Beautiful 🐝

🧵Part 2 of 4

🐝 Bees go through a series of steps from foraging to sealing the honeycomb with wax caps to protect the honey. All through these steps, the essence is the 'honey'.

💭 Essence - When lost in the complexity of an action...

A reflective Q:

❓"What is the essence of my
journey?"

🐜 Ants start with the purpose to 'collect and store food' for the rainy season.

❓ They face ambiguities and challenges: Where, when, how will they find the food?

🎯 Despite the above, they succeed!

💭PURPOSE: "What is the 'Why' of my action?"

A hammer is to decisive decision, a screw driver is to sustained performance and a wrench is to adaptability.

In a tool box, it is vital we know:

🔨 What to do with them
🔨 How to use them
🔨 When to use them

Likewise in life, its vital we know and have the tools we need to navigate and thrive.

'Mont Blanc massif' like fragrance
In the misty air
Just, fluttering by

'Cheeky mesmeriser' like pretence
In the blue sky's stare
Just, intrigued by

Zoom in to bloom out
In Nature's care
Just, let go of your fear, guilt or doubt...

Iron on its own is a tough metal.
But exposed to air and water, it begins to weaken from inside - it rusts!
Add a bit of 'carbon' into iron and you have steel - resits rust!

Likewise, our wellbeing can 'rust' if we don't practice self-care.

❓What's your 'carbon'....

The basket isn't immaculate, yet it
carried the twigs.

The ceiling is broken, yet it will provide shade.

The road is not perfect, yet it will help the truck to its destination.

I and the Universe around me is not perfect, yet I will do my best and the Universe will do the rest...

Love your creative imagery 👏👏

🚜 I could tell, the tractor had done its morning walk, just before I got there. And, it did a good job too: the path was clear...except for this lone resister, lone survivor, or perhaps perennial persister!

May be it started with the intention to:
🎯 resist,
🎯 survive
🎯 persist!

It all unfolded in Excel London, if you wanna know.
Brought to you by The Meetings Show.
Met a few founders, leaders and speakers on the way
Intention, inspiration and insights picked from what they had to say...

Thank you Shanta... have a wonderful day ahead.

So lovely and lovely at the same time.. thank you for sharing, Vicki 👏👏

🦢 The Sun was shimmering...
The pause was by default...
The view was magical...

🤔 Reflection:
💡It is ok if the routine is skewed as long as I know 'why' I set out to follow the routine, in the first place.

❓"What do you see?"

... asked Dronacharya.
🍃 104 students before Arjuna, described the clouds, the tree, the leaves, the bird, etc.
🐦 When it was Arjuna's turn, he
responded: "I see the eye of the bird, O teacher, and nothing else."
🎯 Focus allowed him to hit the target

⛅️ They are unbridled, untethered, unmoored: floating away, looking down at me with an invitation to appreciate, pause and take a breather.

‼️ So, I did just that...

🤔 I reflected with a poignant poise, that they're on the move - casting a shadow on the meadows and the hill.

#BreathingInTheMoment

Had to stop, take a breather and watch... 🦌 🦌 🦌

Love ✍️

Can you read me in the fading ink
Can you hear me in the crimson pink

Can you feel me in the falling feather
Can you see with me in the elusive ether

Senses matter; but in Nature on the whole
All transcends when you resonate with your soul...

🚦 Ever felt like you're stuck at a red signal?

You can’t go left.
Can’t go right.
Can't move forward either.

But sometimes, the smartest move is to pause.

⚠️Wait for the dust to settle.
 Wait for the right time.
Wait for the green light.

🌊 The waves were dancing but the shore was tranquil.
🐚 The conch was singing but my mind was peaceful.

A worry distant
A stillness felt

A thought immersed
A rhythm observed

❓What's your mindfulness ritual...

🗓️ Today is the 175th
birthday of Alphonse Pénaud, a French aviation pioneer, who invented the twisted rubber to power a model aircraft. In 1871, he built the Planophore, the first stable flying model, which inspired the Wright brothers later. (Source/Pic:Centennialofflight.net)

🐎 Mindfulness in nature...

🍃 Arrive and relax
Find a quiet spot: let your body relax and start observing - no judgements!

🍃 Notice the magic of presence
Watch the movements: the way things move in nature, in my case it was both grazing and frolicking.

❓ Do you find joy in nature...

24 May 2025
🚏 Everyone’s journey and exit point are different.

🚦 It is ok to miss a turn - there will be another opportunity.

🚦It is ok to let others take their turns as you take yours.

🚦 It is ok to slow down, to stay wiser longer.

Hanging beauty...

Try quenching water's thirst
Try curbing knowledge's rush

Try lighting fire's warmth
Try listening to silence's rhythm

Try feeding dream's desire
Try limiting curiosity's fire

All challenging, these might sound
Let your positivity be unbound.

Got lucky...🦊

Soar above the cliff, the wandering cloud or just blissfully float.

Today is yours, rejoice aloud
One more gratitude to note.

Splash colours on your happy canvas
You're the story; you're the master.

Where moments become momentous
Write it with your confident laughter.

🚶‍♂️Having started my new journey this year, there were several junctures where the 'Road not taken' moment had sprung up.

🤔 Do I say yes or no?
🤔 Do I do this or that?
🤔 Do I pursue it or not?

❓I ask to help myself:
Is it aligned to my purpose?
