Why Inspiration is the Secret Ingredient

The quality of life we lead is mostly defined by how inspired we are as individuals. It is the reason why we experience a zest for life and choose to move forward becoming better than who we were yesterday.

No matter how great we are as people, there are undoubtedly times  when most of us feel like the couch is way more attractive than tapping into our "get up n go" or getting down to study for that big PMP exam that you've indefinitely put on hold is not as good an idea as crashing with chips n a coke in front of the TV... For most of us, our evident lack of inspiration towards something or just life in general is an underlying fear or disinterest.

Do not confuse staying inspired with being motivated. While being motivated is more about cashing in on your true potential and feeling a sense of achievement, being inspired is like being tuned into a higher force that draws you towards action effortlessly towards fulfillment of a sorts.

How do you know when you are inspired?

• you feel as though you are tapping into a higher source of energy

• you experience a calling

• you have to consciously stop yourself from  thinking about it

• life simply feels effortless, as though it's all falling in place by itself

• you feel as though you are only an instrument to the outcome

• you feel content and fulfilled with yourself

Inspiration is an internal alignment with what your being truly feels for. So how can we stay inspired? Its not all that complex.. The process is to internalise and understand what it is you are passionate about and stirs all your senses and follow it. When you come across moments when you feel you are pushing, realign yourself with the energy by taking a step back and checking whether there is a drift in your internal calling.

It is a wonderful thing to be inspired in life and I wish that gift for everyone.

What time can teach about Love

I believed.
             I always did.
                      ...and even still in those moments- when I thought I couldn't anymore, I did.

This journey has brought me oh so far! And still there are miles to go ..

I felt what we had back then was insane love, the kind where we couldn't stand being apart. That it was this, that love was all about- the longing, the desire, the flush of pure enchantment and the new experiences it brought.

As years passed by and we journeyed on..I thought, "This is love!" - to care and to understand, to nurture and evolve together. To vest the others' interest before your own and in knowing you have a soul mate.

Yet again, today, I find I love you. It's built on a trust and undying faith that, no matter what, you'll always be there. Maybe its in the acceptance of each other in the brilliance of every flaw. That this love has emerged from strength to strength. Such is this love, that one can't imagine a life without the other.

No matter what the definition may have been, at each time I believed in love.

Tomorrow knows no certainty but we are both here,
                                                                  ...and we believe.
                                                                                      so there will be love.


*Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies- Aristotle.

Vacancy of a moment

A blank page... a vacant book. With no thoughts spurring my fingers to write. It is quiet moment- a vacant one, one of the moments you can experience in isolation. No memories come floating with it. No probabilities of its outcome.   ...       .. It is an unsettling one though, to be blank. 

As though adrift a sailboat in the wind with no compass or purpose.   Imagine that!    Exhale..if I may say so, for it may be the calm before the storm. One that may take your breath away, and leave you forlorn..

Lets hope not though, for this life can be summed up as a series of such moments, and lets hope when they do take your breath away, its to leave you mesmerised in awe of your own impossibilities.

Exhale

..   ..   .    Exhale …        …    .. A deep breath in and a long breath out sending relaxants to the brain, to the heart and to whatever part of your being that feels out of sync. It is said that it is that one breath, that one flicker of electricity that differentiates between that which is living and that which is dead. I also remember a thought which states the secret to truly living is simply to just keep breathing.  .. With the answer being something so simple… let us take a deep breath and just exhale.    Just BE …in the moment…..right where you are… ..being the person you are… just exhale.

The breath is such a beautiful mechanism of the body…With it one can control so many aspects of being, yet with time, we forget it, and it just becomes something resonant in the background, unimportant and almost wasted.
