transform our life

Beyond the present perceptions

That we are conditioned by

We need to release the fear and anxiety

And apprehensions that we are living with

We can touch transcendence

Through faith, prayers & meditations

For insights to stabilize and get embodied

In such a stage of conscious presence

As we build our self awareness

We vibrate and tune into new frequencies

We hear and listen more and evolve

In our unique journeys.

Change is the only constant

We are all part of change

Speak of

Changing brains and body

Changing minds and hearts

Changing needs and wants

Processing change…


Is about letting in and letting  go
There is a sense of giving and receiving
A sense of gain and a sense of  loss


In acknowledgement and acceptance
Of the course of nature
In the circle of life


Our body intelligence
Helps in evolving  the self awareness
To  be adaptive and amenable to change


For change is the only constant

Heartfelt words

I cant stop writing about…

Life, the more I live it

The more am learning from it

And the more am healing in the learnings.

Being content…

A realization

Of all that you have

In this now.

Being happy…

An appreciation

Of what you have

In this now.

Being grateful…

An acknowledgement

Of the gifts of grace in and around us.

In synch

When what you say
And what you do
Are congruent
The effect of your words & deeds
Radiates all around you in resonance.


It’s no wonder then that
In a world that seems so dissonant
Words and deeds need to synch.
In harmony of such synchrony
Faith and trust meet belief
And that’s what makes all the difference.

Already there…

Who is there when there is no one to turn to?

Who is there to bear it all?

Who is there to help you back on track?

Who is your trustworthy ally ?

Its you and only you.

Truly …

Everything you need is already inside you!

This one line is a wonderful boost to bring an awareness back of the strength within us all.

Wouldn’t you agree?

Being you

It is actually simpler to be yourself. There is something that each of us can do better than any other.

So its important then to listen to the inner voice and bravely obey that.

Are you too busy?

The art of giving time and attention…

Is worth mastering to have any

successful relationship.

Nothing worth having can ever be rushed.

What do you think?

A scale of truth

Thought provoking

In a matter of scale

We are destroying nature

Than developing with nurture.

Global warming, melting ice

Depleting forest cover

Flood & earthquakes

All a sign of stark changes…

Yes our world is evolving

We are innovating, exploring

New frontiers in space

But how far have we really arrived?

On Mentoring




None can tell you what is the truth
As much as you yourself can!
Often a mentor , a guide a teacher
Can take you near your truth
But  its all up to you to own yours


Every truth is colored by perspectives
Of its own creation.
Every person has a truth
That needs to be reckoned with
As the perspectives converge
There is an emergence
Of the truth of one’s being.

The Journey

Stepping out of our own way!



We are Magical beings in the flow
Such is the truth of creation
Yet often we are blinded by our own self
Clouding  our minds with density
Of thoughts and doubts
For we are so full of ourselves
Our illusory pride and prejudices
Out  assumed notions and convictions.
That we forget we are part of the infinite abundance.
With immense potential in the possibilities.


If only we can believe 
In our being and choose to trust
In the purpose of our being.
Acknowledge with awareness
The spirit of life and living
Choosing to thrive in the flow.
Learning  to allow and accept
The unfolding cosmic patterns
By stepping out of our own way!

Exploring Interconnects

A lot of times Efficacy and Effectiveness are interchangeably used while speaking….

It is interesting to delve into the interconnects between these two words.

Efficacy is about a structured metric.

Efficacy can be situation specific.

Effectiveness is the about capacity to perform.
Effectiveness is effectual result specific.

And Efficacy is the measure of being effective.

What are your thoughts on these two words? Do share.

Carpe diem

So many solar cycles wiser
If you have survived so far
What makes you think
Any less of yourself?

From heartbreaking moments
To unexpected challenges
You have survived it all.
Let the moment unfold

Sense the spirit of life within
Hope is here to stay!
Make the most of this moment of now
Make a choice to seize the day!
Carpe diem!

Carpe diem…. Seize the day!
