Live 💛Love🍀 Serve💫

To my dear readers,

I have been debating on my blog… do I continue or do I stop or do I take myself a temporary break ….

I do not have clear no or or resounding yes…. so, for now I choose to keep at it – the intention always is to connect through knowledge, art, musings or perspectives ….

My intention for today’s writing is to share my take on life and times – what helps to make one shift towards being the better version of our selves ….

The answer is always – hold on to your Values.

On a personal note – my chosen values are Integrity, Service and Empathy  

I have written on this previously – however as I grow older, the more I choose to be value centric – the more I engage with people, communities and activities that resonate the same values.

Values also guide one in the way we choose our words to communicate.

In the choices we make  

In the manner we engage with our immediate and extended communities

Living with this mindset – there is also an added advantage of attracting like-minded people who enrich our lives.

Most of all one experiences transformation in its highest form when we walk our individual pathways within the context of our chosen values

I say this with conviction and gratitude – I remain grateful for my upbringing – my experiences that have taught me to do better – the sons I have raised, the  people I refer to as my friends – I remain super grateful for witnessing aroha in it`s purest form in the community that I serve . I am incredibly blessed and grateful for experiencing life and times with my partner who also happens to be my best friend.

” I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.” Tagore

My favourite poet Valluvar ( 4th-5th century ) affirmed ” Service to Humanity is service to God”

With much love ,
