Power of Expression

The meaning of life is contained in every single expression of life. It is present in the infinity of forms and phenomena that exist in all of creation.
~ Michael Jackson

Everything we do is an expression of who we are.

One of the hardest things to do is expressing yourself and this is applicable everywhere; be it your personal or professional life. How many times have you said something that just didn't come out the way you wanted it to and you couldn't stop it too; leaving you frenzied muttering "Jeez what's wrong with me".... Why can't I get it out straight..?? How many times have you said something that we really didn't mean and were left with no means to undo the outcome of what you just said and were left to deal with the situation when it could have been well avoided..?? How many times have you had to bear the brunt of your silence when you could have salvaged the situation by expressing yourself..?? There is no point in penting up your emotions and building a wall or isolating yourself when you could just find out what mode of expression suits you best. Verbal is not the only mode. You can write it or be creative and express it through any of your chosen line of art.

Try understand that there is no point having your anxiety locked-in for the fear of losing something or somebody or not having the courage to speak it out or fear being judged by what you say. You could get consumed in it if you do not find a way to let it out doing more damage than you could have imagined. Do no hesitate to share your true emotions. What's yours and what is true will always remain the same. Hence, it is important that you learn to express yourself and convey your thoughts, feelings, realization, ideas, dreams, goals, emotions... (the list could go on endless) as apropos. You need to seize the right moment and medium, express and get going..!!

One needs to express one's thoughts and feelings in a way that clearly states whatever needs to be stated in the way it is felt by the mind or heart. Stay away from unwanted expressions and actions like gossip, bitching, et al. It doesn't lead you anywhere. If you indulge in it be prepared to receive the same once you turn your back.

Words... have the power to make or mar! It is important that you choose them wisely. It is also believed that words are just words and won't mean anything unless you act them out. It is true, more or less because through the other mediums the receiver will have to be in the same premise as the sender. That form of fine balance needs to be there.

Our life is a journey of discovering ourselves and defining the "I" in us. Wouldn't it be nice to express this as you keep discovering the new facets that make you, YOU? Once you learn the art of expressing yourself you'll be amazed by the wonders and response to it and sense how much free and lighter you feel. Especially, so in relationships. Its good to be the real YOU and express yourself as who you really are instead of pretending to be someone who you are not.

ENJOY THE POWER OF EXPRESSIONS. Live Your Life, Your Way... :)

Moving On...

If you haven't the strength to impose your own terms upon life, you must accept the terms it offers you. ~ T. S. Eliot Life can hit real hard at times. Some incidents knock you down, some breeze past while some blow you out and bring you to your knees. How many times do we wallow in the bitterness of our lives that has embittered us deeply to the extent of them leaving a dent on us? Be it the emotional upheavals due to the lows in business or career, a broken heart, being grossly misunderstood, lovelorn, untrue accusations, drifting away of close relations, death of revered ones, frayed experiences of being used as a pawn after having been unknowingly kept in the dark, caught in Catch 22 situations, the list would go on endlessly... It's oft said, "Move On...". Do not hold back onto the past, live in the present, dream of the tomorrows that are waiting to unfold themselves with time. Is it really as easy as it is said? NO. For the value system inculcated ...

Matter of choice..!!

Heck, three decades of life's journey and I didn't know whether I was coming or going..!! Seen it all... my dad's death right before my eyes, my marriage falling apart in 3 hours (I used to think it only happened in Hollywood..!!), disconnect within family, career swinging uphill and downhill, ghastly accident, financial crisis, betrayal in love, friends who were not really friends, solitude, depression... the list would go on n' on. Hell, I even attempted suicides when I couldn't take it in anymore but I survived. What did I learn from it..?? I was destined to live . Deep in the rampant carnage of what was left of my so-called "life" that was disintegrating me rapidly, I realized, I had to pause and make sense out of it as it was me and me alone who could get the handle on my life again. Death is an obvious, why then was I running towards it when it was running away from me? Whatever had to happen had happened and it was over. Why then was I not...

Living in the Surreal World

The surreal world, once an evolution has today morphed so well in our daily lives that we fail to realize that it has taken over our real life. Have you had to face situations where you had to save yourself with a smirk or a caustic smile and had the feeling that "What in the hell was that..?!! WEIRD... WTF". This has a lot to say about the socially conscious high tech surreal life, we are leading today which instead of advancing us has relegated us to becoming soulless bodies who seem to have an opinion on anything and everything about the universe. It is true there has been a rapid evolution in the environment around us, especially technology that seems to be growing at a rapid rate and sucking us in its gyre. Peer and social pressure compels us to match pace with its version of representation of what should be our world. Take for instance success of the likes of Facebook, Twitter n' its cult. YES, it has made the world appear a mere speck as against its...
