No day like today to begin!

Yes, today I renew living in the attitude of faith.

Striding ahead, looking forward, by working and doing what needs to be done in childlike faith rather than some burdensome duty.

As a child and all through my youth I was unstoppable.

Boldly walking, never turning to look back and be afraid.

Not looking sideways to see who was competing with me.

My focus was on the path ahead.

Gods’ watchful eyes and loving guidance always with me.

Believing and reviling in the feeling of the next good thing in store.

Nothing was complicated then.

Planning today for a disaster that may or may not ever happen is a sorry waste of time.

So I asked myself what you would have been doing if this diversion had not occurred?

The solution lies in the answer.

Look no further.

Do that.

Opportunity – Misfortune. Same difference!

At any given time growth and success are not restricted to one area in your life.

So, it helps if you don’t see it as such.

Look to the bigger picture.

You will realize that what looks like a failure from near.

Is actually, if you step back the black outline which adds the well needed definition to the tapestry your life.

Trust so as to know, according to what is needed in terms of the when and how.

It will be done, without fail.

Do you see change of course as failure?

I see it as an opportunity to learn.

It maybe a new skill, a new perspective, or time to make real your potential to the fullest extends.

How do I know this, you may ask?

I saw my mother treat misfortune {as others observed it} as opportunity each time and every time.

No matter the circumstance or the demand. As long as this was her approach she succeeded.

This I accepted in my being long before I developed the eye to the wisdom of it.

So I applied it without analysis.

Today I read the success mantra of guru’s.

I am happy to find it’s the same wisdom.

What a terrific platform to move forward on. Isn’t It? Lucky me!

Sisters side by side

A smile adorns the face of gratitude. Today, life dealt me one of the many U turn situations.

How lost and alone I felt in the first moment.

Yet, today was different.

Today, I heeded my gut instinct.

It’s a strong sensation. It was there. It had never left. It was always there with me.

However, I was mistaking its presence as fear and struggling to suppress it. It left me with a hollow and dreadful feeling, time after time.

Today, I reinstated my faith in myself as a consequence it stood right up. I did as bidden, after that I felt whole.

Facing the problem came naturally moreover it left me with my self respect intact.

Today, I learned an old lesson in a new way.

Moreover, the promised miracles continued through the day. I did what needed to be done. Still I could not see till in her inimitable way, simple and true she pointed it out to me.

Thank you, Villa Day.

The Spark

Tasks carried out in a spirit of humility.

Gives the 'I' monster [ego] a peaceful burial.

Leaving one refreshed and happy, lighter in mind and spirit.
Energy returns to where it rightly belongs.

That is to the task at hand. You are now truly in charge.
You are the CEO [Constructive Energy Output ]

Team work is especially enjoyable in such an atmosphere.
It motivates and honors the players.

They are richer for the experience of working with a true leader.
Strength and determination tempered with love satisfies the core of human spirit.

Control is an illusion.It destroys the very fabric of peace in which the human soul flourishes.

Live and Learn

Make everything you do your own by bring yourself completely to it in the moment.

No matter how mundane.Actually its the mundane tasks that have the potential to be the most fulfilling when done with creativity.

Mistakes are OK so long as you don't make the mistake of giving up.

The reward is in the doing not in the end result expectation.
Cultivate the ability to never stop,
slow down - yes,
deviate - maybe ,
but stop NEVER.

Roll with the punches.
Grow with every 'NO'

An opportunity.

Today is a new beginning -
so charged, so positive, so forward.
Yes, we are here today and that makes us special.
Make it count!
That's your responsibility.

When I am turning a corner I do not know what I will find.
I like that !
Knowing not makes me strive, anticipate and live.
I am truely alive !

Every day is a chance to practice and do what I believe in.
Believe it, you are useful even when you appear to be doing nothing.

Each step is a vehicle of learning.
Look not for quick solutions - its the speed not the looking that gets one onto tight corners. Look, keep looking but wait before acting.
