Inclusive relationships

Inclusive relationships, the world according to me are that humans are to live, life as communities, at work, at home to the benefit of the universe. As we are made to give and receive love. Secondly to be in community gives shared meaning to life. It is also a process of healing, support and development, for the giver as well as the receiver.

Where then the idea of inclusive relationships; it all starts on a level of each individual. What are our pure intention to contribute or not? The question then arise what is contribution? I would say it is when I “serve” somebody and they experience it as a contribution, now or in the future?

What will your contribution be to create mutual beneficial relationships? Think about it as you go through the week.

May your week be blessed!

Biggest room in the world…

Biggest room in the world…

How we see ourselves compared to how other see us is two different interpretations.
Most probably how your boss sees you compared to how the car-watch see you will also differ. The most important fact is to acknowledge my own short-comings and to grow accordingly. As the biggest room in world, is the room for self-improvement.
Now what can one do?
Create awareness of how we act in different situations and why?
Journal our days, so that we get into a habit of reflecting?
Sit somewhere during a day for at least five minutes and do nothing and also think of nothing? Quite the mind? Note the resistance in these moments.
Listen and look at others reactions?

I once read the following words: "If you want to change the world, change yourself".

Enjoy the quite moments during the weekend to reflect….

The law of community…

The law of community…If we look at nature a lot of elements need to work in synergy, so that nature can flourish. We need the ground, sunshine and rain, the grass, trees, animals, insects…..

Each of these elements need to compliment each other so that the element can flourish as well as nature it self.

If we then look at us as human beings, all of us have our own unique gifts to offer. So why do we not firstly life to our fullest to offer our gifts to each other, and secondly why do we not accept other for their uniqueness they can offer to us and the communities?

Life your own uniqueness and value the unique in other…

Life is like a garden what you sow and cultivate .....

Art of Living….

Life is like a garden what you sow and cultivate that is what you will reap.

Let’s explore the sow part first. What we sow refers in my mind to our thoughts and our actions. So it simple means what are we thinking and doing in the moment. Dwelling in the past or the future with no positive action in the now will take you and me no where.

However thing must be done with mindfulness, as we are human being and not doings… we will ponder on this on another day.

Point number two is the fact of cultivating… Life sometimes just happen, if this is “bad”, are we going to cultivate and even nurture these moments ore are we going to focus on the moment and the next thing that will take me to my dream, fulfilling my purpose?

May your moments create a blossoming garden in your life….
