The power of choice

Did we have a choice then ? Maybe not.
Some of the events in our life are not a choice .
They have happened and cannot be undone .
Choice is a powerful tool and we wake up to choices every day .
Right from the moment we decide what time to wake and probably most of our day
And so the we may choose to dwell in a place of discomfort or we may choose to look not to spend our time and mental energy on something we cannot do anything about. 
The only thing we can do something about is make a choices.
Our choices may be good and bad and for those we must take accountability.
Everyday we may difficult choices , but can we try to make a choice.
Can we choose joy over sadness?
Can we choose compassion over anger ? 
Can we choose kindness over hate ?
Can we choose forgiveness ?
Can we choose to love than to resent ?
Can we choose living in the moment?
Can we choose the power of our breath ?

So we do have the power how to feel about a certain situation. 

Some of our choices are only a small change in our thought process. The way we choose to think .

Choose wisely!

itadaki Mas - The Japanese thank you for the meal at the table .

 頂きます（いただきます） to receive; to get; to accept; to take (humble). This explains why you say it before you eat. You're "receiving" food, after all. Itadakimasu (and its dictionary form itadaku 頂く いただ ) comes from Japan's roots in Buddhism, which teaches respect for all living things. I was introduced to itadaki masu by my Japanese friend Etsuko who had dinner with us at my home in Lonavala. It turned out that Etsuko had a sudden pasta craving and wanted me to cook some for her.  Before our meal, Etsuko thanked my mother with clasped palms as a gesture of gratitude, for the hands that cook our meals. Etsuko then introduced us to the concept of itadak imasu and also told us that this meant saying thank you to everyone in the chain of food distribution - bringing to mind the farmer and his family, the truck driver who drives the produce to the city and so on . A second of thought is given to each person in this chain of bringing food to our table. At that point, I remember b...

Be like the moss :)

  Have you ever noticed "moss" ?Yes,  the green stuff that grows all over . Have you ever paid attention to the moss growing on a rock or a wall . Where I grew up, there is a lot of moss when it rains. It always makes the wall look colorful with different shades of green. Does the moss know it doesn’t get any attention from us ? Does it care ? Perhaps not. It continues to provide a great habitat and is a source of food for many insects. Did you know that the moss helps the ecosystem perform effectively ? It plays quite an interesting role in retaining water, stabilizing the ground and removing CO2. In World War II, Sphagnum  moss  was used as a bandage to stop bleeding wounds and it had some antibiotic effects. So some mosses have healing properties too.   Now does the moss know that it is such a critical part of the ecosystem and still does not get the attention it deserves. ? But does it stop thriving or does it selflessly continue doing its jo...

Are you a people pleaser?

A people pleaser maybe some one who just cannot say no, at the cost of making other people happy. It could mean that you want to avoid conflict. Most often than not people pleasing is simply exhausting. Where does people pleasing come from? Sometimes from the need to be accepted . Fear of rejection is a driver that makes most of us become people pleasers. A constant sense to indicate that you may be hurting the other person by saying no. People pleasing would mean constantly allowing people to cross your boundaries. It is therefore important to reflect and understand what your boundaries are . While it is seen as a nice trait in people at a superficial level , it can be equally damaging. You may find people taking you for granted. You may find yourself physically or emotionally drained. You may find yourself ending up in an abusive situation. Being nice to people, may not always be a good at the cost of your peace and the rate of emotional depletion. Learning to say No doesn’t come int...
