LET THEM KNOW.........!

Let them know.  Say it all.  Leave nothing unsaid.  Let nothing sit in your chest or nest in your head.  Say it in words, say it in actions.  Make a difference.  Be a carrier and put the message across.  

If anyone has made a difference to you or someone else, let them know.  It's an incentive.  Be motivating.  Encourage good deeds, good thoughts and good actions.  This itself is a good deed. It's a mother of good deeds for from here ensues more and more goodness.  

Let them know, tell them all.  Don't keep it to yourself.  Make others feel good about themselves. Good deeds attract more good deeds.  Be attracted to good deeds, be attracted to good people, be attracted to good soul.  

Spread goodness, sprinkle kindness and spark compassion.  Let them know happiness, let them know the joy they have brought, let them know the meaning they have added to someone's life.  Let them know what they mean to you and what they mean to the world.  

Let them know.  Don't hide.  Don't shy.  Let them know how you feel, how much you love, how much you care and how much you want to share.

Love is in the air and so is sadness.  Let sadness go by but reach for joy.  Have eyes for love and hope for joy.  Share your tender feelings......... let it out !

LET THEM KNOW.........!

Dreaming with others

Dreams can turn into reality when you pursue them wholeheartedly.  But my dream is an entirely different texture.  I dream about others, with others.  I live to help others realize their dreams.  I am their companion while they chase their dreams.

In this lies embedded my joy.  Yes, it not only sounds weird, it is weird.  Who ever heard of such absurdity.  But everyone has definitely heard of bringing happiness.  This is my way of doing so.  

Talking about dreams, oh no, don't get me wrong!  I don't sell dreams.  I am no dream merchant.  I just walk along and make one believe that their hopes are possible.  I hold their ✋ hands, steady their steps and help them walk down the path to their dreams. No don't take me literally.  It's just an expression.  But what I mean to say is, I am with them and extend them the much needed support and quietly disappear as they approach their dream and are about to turn them into REALITY. 

But that's not what I want to say.  That's what I want to do and that's what I do.  Here comes the part where I go overboard.  I sound desperate, eager, interested, too nice, too kind and so much more.  I shatter my own dream.  I wasn't helping.  Now I am hurting!

Therefore, I dream alone.  And that's exactly how I started becoming all that I am. By helping others, I built my own dreamland.  I lived up to my own dream.  Here is my message, Keep dreaming!  Dream alone !

Invisible Virus is Visible Everywhere ! Watch out !

What does INVISIBLE mean?  Not visible to naked eyes?

Microscopic?  Hidden? Concealed? Undisclosed?  But certainly not undiscovered or uncertain in the case of this virus. The Corona virus is lurking large, distinct and crystal clear.

Corona virus started as a doubt, transformed into fear, took shape as a disease and was unleashed as a death sentence. It is unseen yet fatal.  It is microscopic yet faster than speed.  But what I really want to talk about is, whether the Corona virus is invisible like we think?

No ! It's distinct and clear and can be seen, felt and heard.  It is making a big explosion, a big noise, a big scene and a big impact. It is everywhere.

What is really baffling about this virus is, it's telling a lot.  A lot more than we ever knew. It discovered us, revealed us, exposed us and stripped us.  

Let me now explain your question.  I know what leaped in your mind.  How?  Isn't that your question?  Aha!  That's it !

To begin with, self isolation led to what?  Nothing, other than self discovery.  We had alone time, all the time to ourselves that we could ask for.  We got to know who we actually are.  What we actually want, who we exactly want in our lives, how we were occupied with the irrelevant matters and people, who mattered and who didn't.  A whole package of self discovery.  

We realized what was safe for us, where  the hidden risks were, what threatened our health and peace ✌️, who embraced us and stayed with us, and who embraced us but were never with us.

We had family time, quality time with our loved ones, enough time to understand each other and appreciate each other.

Above all, most importantly, it dawned on us that we control nothing, absolutely nothing.  All our resources, power, fame, degrees were reduced to nothing.  Something prevailed above all this.  The Only One Who is in power and controls everything.  We are as helpless as a newborn baby.  We are reborn everyday.  Every morning we start all over again.  

It took  just a virus to humble us.  Tell us who we are and where we belong !!

It's my life ! My journey !

 

I set out on my ⛵ boat on a journey of my own.  My cravings for adventure and discovery is ceaseless.  An endless expedition to nowhere.  I just wanted to travel, to move forward, to keep moving.

My restless mind set new targets every morn, my restless heart beat with new rhythm every dawn and my restless eyes wandered in new directions every moment.  I traveled endlessly.  All I wanted was to go on.

I wanted to reach for the 🌟 s, jump to the moon and bask in the sun.  I had new dreams, new hopes and vast imagination. Failure leapt at me but could never grasp me.  I rescued myself from its grip and focused only on the horizon of success.  

Success was in my dictionary, my vocabulary and my mind but I kept adding new definition to it.  I defined my own success, carved my own path and designed my own plans.  

I set no boundaries for I wanted a journey that could chase success and go beyond the horizon.  I challenged challenge and met challenges like eyes meet 🌞 rays every morning when you draw the curtain.  

How and where I will end my journey, I know not.  But whenever and wherever my boat lands,  I want to see contentment awaiting me. Peace ✌️ embracing me and honor 👑 crowning me.  That is my journey !  That is my destination.  Just where I want to be!

Negativity ? No more please !

Optimism is what we need to cultivate in our lifestyle.  Positive mindset will prevent us from tarnishing the environment.  Otherwise we will find ourselves living in constant fear and insecurity.  Often, before making any effort, whatsoever, we kill our plans with our own hands and call them off.

Rather than exploring and taking chances with what can be done, we start rejecting and eliminating what cannot be done.  We lose interest because of our own inconsistency and are quick to blame it on anything and anyone but our own incompetence.  

Rome was not built in a day.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Such golden words are extinct now. 

 In today's world of technology, we have ignorantly put our faith in touchscreen, meaning to say, instant action.  That is fantastic but fantasy.  We have to get back to reality and let it happen while we continue to strive towards our goals.  

Every goal is an indefinite journey.  We get to decide how we get there.  We can make it so exciting and easy.  Sometimes, the journey itself can be so rewarding that the goal doesn't matter, because it becomes obvious that we had a very productive adventure all along.  The distance between the plan and the goal is what matters and moulds us.  This is the beauty, the real essence.

Surprises of 2020

It started like any other year.  A brand new year with brand new hopes, brand new enthusiasms, brand new wishes.  We all looked forward to what would awaits us in 2020.

2020 was exciting.  Like every year, it had its surprises.  But we were not ready for the shock that 2020 unleashed.

2020 did not spare anyone.  It hit everyone fair and square.  It showed no mercy.  It was indiscriminate.  It all happened fast, its fury went around the globe.  It sent us home.  It grounded us.

It turned out to be an extraordinary year.  We practiced social distancing like never before.  We covered our faces, we walked hand in gloves, we lived and moved under restrictions.

It had a lot to say that we were not ready to hear.  Everything went beyond our expectations and imagination.  It distanced us, isolated us and caught us unaware.

It has just been five months.  A lot more to go.  Let us be ready to embrace whatever comes our way.  Let us be strong and steady and face the storm like never before. Rainbows will show up soon.

Unspoken words - leave it unspoken ?

In my endeavor to pen unspoken words, I walked into unspoken deserts of unspoken disappointments.  Let those words be stiffled and left trapped forever.

I tried to get those words across.  I didn't want to nest it in my chest forever.  But it was not meant to be.  Unspoken words met disappointment, was misunderstood and misinterpreted.  Unspoken words did not travel unspoken miles.  Unspoken words did not go far........ very far !  It returned home.  It returned unheard.

Were unspoken words of unspoken comfort?  Did unspoken words kindle any heart ?  Unspoken words heal any unspoken wounds?  Unspoken words celebrated unspoken joy?

No ! Unspoken words were returned.  Unspoken words were laid to rest.  Unspoken words were silenced.  Unspoken words will remain unspoken.  Forever !!
