Go with the flow

Over the years , as we grow , learn, progress in life through different stages of learning , we keep changing evolving and getting matured .

Time and Experience both make life ripen with their own effect.

The rawness of not understanding, the ignorance of not reacting or interacting to situations, or sometimes of overreacting all change,as the flow of time makes us steady, calm and more realized.

He who has valued time and understood the depth of its existence in space shall never repent or regret having lost anything. Ups and downs, good and bad phases might come and go, but the one who knows what time is , will never let a chance go waste and shall use it fullest in the most creative and productive way.

It is often said, time doesn’t stop for anything or anyone, it is like the ceaselessly flowing river which finds its way through rocks and rough terrains but never stops. It is us who have to be with the flow or else we lose the track of its course of flow and become alone in this trek of life.

It is the wetness and characteristics of time that drench us with experiences in between to let us realize and mature.

Never stop breathing or thinking ,just because the time is bad . It may be according to you , as you have not seen the future nor the direction of time’s flow. Let things happen at the same pace as they are supposed to be. Never suppress your thoughts, for the cycle of life shall bring before you the same circumstances to resolve any matter that remained unsolved or entangled.

Free yourself from the bondage of entanglement and flow with time.

 

Nothing stops in this world, life still continues!

It was made of wood and clamped at ends and joints with bolts and nuts. The old boat was well known on the banks of the overflowing river that which ran on the outskirts of the village..The boat which carried people to their destination across thundering waves and safely transporting them to different shores stood rudderless today and gulped for air , sinking in oblivion.

Passengers still crossed the gigantic river in storms and dark nights, the old boat is now replaced by other sailing vessels.

Nothing stops in this world after one’s departure. Time still moves on and life continues .

FOCUS

When certain things in life don’t go well or according to what we had planned,there is a sense of dissatisfaction and discontentment.

Very often we aspire of many dreams and goals which are achievable ,but not in a step ,instead they require lot of patience and hard work. This delay sometimes makes us unhappy or we lose the interest in between ,when the path seems long enough and the destination far away.We forget then that the destination or the goal has its own place,we need to travel till the point and realize our dream.

It is the journey that is more hard to undertake and harder is to remain firm on it till the last.

The determination and the focus shall testify the patience and make us reach our destination.

Life- A journey

Someone asked  what is it that makes you love travelling?

I was surprised and taken aback by the question. Is there any charm in sitting in a corner of a world enjoying a cup of coffee and tea every morning form the same set of cup and saucer ,watching the same panoramic view everyday ?Isn’t life more than this? Or is it just the comfort that we crave for? Do we hate changes or are we so afraid of the changes that occur around us, that we do not take the risk of stepping out of our fixed and permanent dwelling?

Our planet is the only one which until now supports life and is a place of enchanting landscapes and facets of nature.

Stepping out of the walls of our house,village,town,city or country ,shall make us believe what we missed by not traveling to the innumerable places.

Nature has abundance love and serenity to offer and any journey to its midst  shall rejuvenate our senses . Even if we travel to a nearby temple or a historical place,every such journey is informative,exciting, exhilarating and interesting .

It is the main  characteristic of a being to travel,the soul travels through several girths of births to ultimately be on earth . It is the continous journey that evolves one,whether by mind,body or soul.

Life is one such journey which gives us an opportunity to be closer to one of the glorious creations of the creator ,the  beautiful nature . This journey of life is an upheaval one with numerous tides and storms . Every step and travel teaches us a different aspect and truth about life.Had it been a static action and not a dynamic one,we would have become stagnant as the scum floating over the still waters .

It’s the flow,the run,which makes the river and the stream alluring and keeps it clean and pure. The flow is incessant and endless until it meets the gigantic ocean.

It’s the blooming of a bud which makes it beautiful ,had there been only buds or flowers instantly ,it would have been the most boring thing to watch everyday.

The process through which the bud blossoms into a delicate flower is a journey of that bud.

Like the birds flying high in the sky,who soar in search of food and shelter. It is the dynamism, the motion of life that makes it more appealing and reverberating.

Had a sound wave never traveled, the classic piece of melody could have never been formed! And Music would have never been created!

The eternal truth of this life is to travel to the destination, in life whether for work,pleasure,peace or adventure.

THE FALLEN DEW!

 

 

“It has been my destiny” said the morning dew fallen on the surface of a leaf.

“I was so happy there up  in the blue skies, amidst the moving dancing clouds “.

It isn’t same here, even though I can see the verdure closely and can feel the freshness of the veins of thy leaf…

“It wasn’t long before when I had grumbled and had wished to see the earth through my eyes .I desired to feel the beauty with my touch.

As I lie here on your cheeks now, I view the world with a different perspective.”

The leaf fluttered in silence and listened to the outpourings of the fallen dew.

She had been a mute listener, an avid lover of pure feelings and thoughts.

As the drop slid from one end to another, she cupped herself properly ,so that it shouldn’t  not fall down to the rough ground!

The morning dew smiled and clung to the leaf tightly.

She had discovered her real destiny.

WHO IS THE FACE OF YOUR COMPANY?

PHOTCREDIT:linked2leadership.com

 

What and who represents your company? What is the distinct feature that makes your organization stand at a different level  higher than the rest?

Of course,your people,your staff and the management group that handles the  pattern,behavior,exposure,growth and  planning of your concern are the ones representing your firm.

The three level system consisting of  the lower management,the middle management and the senior management form the base of any company to run in a successful way.  It depends on the efficiency of the person in these levels and  also on the co-ordination of the employees among themselves.

An organization having people of great caliber and potentials can be at a loss if the people in that talk do not possess the quality of working together as a team and always are head on with every other person for any issue arising .

“A company hiring certain hard-core professionals out of a belief that  masters of  certain specialized areas will provide their company with  good solutions or find a way to  market their products globally or can enhance the output of their  production  is nevertheless like having a  dream “.

Every individual besides being a professional  is a person possessing  his own traits and behavioral pattern.This pattern should be compatible with the working methods of the system or should be  advantageous  to the company.If there has to be a change in the prevailing  format other than the one running in the  company, it will have certain frictions arising within the core,but not a collapse of the infrastructure.

Many organizations suddenly replace  their hired top  personnel out of a notion to accommodate the best talents available in the industry and still go around with losses in spite of having the best people with them.

“A degree of any specialized field will make one well versed with the nomenclature and thorough with the ideal ways of working that is explained in the books,but wont teach a person ,how to deal in certain situations of crisis which are unique and exceptional in every case irrespective of any country. The work experience ,the thought process , overall thinking and managing ability of the person shall endear  to the perfect solution.”

Remember what we had learnt in school is the basic knowledge,life taught us the real ways of living. So the ones who used to sit in the last benches of the school are top businessmen of our times, for they know the real art of running a company and have not stuck to any predefined written methods. They may hire excellent people to represent their company on certain levels and to know  the  views and suggestions of the so-called intellectuals.But remember the wisest of all always listens to the people around him , but  he does what his heart and mind proclaims.

For an organization to run smoothly  with success by achieving the profits and earning a repute , it is essential to have a combination of people  merging together and  blending the top brains with the wise heads and the excellent performers.

One who  cares  for the organization as much as he does for his career,the individual having a real connection for the company for which he is  working and who has  the sense of thinking alive in him to bring about the best from his team and their efforts is the one who can take the organization to a different strata.

OUR THOUGHTS !

Seen a bird flying ! How majestic it looks! The wings spread gracefully  in the air with the  head held high  and the movement elegant than we can imagine.

PHOTOCREDIT:diannesphotographsandthoughts.blogspot.com

Aren’t our thoughts similar and exhibit the same pattern of flying if pursued and dwelt into!

Every thought that originates in our mind has its own life and intensity. Depending on the nature of the  thought either it finds its place in the outer world or dies on its own without getting noticed. Some of these are really exquisite,whereas some have selfish desires draped around.

The ones which are nobler if  focused give wonderful and positive results. One has to really ponder hard to execute them in a proper way for perfect results.

Every flight of a thought goes up in the air to seek and touch the highest point but rarely does a thought touches the infinite peak,when it does it is purely pristine and finds its own way into the world of existence.Many end up in flights which even struggle with the early stages of flying,the ones which do not have conviction as its basic strength and which gets lost in the free air of freedom .

Every thought of our mind  has a power stored within its frame,as soon as it is released the thought in shape of a recoil releases certain energy which helps in giving the thought a birth with life in the universe.

If there is a negative thought and it is as stronger as the positive one,it too releases the same amount of negative energy into the atmosphere thereby harming the person and the ones around him.

That is why ,it is always said to have good thoughts about oneself and others . It is forever advised to be aware of the negative effects of our thoughts,which do have a bad effect on ourselves.

Thoughts are the birds 

flying free in the air,

guide them towards the

best destination,

else they get  hit

on their way and fall off the cliff !

Gadgets diminish us!

With the advanced technologies now at our fingertips,we have diminished the use of the power of our thoughts and ideas! Earlier even to calculate a simple arithmetic sum or totaling the money to be paid to the local shopkeeper ,we used to efficiently exercise our brains to get the perfect answer in few seconds. While on a trip to the nearby hill station or a resort we just knew how much time will it take for us to reach there prior to our lunch or dinner and how efficiently our engine will work for the consumption of the fuel!

The sense of direction also was very alert without any gadgets to guide us which way we are heading for?

The height of our imaginative ideas depended on the thoughts that our mind used to generate and frame.To create a design or to write an article,to present something or gift a person,to meet someone or how to converse,it all based on the thoughts of our brain .

Today it all depends on the mini gadgets that we own and proudly show. The possession of these gadgets is a sign of prosperity and modernity nowadays.To be connected 24×7 with everyone in the world whether you know the person or not,is definitely in..the cool one!

To use the technologies to the extreme case of using it even for suggestions is also applauded.

Nevertheless these advanced and technically position gadgets are useful to every extent and help us in providing pace to your life .They ease the pressure of working and have more precision in the solutions,but they have with the time reduced the power f thinking. The power which we used to be proud of sometime is now gradually becoming zero and it wont be long when it will go under the 0 level.

Ask a young person from the new generation anything and the first instance the person will say ,I will google it and find! Right! IT is good to find new things and get the information,but haven’t you learned anything since the last so many years or haven’t to noticed around ?The art of learning through observation is a rare one now,as hardly people observe each others behavior or their surroundings.The things that get noticed are the attires,the appearance,the persona,the physical disposition.

While claiming to be in love,it takes seconds for anyone to sms or ping a person and let her/him know about the feelings .The thought of pondering over the decision or the action whether it is right or wrong,or justified is now virtually invisible. Actions are without thoughts and thoughts never get generated due to over obsession of electronic gadgets around us.

To think on something is to have an idea about it not by logic but from the heart. Sometimes facts written in books and logic shown in proofs aren’t right or sufficient enough to take any correct decision then we listen to the voice of our mind and heart. Due to the preoccupied mind nowadays the heart seems to have lost its way . It gets astray and abandoned on slight pretext.

The gadgets nevertheless of much use in a  progress are somehow amputating the power of our thoughts and hence diminishing our unique existence!

The best way is to use these technological instruments for a purpose along with proper utilization of our brain and thoughts to ensure,we don’t remain as mere puppets in the buttons of the advanced technology.

Feel the Happiness!

“Happiness is a  gem rarely found ,even when within, we go searching for it in the world around”

Sounds true,for rarely do we find anyone happy here.Does that mean we have lost the sense of being happy or have we  lost happiness forever?

Neither of it, as beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder such is happiness which lies in the soul of a contended soul. Being contented isn’t easy ans doesn’t mean to sit idle and be happy in whatever we have. It is the quality of having a peace of mind with the present ,the art of living ,appreciating the present moment and valuing its importance.

Various are the causes to remain sad and unhappy,from a small reason of not possessing some thing to the big ones of losing anyone,or money ,the pressure in a job,or the stress of handling problems.

Is it then that we don’t have an ounce of happiness in our lives even for a moment in a day?

Remember when you last smiled flawlessly without any intention or a provoked laughter?

Few obscene jokes ,some minutes to criticize the rest of world or having a laugh at another subordinate cannot be any reason to happiness.It is a mere way of satisfying self that people are in more  bad condition  than you or convincing yourself you are at least better in some aspect. A cruel mockery!

A genuine smile always reflects from a feeling of happiness ,it can be for an instant or for a moment. The effect of it remains for hours.

Ever noticed a flower dangling form a branch near your place.Ever stared at it and noticed it seems to smile endlessly without any reason.Try gazing at it for few minutes leaving aside the world ,you will find yourself smiling without any reason.

Ever saw the sprinkling water from the sprinklers over the grass,the drops look like pearls priceless on the carpet of the lawns..The sense of touching the water and having a drop on your hand shall bring a smile instantly.The happiness prevails in such small things.More So ever when we forget the world around us and just listen to our heart.For the time when our mind stops bothering us with its thoughts,we try to live from our heart. to really get touched and realized from the core of the soul ,we get connected to each and everything around us and try to find happiness in everything.

A smile of a child, a fluttering butterfly, an ice cream cone, a gush of wind blowing out our hair, the waves of the sea,

the smell of a delicious dish, the look of your love,

the eyes of your pet,the droplets of water from the balcony on a rainy morning,

the clouds moving,

the scribbling of your little one anywhere in colors,the favorite music…anything bring a smile on your face.

There are innumerable reasons around us which can give us immense happiness once we try to observe and realize their value .

An insight of appreciating  gestures , forgetting few mistakes happening around, letting go the downs and the mental pressures for few moments ,forgetting old sour memories, forgiving any harsh behavior ,enjoying the lighter and minute instants of life would sprinkle few drops of happiness in your heart which will surely be fragrant .

But did you had time to notice this small things ever…

WE lost the moments to see these precious things and we lost our happiness there and then itself.Every moment we have happiness around us and we lose the sense of realizing it getting into the depths of the sadness never to be able  to get out of that again.

By shredding the layers of dust that has polluted our minds and blurred our vision ,if we live with pure thoughts and simple gestures,life would be more simpler and happiness will not be a step away !
