The Power Of Being 'Effortless'

There is a rose bushel in the garden outside my house. This morning, I am getting ready for my daily walk. While I am trying to put on my shoes, I notice a small rose bud coming out of it.

It is a grafted breed, a combination of yellow and red. The tiny petals sneak out of the bud with a smile of hope.

The next day, I am off for the routine runs again, and I notice, this time, the bud has sprouted open. More petals are visible now, and the distinct shades of red and yellow are visible. This flower is going to bloom into something beautiful.

Day-3, now I am super excited and waiting for the morning, to see how it evolved overnight. All through the process, I find, it is so "not-struggling". There is a 'flow' in the pattern. The change is not a forceful one, yet, it is remarkably quick.

Day-4, and the rose bud is now fully blossomed into a beautiful flower. The bud walked through the nature's resistance yet, nothing was ever visible.

Now, the rose smells ecstatic, and I walk past it, I can feel the fragrance it spreads in the air. Now, I know the real effort was within and not without.

The real growth, turmoil, change, transformation was happening inside the bud, and not outside. When the transformation is from within, it is "Effortless".

The Inner 'Piece'

What makes you peaceful? what's your inner 'piece'? What appears on the surface is just your unreal self - the one that does not align with your true image. Outside your real self, you are only bombarded with a stream of illusions that distracts you from your reality. The real challenge is always to let the distraction aside and focus on the stillness within. When the water has ripples in it, you rarely see any reflections on the surface. It is only when the water is still that you see your true reflections. How does the water get still then? When you sync with your 'inner piece'. The part of that jigsaw puzzle that completes your life. It is never easy to unmask your real piece. It is never easy to become openly vulnerable and let your self outside. But when you 'unleash' it, your inner piece takes over everything without! It is contagious, unstoppable, and all consuming. Let the chaos outside not stop you to connect and bring...

Change Vs Transformation

Another year has begun.. Another decade gone. What did you leave behind? What do you see ahead? Time flows every moment undeterred, whether you do or not. It changes ... with every click, relentlessly. So, this year, what do you 'resolve' to do? OR What 'Goal' do you aim to accomplish? Resolutions die out over time.. But goals get you up from sleep. A resolution is like a change that you wish to make. But changes are often temporary. Resolutions tend to stay for some time and life tries to revert back to the 'comfort zone'. But goals are permanent. They push you to change everyday until you go a permanent change - Transformation. Change is temporary. Transformation is permanent. A cocoon becomes a butterfly, with little changes everyday. But a butterfly remains a permanent butterfly after it undergoes the final transformation. The real change is all about transforming life, from where you are to the point of abundance. The point whe...

Faith Vs Doubt

Faith vs Doubt! It is like an electric meter. How an electric pulse moves the needle and stops as the pulse stops. A faith pulls up a human mind and doubt pulls it back.
