The Manifesting Way Part II

There is a very special reason why we’re created the way we are!  And when we CONNECT the circuit we realise that every reality is born from a deeper INTENT to be RIGHT. The CONNECTORS are various little incidents that take place in our everyday lives

For a large part of my life I’ve lived in the shadow of being told that I’m quite SELF obsessed by some and SELFLESS by others. Till I realised, that knowingly or unknowingly I had created that perspective on the basis of a mental division between those who I SOUGHT from and those I felt I OUGHT to give!!  From both sources jointly I realise that I am a CELEBRITY in my own world and that is fantastic… for only when I am happy being with I, ME and MYSELF can I extend my thoughts and emotions to being with YOU when you need me. I connected the joy of being PART I to the GREATER JOY of BEING PART II and the multiplied joy of knowing that ;)

I wonder why we are so scared of being our own favourite people in the world… I can tell you… for me personally, it WAS about being accepted and so… to each person I’d be their PERFECT friend, family or foe… they got to choose… I just played along… One would make me feel guilty about falling short and the other would get worked up about me lying prostrate and the third… well… they wondered What a PAIN IN THE ASS!!! What is the most fascinating part of the whole understanding… is that UNKNOWINGLY I had set barriers and boundaries! Breaking them down… wow… fabulous… I can see clearly now

You will be surprised, when you observe your own life with all honesty. The greatest decisions you’ve made have been MOTIVATED by an INSTINCT to follow through from a thought that comes strongly to you. The weakest decisions are MOTIVATED by your eagerness to please anyone other than yourself.

When I look forward, now, I can see clearly that in being MY FAVOURITE person. I take decisions that make ME feel important in my own life and in taking care of ME it is easier to look into the eyes of another and see the reality of the INTENT instead of the REALITY they INTEND to sell me. I look at the reasons why things aren’t the way I want them to be is not because they aren’t ready to manifest, I’ve created INTENT blocks in the free flow of thought and word that have become  my imaginary hurdles in the process.

I’ve also have the power to understand that the PERSPECTIVE in any given situation will hold true ONLY if the foundation is YOU. That all else, books, people, conversations, relationships, things, basically ALL THAT IS… are only reference points. None of them have the UNIQUE ability to be YOU.

Sometimes, we know more that we give ourselves credit for, we are also influenced beyond doubt by people we TRUST… the truth though, has nothing to do with them, it has to do with our own ability to UNDERSTAND our GREATEST STRENGTHS and WEAKNESSES… One of the most profound discoveries I made… Is to understand that

my personal strengths and weaknesses were founded in my own thoughts before they became the reality of NOW

We’ve become so CONDITIONED to NOT BE OUR OWN FAVOURITE PERSON… not by the INTENT that WE don’t want to BE… It is by the INTENT of WHAT WE DON’T WANT OTHERS TO REJECT!! Give it a thought!!

Honestly Opinionated!!

This is a blog to just vent a few random thoughts and I can promise you… this is going in all random directions ;) I have had the pleasure of spending an entire week with my nephew Veer and its been so much fun. Its funny to note, that I’ve left my mobile phone home alone and minus me for most of the time. I’ve been on Facebook for 7 minutes a day… since the computer has been occupied by Veer, with permission from me. I’ve slept like a baby… since my worry is Veer falling off the bed in his bid to complete the clock before he wakes up in the morning. Its fascinating to make a note of how life changes when there is a child in the house. Kudos to all the Mommies I know!!! Its phenomenal how alert you become to even a change in breathing pattern.

Catching up on television hasn’t been too much of a treat… all the serials seem to be getting PREDICTABLE… damn. The new shows… Chak Dhoom Dhoom and DID Lil Masters… rocks… the kids are absolutely brilliant!! Have to mention the little girl Swasti on CDD who, is all of 6 (I hope I’ve got it right) and is absolutely brilliant… to say the least. She choreographs herself and also has an apt expression for every WORD… I wonder if she somehow is related really distantly to Saroj Khan herself ;) Thank God that freakin Bindu Dara Singh isn’t on the main show… damn… Pravesh is such a cannotBE, Pony Verma (I am wondering if her sisters and brothers are other little animals as well). I miss Geeta Ma, Remo and Terrence on DID… I quite like Sandeep Soparkar, Farah Khan gives me a freaking headache… I am told that DID lil masters is following the So      you Think you can dance” format, which is why you have the skippers who are ex participants of the show. Mithun Da is brilliant as always… looking forward to the weeks to come!

While on the subject of DANCE… have any of you been following ZND on Star Plus!! HORRID HORRID HORRID… The show loses total credibility… I used to be very fond of Arshad Warsi, till I see him flanked by Shilpa and Vaibhavi… who are SOOOOOOO PUT on… that you wonder if you’re sane to even be following that show.

Something GOOD too is happening… Indian Idol… WOW… fantastic… I don’t mind having to tolerate Anu Mallik, the rest of it is brilliant!! What voices… phenomenal… personally I quite like Arpita for now. I guess the production quality has something to do with WIZCRAFT involvement with the show… I’ll always be a proud ex WIZ for the aura that the brand presence brings to anyone who is touched by it.

This morning, I had the pleasure of reading BigB’s blog. I am impressed that he does make valueable time to blog regularly. Having had the opportunity to meet with him in Mumbai (Thank you, Radio Mirchi) I must say that the Man’s AURA walks in well before he does… and stays for hours after he’s left. What is most impactful about him is his ability to COMMUNICATE… something most people who reach where he is … duly forget… :)

While on the subject of the BigB… I cannot but mention here…that he echoed the sentiments of NON CELEBRITY bloggers and made headlines with his PRO Dhoni and Team blog. I don’t know about others… I just know he’s found one in me for sure ;) I have so much to rant on cricket… will use another post… Time to sleep… enough typing…my fingers are demanding they be rested… :))

Perspectives change Perceptions of Perspective Changes

Someday this needed to happen, the ranting has been waiting in the queue of SILENCE for the chance to be heard… Waking up at 0600hrs on a Sunday morning isn’t a regular Dee ‘thing to do’ and since I woke up a million thoughts have been passing my mind, bringing a smile and asking me to write. It is sometimes rather funny how these sequences play out in my head, its almost like there’s an AMUSEMENT park at play when I wake up in the morning. The flood of thoughts lead my day, often, to a lot of people’s worry (Please read, FAMILY and REAL CLOSE FRIENDS) ;)

The title of this piece is a thought… that has become a thing… and the key to the change in perspective has been a new relationship with just one word “GRATITUDE”. Its the latest on my list of VICES ;) and I can promise you, being in a state of Gratitude Awareness is the most brilliant expansion of VISION, than I have ever experienced before.

When I started writing my first book… (just for the record, its only 6 chapters old, right now)… I didn’t realise, it was going to lay the foundation for an all new beginning. Its brilliant how each chapter almost dictates itself and the perspective view of how things ARE and WHY they ARE the way they ARE, presents itself in a brilliant new vision. It is so fascinating how simple life really is, when we are in sync with the CORE personality, we see things differently and CHANGE isn’t difficult anymore, it becomes a natural part of who we are. It is also, most wonderful to notice how THOUGHTS in our heads, which we choose to ignore, become the words our friends/family tend to use in communication with us.

The first chapter of my book brought in its finale, a new line into my stream of thoughts “In Gratitude to ALL THAT IS for ALL THAT IS” which has an insanely contagious effect on every aspect of my life. The beauty of continued usage finds a new spectacular readying itself for OPENING NIGHT… Hurdles feel like ladders… Problems present their own solutions… Without getting restless you’re led to the NEXT step. All that you crib about, presents itself differently. Its like being READY all the time, BRING IT ON LIFE… all I need to do is THANK IT AWAY.

The other day, I was asked a question, the impromptu answers brought a brilliant new extension and explanation and PERSPECTIVE :) Which in itself fascinated me… less for the content, which incidentally I think is brilliant!! more for the joy of understanding how beautifully two random conversations, began and ended from different perspectives, come together to form a BELIEF… in this case it all comes back to GRATITUDE!!

"Life is... An Essay" Part I : Introduction Part II: Research and Part III: Verdict ;). That is why when we're "LITTLE, KNOWLEDGE IS DANGEROUS"!!

someone told me to face reality... ;-) and I turned to the mirror and smiled and said ;-)... "Its Brilliant". To which I got a rather worried reply "What's so freaking BRILLIANT about the way things ARE? " and I smiled again "The perspective." YOUR PERSPECTIVE CREATES THE REALITY YOU EXPERIENCE ;-) and after reading this he called to ask "what if the mirror is broken?" I couldn't help but giggle and say "different perspective of the same point of view and the joy of being CONFUSED" ha ha

"LIFE is a series of breaths... Punctuated with experiences to draw our GRATITUDE to Breath ;-)

Now, I look at ALL THAT IS and am filled with AWE!! its brilliant to feel the million thoughts wait to become things… It’s fascinating, that I learn more from my 4 year old nephew Veer than he can ever learn from me. It is brilliant that I can sense what is good from all that is seemingly bad and the most beautiful part of it all… I am able to truly accept my experiences with joy, knowing that all it will take for things to change is to visit a new perspective.

Damn, I didn’t realise calling Gratitude a VICE would make it even more tempting… ;) ;) try Gratitude!!

LIFE is a series of breaths... Punctuated with experiences to draw our GRATITUDE to Breath

Life brings to you a spectacular feast of every emotion that you MUST experience and through it all, be able to take a DEEP breath and withdraw from the CIRCUMSTANCE and Truly BE in ACCEPTANCE of the PRESENT MOMENT.

I was filled with a lot of AWESOME thoughts as I heard EVERY media CHANNEL draw to the ATTENTION of India, the fact that CRICKETerrs that they WORSHIPPED were truly a SHAME to the COUNTRY… It amazes me, to see such CLARITY of THOUGHT and POWER of AUTHORITATIVE ANGER, as they continued to draw parallels to other forms of sport. It is so easy to draw into their emotion and sway the NATIONAL SENTIMENT of the WEAK In EMOTION to ANGER. Anger, we’ve known what it does!!

It is AMAZING that SACHIN decides NOT TO PLAY FOR INDIA at the T20 WC and that is RESPECT. Sehwag’s INJURY is the robe an EXPECTANT father wears to steer clear from the WC. ROBIN UTHAPPA is side tracked for reasons best known to LEAST ;) Dinesh Kartik still doesn’t understand the REAL reason why he isn’t GIVEN DUE respect… He hasn’t learnt to GIVE DUE RESPECT… especially to juniors on the field. Ashish Nehra’s body language says… I STILL NEED TO PROVE MYSELF. Bhajji, well, the brilliance of you is when you are charged up… excited and are your natural self… Pressure has never been your face. You see GAUTAM GAMBHIR, someone who I have a lot of respect for as a batsman and a captain (DD) who was now suddenly having to report to MS and be told what to do… Heck NO… why should I be taking anything seriously, I’ve been CAPTAIN and I KNOW!!! and you know what Gautam it SHOWS!! Yusuf, brilliant as you are, the fact still remains that you just ARE, you need to stand out among EQUALS to truly shine out, you have the talent! For the first time, it was evident that Murali Vijay was left to himself in his first international outing, was he going to do well… na na na… there wasn’t a chance in hell… sadly, his only mistake… CSK boy ;) thankfully.., you see RAINA… Who really is INDIA’s brightest STAR right now, for the fact that he is there to ENJOY his game… isn’t letting down the country by still thinking CSK.

Personally I would be horrified to be Dhoni in this scenario… It is evident, if an outsider can draw these vibes, the CAPTAIN is living them with his team. The team is living these thoughts in their minds. While Dhoni, puts on a very brave face and gives the media enough to take his ass for the next 7 days if not more! When I look at that brilliant smile and brave words to try and save face in his very casual matter of fact way. I’m drawn to seeing this picture, which, if it HORRIFIES me to IMAGINE… what must it be like for him to deal with. He is dealing with EGO’s that are present and EGO’s that are OMNIPRESENT.

In each of the lives this situation has reached, touched, affected… REMEMBER… this is JUST A PUNCTUATION… the joy of this LIFE is to draw into your experience GRATITUDE for this MOMENT. For the LOSS will teach you more about THE DRAW and yourself, than JUST VICTORY ever can.

Take a little while to SLOW down and THINK… REMEMBER to REMEMBER the JOY of WHO YOU REALLY ARE!

I guess the important questions to ask ourselves

Are these the PUNCTUATIONS of the MEDIA in the LIFE of A SPORTSMAN? Is a LOSS a PUNCTUATION on them as people? What are the PUNCTUATIONS I’ve created in my own life that are having a SIMILAR IMPACT on MY LIFE?

In Gratitude to ALL THAT IS for ALL THAT IS!

Attitude of Gratitude

Its been interesting learning about the INTENTIONS we put out into the universe with every conversation. When we seek to DRAW into our experience the POWER of INTENT it is CRITICAL for us to understand the EMOTION we are experiencing in the MOMENT of INTENTION for that really becomes WHO WE ARE… in the MANIFESTATION of the INTENTION.

When we intend from the EMOTION of GRATITUDE, we DRAW INTO OUR PRESENT moment, desires we ARE grateful to have… as we continue in GRATITUDE… we find more DESIRES to be GRATEFUL for and thus DRAW into our BEINGNESS… more GRATITUDE more DESIRES to BE GRATEFUL FOR. Similarly, When  we intend in the ABSENCE OF THE EMOTION of Gratitude we manifest that WHICH we are NOT GRATEFUL FOR!!

Wouldn’t it be nice if we would always find new reasons through each breath to REMAIN in the EMOTIONAL STATE OF GRATITUDE!!

In Gratitude to ALL THAT IS for ALL THAT IS… Happy manifesting!
