The Write Vent

One of the most awesome ways to vent, anger, frustration and anxiety is to remind yourself of the age old cliché “everything happens for the best” even though the present moment may be filled with incidents and events quite the opposite. The second step… write and empty yourself of the emotions that are craving attention.

One of the most powerful life changing aspects is to detach yourself with the details and focus on the outcomes. If the outcome is promising, then you’ve got to know that you’ll get there. You won’t know HOW till it has happened. If, on the other hand you can acknowledge the emotions and the notions and the motions you experienced on the way. You’ll know the WHY first and settle in to letting the “infinite invisible” take care of the HOW of things! I have always had a firm and confirmed KNOW that GRATITUDE CONQUERS ALL!! Now is the time to ALLOW Gratitude to do its job, while I bask in the beauty of ACCEPTING that this trans|ACTION (actions of transforming)

It is in practicing all we have ever learnt or taught in our “rock bottom” moment, or so we think it is, there is phenomenal growth in practicing what we preach and preaching only that which we practice. I’ve been “God’s Brat” for way too long to back off and fall out with him. Its crazy but true, that everytime I’ve hit an emotional low, I’ve grown to a brand new high. Gratitude has been my path and will continue to fill my destiny with surprises!

So, you feel betrayed, I do, a lot of times. Then again, betrayal, when seen through the eyes of Faith. Is really a time of rebuilding. Betrayal isn’t external, its internal. We often react from external betrayal syndrome. When the truth of betrayal, is that you chose not to follow an instinct, which has repeatedly did N.U.D.G.E (Now.Understand.Dedicated.Gratitude.Empowers) at you. You saw the signs, got anxious, reacted from the anxiousness without looking within.

Betrayal has been “top of mind” recall for me. today, in the bliss of gratitude, I realised, that the SITUATIONS and PEOPLE were only indicating a LOOK WITHIN YOURSELF, HOW ARE YOU BETRAYING YOUR OWN PERSONAL POTENTIAL! Something, I hadn’t even considered, for so long! I also have a weakness, “I don’t want to hold on but most often I don’t know how to LET GO!” Ha ha … a vital piece of information delivered with so much exhaustion!

Anger comes when you realise, that you’ve been played out! People have called your bluff or you’ve called theirs! Anger is the INNER want to be in control and often comes with a lot of drama. Which is a great platform for the “unspoken” to “speak up” without the fear of repercussion. Anger, is a good thing, really, unless, well, you’ve already been carrying way too much baggage in thought. I recognised, yesterday, that ”my anger, begins with a PRESENT CIRCUMSTANCE and grows with HISTORY” You don’t realise, when you’ve lost the NOW of the anger. It’s almost like, anger, doesn’t feel comfortable when not given enough attention.

Anger, is an emotion that clears the deck, its cleansing in many ways. It reveals your deepest thoughts and greatest challenges. Gratitude, helps in cleansing it from the root! The first thought that makes you angry, is far deeper than the surface, sometimes, so deep, that you are called to be angry more often, till you reach the root of it. Anger has many friends and many deal breakers. The mind is the RESEARCH FIELD for ANGER! The thoughts you’ve acted on or reacted to or created with or created form. All are part of the “mental maths” of anger. The moment the subject is revealed, anger gets together all the possible information and trust me, once you let it pour, you’re in for a surprise!

Most often, for both emotions to flare up is in recognition of their existence. This is true, especially, when like me you’re an explosive blunt and very expressive exponent of emotions, the ride is a reminder, that all is not cleared. The drama, is necessary and vital to the cleansing. Betrayal and Anger as a combination is lethal really!

It is really the betrayal of the self that the anger is more about! Like the mind saying “Silly Girl, it about you. Not them”

Assume is a beautiful word…

For the last three whole years I’ve learnt to GO WITH GRATITUDE & GROW WITH GRATITUDE in a more practice makes perfect life accepting way. The results are absolutely phenomenal, even to the naked eye ;)

OneNess is a gift, a product of Gratitude in Action and Reaction really, it’s the pause that reveals WHY a particular event or occurrence takes place. The thrill of Gratitude is in the KNOWING of this simple truth. It is true for my experiences, that Gratitude for the KNOWING has triggered a series of events that have in fact brought all of life together and helped me focus on growth.

There was a time, when I would notice updates from other event managers and feel anxious, that my brand is growing pretty slowly. Gratitude for their work, moved me to introspect and these brilliant moments of introspection led to new ideas on what I really wanted to do and these ideas have found shape in building relationships today that are part of my brand growth of tomorrow.

As an entrepreneur, it is essential to keep focused on the vision and make provision for it to grow large enough to accommodate personal growth, brand growth and social growth of the brand and all those associated with it. Assume plays a vital role…. to assume is to make a practiced path forward towards a specific result. More often than not… ASSUME is CONSUMED with “Make Believe” taken literally. The connotation is the essence and you get to CHOOSE and your CHOICE is the path forward to a specific result.

My many assumes are the reason why I have reached where I am. I assumed the roles of my thoughts and have grown. I have learnt to say YES to experiments and experience the results as I have assumed them to play out, keeping a single minded focus on the COMPLETION, as ASSUMED. As I look forward I am reminded how powerful moments of ASSUMPTIONS with GRATITUDE have in fact co-inspired my present learning and knowing.

Often, as an event manager you are called to CONCEPTUALISE an event OUTCOME and all that you do have, to begin with, is ASSUMPTIONS. YOU assume your role in the project as the creator of the final outcome and the plan works out backwards, in every row, is an assumption worked backwards from the result and served to the client. Every detail is assumed.

We assume roles in our lives… we live out many roles in the ACT OF LIVING. We assume the role, then we play it according to the rules of the role as defined by those who’ve ASSUMED the roles before us. Now and again, we make a new CHOICE and with this new choice, we begin a new series of roles and rules. We don’t question the roles or the rules of the role, for when we assume what exists we learn to adjust to the frameWORK put in by history, passed on through the ASSUMES of lineage and we make a tradition of it.

I look at the assumes that have created my life ….

I assumed the role of a responsible elder sister, when my mom made the statement “because you are the eldest you have to be an example to your sisters”

I assumed the role of a student when I began school and to this day I remain learning and reminding myself, that I only need to assume as per my dreams and I am confident that I will fit into the role.

I assumed as a child that “ because Jesus wants it”, then came “everyone is born with a purpose”, “I was not created to so small things”, “Jesus

I assumed the role of a teenager when I turned 13, then I grew to an adult at 18, then I joined the workforce at 19, then an entrepreneur at 33 and now at 36 I am readying my self to assume a new role… wife… and with it comes a whole new plethora of experiences and assumes that will pave the way to the finale when I prep myself to assume the role of a soul in celebration of the completion of the journey we know as LIFE.

I assumed the role of a singer when someone, first helped me recognise I had a brilliant voice, then my first choir experience, then my first solo in school when I came second, then my first choir solo in church, then my first public performance at rashtrapati bhavan, then my first prize for singing in school, then my representing my school at the state level as a singer, my first studio recording for an ad, then my first club singing assignment, then many other experiences of singing… recording my song for the first time and sharing it with my social world and now a new role beckons as a lead singer of a band…

I assumed the role of a writer when I wrote my first poem in school, then my first play, then my first journal, then my first blog post, my first response to a thread of a community, then I learnt to write from my responses, then my first book in which I compiled and shared the simple truth I learnt from our sharing and now a book about experiments and experiences I’ve practiced

I assumed the role of an entrepreneur when we first got together as a group of kids to earn, then with my jobs to learn and now my own brand to practice what I learnt and create my own experiences, which I now share… each time I get an opportunity to speak… each time I speak a new idea is born and with it begins a brand new level of being an entrepreneur.

I assumed my roles as I met them and along the way in accepting these new roles, which my great assumption was, that it will lead me to running my own brand led global corporation on one day!! Today I smile upon the excitement that with an agency and a foundation that a couple of steps have already been taken and the new ones will reveal themselves as I continue to make choices and assume new futures in thought and assume new roles in action. It is this thrilling experience of ASSUMING that leads to innovation and growth. We are blessed to make choices in the knowing that we are a GLOBAL CORPORATION in the making… and this shall be made possible through the many different ASSUMES I will meet on my own path to completion of the grand vision of my soul journey on the earth NOW and then when I am back in the formlessNess of OneNess, through the many who will choose their ASSUME and evolve in creating from another CHOICE a NEW ASSUME for the Future!!

I assume that in sharing this with you, I am sharing the powerful assumes that I am so grateful for and in this recognising… I also accept the many assumes I haven’t written about but sure am thinking about… Assuming with a Grateful heart creates a rainbow of reasons to celebrate life. It is amazing when you look at the world of assume… and how it has played out in your life, you recognise, that the process of assume is the divine driver of all that is part of the visual process. Assume is SILENT GROWTH, without expecting, without demanding… it simply moves you to RECOGNISE the silence of “MYSTERIOUS WAYS OF GRATITUDE” delivering your PURPOSE TO YOU through ASSUMPTION.

Assume is a beautiful word and creates a beautiful world… when we look back and see how Life is a series of ASSUMES…evolving with every choice!!!

Here’s wishing you a journey to ASSUME the YOU, you were created to BE!!
