Constraints

There are times when situations in life has one in a bind
It may get challenging to make time to relax and unwind
It may not be easy for all to communicate their state of mind
One may continuously think of possibilities to get out of the grind

One may keep wondering as to reasons why life has suddenly changed
It may be difficult to find a way out of the complexities that have descended
One may feel that the Universe has conspired together to be unkind to them
One may get skeptical and wonder why only their life lacks any element of fun

One needs to realize that Nature in various seasons beats to a different rhythm
Each experience is unique as one goes through different phases in course of time
It would be wiser to accept the reality and focus on internal factors to better adapt
It may be in self-interest to be less critical in dealing with situations that one is not adept

An acute sense of perception would make one acknowledge the factors in their favor
An honest assessment would make one develop gratitude and get one out of their stupor
A focus on facing the challenges as they come and living in the present
May go a long way in living a life beyond known constraints and work on their ascent!

Commitment

Another word that is heard often in one’s life across multiple situations
It would mean different things to different people based on convenience of interpretation
Observation and expectation often conflict resulting in varying levels of perception
It is all too easy to get judgmental about people integrity and self commitment

Every individual lives life handling situations as they arise
Their personal choices determine what they value and truly price
Every individual may have motives as different as cat and mouse
Their levels of self assurance determines results on actions they espouse

Not every one may make time to truly understand the other’s context
It may get easy and convenient to label folks under some or the other pretext
It takes time and maturity to realize that people are truly different
It is not wise to expect all people to let out the same fragrance and scent

It is important to set out broad guidelines to help one identify outcomes
At the same time one needs to consider the multiple variables impacting the whole
It is as important to define success parameters that one truly cherishes and values
Yet consider whether individuals would truly like to sample a portion of the brew

One needs to nurture an environment where people are willing to let you in their cage
Rather than revel with pride in midst of people who forever only provide ego massage
It is important to retain objectivity when one evaluates the other’s efforts
It is all too easy to hand over the baton to those centered on only preserving their fort

In this world, one may never be able to please one and many
There are choices that one takes that may appear very uncanny
The wise soul would forever consider their personal life position
Rather than live a life outside in with no clue on their compass and direction!

Strive For Balance

One of the often heard words in today’s fast pace world
Every second person talks about efforts to strike the right balance
It could be between time spent on personal & professional space
It could be between personal dreams & ambitions and choice of one’s pace

The Conflict starts when Expectations fail to converge with personal reality
The Challenge persists since one is not wired to go beyond conditioned mentality
The Fear from within to handle uncertainty and manage the ever dynamic change
The Comfort of staying in one’s zone sustains a life that forever remains within range

The perennial question of who sets the ball rolling to start impacting change
The desire that one demonstrates to have external factors rearrange
The resistance from self to adapt and let go of conditioned habits
The lack of resilience and giving up when one sees self down in the pits

The external factors can only have a limited influence in the process of soul cleansing
The search within may provide clues to prune influences that no longer hold any meaning
The courage to let go patterns that binds one to a captive existence
The desire to create a new future that may be unseen in the Universal lens

The process as always starts with taking baby steps
Observing and learning from Nature can provide useful tips
There is no need to rush the process without complete consent
Life is a gift and one needs to acknowledge this big present

It always helps to communicate one’s plans to relevant stakeholders
Their contribution may play a critical role in reshaping your future
Nurture the sprout of your vision and live every moment with passion
It would not be long when Clarity will beckon and gone will be the eternal Confusion!

Life Line

It has always been said that across situations one always has a life line
It is just that one needs to recognize and acknowledge the given find
Many a time the opportunities are lost due to factors played out in the mind
At various points of time the ego battles refuses to let one unwind

An Adult could not have evolved from a Child without a Life Line
A Student could not have become literate and learned without a Life Line
An Adult could not have fulfilled their various desires without a Life Line
A Parent could not have reflected on his contribution without a Life Line

The Life Line may come in the form of a newly developed situation
The Life Line may come in the form of a Soul whose existence one cannot fathom
The Life Line may come in the form that one may refuse to acknowledge
The Life Line may provide indications urging one to re-look living on the edge

The form varies across situations and does not follow a steady pattern
The turn at the cross roads does not happen without any defined reason or rhyme
The naked eye may not be able to readily spot the needle in the haystack
The conscious mind may not always know how to distance itself from the pack

A body acknowledges the gift of good health when faced with disease
A mind recognizes the gift of fine balance when it develops imbalance
A heart recognizes the gift of life when it is faced with negative feelings
A spirit recognizes the gift of body on assuming a reality beyond a defined form

The obnoxious attachment refuses to accept a form beyond its defined reality
The self wrought barrier refuses to accept a life without a set pattern of flow
The wisdom may be in taking a re-look at the way one develops a perspective
The challenge may be in letting go and accepting a world that goes beyond being reactive

It may be wise to always be open and flexible to occurrences in life
One may like to consider that choices could be varied to reduce impact of strife
One may need to re-evaluate one’s entrenched values, beliefs and habits
The essence could be in comprehending the laws of Nature that seems to live by its own wit!

The Essence of Family

Blessed are those who can with confidence proclaim the existence of their family
Grace follows those who true to their conscience are sensitive about the unit’s needs
Clouded is the vision when one ignores each other’s existence
Heartless is the emotion on display when one struts about with only self vanity

The efforts of the parents to instill the right values and rear their children
The efforts of the siblings to adjust in times of need and support their brethren
The efforts of children to willingly accept parent’s reality and trust divinity
The situations when one needs to make time and pledge their cooperation for continued unity

Countless are the moments when one calls upon each other for help and support
Blessed are the soul mates that they are provided an opportunity to regularly connect
Many are the moments when one loses patience with the other
The depth and essence is realized when one understands that blood is thicker than water

Challenges of time and routine may create a physical distance
Blessed are those who forever demonstrate an emotional and mental connect
Many are the moments when one loses control and longs for solitude
Blessed are the ones who recover soon and display love and fortitude

The true challenge is to inculcate the same passion in the next generation
The efforts should always be focused on strengthening the foundation
The associated memories of the past not remaining a nostalgic mystery
The prized moments not consigned as another chapter in history!

The Love of Your Life

As the saying goes good things in life always goes around in a pair
Positive vibrations of Love floats about in the air
The emotions charged with sensitivity demonstrate complete care
It is as if one is back to the playful days of running around in a fair

The charm of your eyes lingers and does not seem to let me go
The melody of your voice makes me in no hurry to let go the flow
The touch and feel of your hands is so very stimulating
The fragrance of your presence is by itself captivating

The graceful walk and the poise is so very enchanting
Every step seems part of a dance that puts me in a trance
The desire for something more comes from deep within
Every moment spent with you make me panting for more

The charm of your soulful connection
Is but a small step in the journey of time
The essence of your role in my life
Goes beyond known past number of lives

As the wise men say, let us together pray
For events in life to grace us and peace forever to stay
Let the union always be blessed with wisdom, prosperity and health
For the connection to reflect and respond the true meaning in depth!

Relationships

The social bond that ties one human to another
The depth of emotion that it raises for each other
The strength of character that gets tested in heavy weather
The passage of time that judges whether one is truly meant for the other

Each of us gets involved with another starting from birth till death of physical form
The nature of interactions vary depending on the starting point and mutual longing
The breadth and depth of emotions is a function of experience, reflection and adaptation
There is not a single formula in this art of developing and maintaining networks of socialization

Each of us is involved in a relationship as a relative, friend or well-wisher
The quality of output is largely a function of the quality and frequency of input
The time-tested saying of “two hands are required for a clap”
Helps in the final assessment of whether the other is as enthused to be on the lap

There are times when life experiences forces one out of their comfort zone
There are the moments when one prefers to remain within their internal comfort zone
The gift of perception stands out beyond the often quick and opinionated judgment
The shallow waters do not have the capacity to bear the wisdom of elephants

The wave of communication epitomize the charge of life
The depth of emotion characterize the connection of the soul
The oscillation in expectation typify the frailty of human relation
The eruption of joy signals the mutual respect, love and affection!
