The Journey – A blessing
“A relationship is a journey together”
not a means to an end,
not a means of financial security
not a means of emotional stability
not a means of social identity
From sunrise to sunrise our lives are weaved between relationships: personal, professional, virtual, transcendental, divine, and an endless list.
We can define it in different ways but at the core is the desire for some inner fulfillment that never surfaces but is always present, be it with people or nature. Whether these relationships elevate your life or dampen it, lies in the way it is handled.
Howard Roark, our hero from the “Fountain Head” was portrayed as a person complete by himself and for himself.
So he carried the relationships that mattered to him effortlessly but how many Howards are there in reality?
If you Howard Roark is still a stranger to you can look up Ayn Rand Book “The Fountain Head”
An article on Howard
How many of us are so complete by ourselves that we can sustain relationships that only complement it
How many can delve into the subconscious need of a relationship and then work from that plane?
With the crazy busy bees, we are today, relationships are becoming fragile. Instead of being treated as a seed that should be nurtured into a banyan tree, it is easily painted with many needs, demands, duties, and glorification.
This leads to cracks, that widen if left unattended and drills into our deeper self.
Respect, giving space, listening, appreciation, and looking at the bigger picture are charming ways to make a relationship wonderful. These facets are for the self and those involved. Relationships are powerful and make you or dent you.
But my dear reader, you might wonder how in your daily dawn-to-dusk routine, can you linger on the inner philosophical plane maintaining a beautiful relationship with yourself and others.
Care, concern, and respect in reality don’t take much to give. It is just that we are not conscious of it.
Letting go of our ego, small gestures of care, actions of love go very long way in strengthening us.
Most relationships get hurt by un-indented actions, because they done in haste.
In crasy busy day,a few lines remind of you of the inner purpose of relationships.
So if we have surfacing now and then, affirmations that bring them into our preview, wouldn't the journey be more smooth?
Would induce you to send that message that can make your loved one’s day shine.
Would it not remove the guilt, when one walks away from an abusive relationship?
Would it not reaffirm your faith to reach out to people or in shedding your ego?
Affirmations might be a single line but at the right moment, the right words can change the tides for you.
It would create a pause in your rushed thoughts, to help you heal or reach out to cure
They remind you that people care for you , are waiting for you, and that you are lovely by yourself!
Remember, it all starts with you

You Just Have To Listen
“I will make my clothes in 2024” declared my 10-year-old daughter. Surprised I asked her why. Pat came the reply “ I am going to learn crochet from granny and you tube starting today” Though this might initially strike as cute and also about her clearly defined goal, what stands out is the communication. Her first statement speaks volumes. Made me listen and the message conveyed. If the wireless spectrum was visible, we would be choked visually. The world has never been closer in its entire history and yet never more further. People are locked in their virtual world.100 billion messages are sent on WhatsApp alone every day, but we hesitate to tell a simple sorry
