The professional and the Personal

I have brooded on this for a while and have tried to wrap my head around what separates the professional from the personal - do you know? 

How helpful is your world?

 A friend of mine was speaking of their life goals and plans when suddenly we hit a very interesting point. My friend felt there are limitations in our environment that can limit how far one can reach; I thought differently and gave my reasons, let us see if you agree. 

Adapt or Unlearn

 How many times have you been faced with the worries of how to respond to the things happening in and around you? How flustered were you? Or is it just another situation, you just need to wait out?

The One Who Understands our Silence

They understand our silence 

Know our purpose 

See our plots 

Discern and divide the griefs 

Sell us hope 

And beat the clock of truth in our forlorn faces

They chime the links between dreams and reality 

And stay constant in season and out of season. 

Rise Above the Challenge

Often, life gifts us not what we deserve nor produce. It deals us everything but not what we should and deservedly have. At those turns, we are shocked and yes, dismayed. 

Are you the Tree that never Bends

Many times we wonder what triggered that break or lull in our relationship. Perhaps "it was bound to be" some surmise - but was it?

The Perception of Perspective

If I have a million dollars and a cent is taken from it, I am no more a million-dollar man. Just that cent makes me a 'thousandner'. On the flip side, if I need a million dollars to reach or achieve a goal and someone comes offering a cent; the well-intentioned act of the giver will be seen but as just a drop of water where an ocean will suffice. Same one cent, yet each with a different version of their worth. 

Hit the Stop Button

A while ago, I was at a session where the speaker enjoined those of us seeking for a new direction or a change in our lives to do 4 things - Start, Stop, More and then Less. All 4 were not static as they were dependent on what goals were in focus. 

The Real You

Ever wondered why you seem to be so strange to yourself? Have you woken up, only to discover that a new you is what you behold? Well! I have been shocked by this again and again until I realized that I evolve daily and that the "me" that stands today is different from the person I was yesterday. 

It’s a Process

Do you remember the biblical story of Joseph? How he rose from the prison to the palace - very exciting and interesting story. It is a story of change. A story of a man who moved from being adorned in glorious splendour (his coat of many colours) to the pit and then slavery, the prison and a promotion to the palace as prime minister. Yes, change and huge leap and yet, it was a 'Process'.
