Sagacity Voyage

When things seems gloomy and dark and you feel you are stuck , just remember this mantra.  Accept and Leave. How can I say these two contrasting words in same breath!   Leave - leave all the small fights,  the trivial issues which might look big to you now,  but will have no relevance in future.Look at bigger picture and see if holding onto really matters! Accept - There might be things which you know are not right, not in current and also in  future scheme of things. And you have done your best to correct the course, but ball has already moved out of your court. Accept the things as they are and wait for them to unfold and make their own ways. Ensure to voice out, speak out, discuss, place your points. Yes, things might not move as you want, but if you have done your best, you will be able to Leave and Accept!

I hated my wavy hair all my life. Because I always wanted long straight lustrous hair. So I got all those chemical treatments done and used straighteners. Results were always A-ha!  And those days of so called 'treated' hair used to give me short- lived  happiness and pleasure. But till how long will you change something which is natural.  So I decide to embrace my imperfect wavy hair.I Respected them,  Cherished them, Cared for them,  loved them. Soon they started loving me back.  Because I was now accepting them as they and not as I wanted them to be.  Similarly when you try to change someone or something as per you and not accept as they are, it leads to frustration and unsatisfaction in long term even if it gives you short lived happiness. So Embrace your imperfections! 

 So, I have been baking cookies(skill acquired in lock down days) since past few weeks.  Every Sunday I prepare a batch for a week.  Do they come out 'Perfect' from the oven?  No,  not at all,  every time there is a scope of improvement(but I am glad they are always edible atleast). And I improve with every batch! Because I am Consistent in my Efforts,  I add Variations, I Practise. So if you are chasing that Perfect artistic skills, that perfect culinary skills, that Perfect relationship,that perfect fitness or any other skill.  #KeepPractising #KeepAddingVariations ,  #KeepPuttingGenuineEfforts  and you will reach to Perfect or OH!  Not so Perfect (because there is always a scope of improvement)

Recent learning through personal experience but can be aptly related to professional Very commonly we  tend to shout and scream in Anger. We try to speak at the top of our voice to place our point. Interestingly what you are saying is being overshadowed by how you are saying that is why your two sentences are mixed into one and entire new meaning is formed.  Eg- Supervisor is angry at his subordinate and he choses to shout to release his anger.  He might be saying you have been misbehaving from past few months and your performance is also bad this month.  Employee might register that he has been performing bad past few months.  Instead of focusing on what went bad this month, subordinate is thinking though I performed remarkably well  previous months why is my supervisor still not appreciative about me.  So basically, the tone and pitch of how you said impacted more than what you said. Feelings are registered quickly than the words.  What is the L...

In recent argument over really petty matter with my husband I experienced  something really interesting.  Very commonly we  tend to shout and scream in Anger. We try to speak at the top of our voice to place our point. Interestingly what you are saying is being overshadowed by how you are saying that is why your two sentences are mixed into one and entire new meaning is formed.  Now the argument is I Never Said So!   Suddenly the argument shifted to explain something which you never said.  So basically, the tone and pitch of how you said impacted more than what you said. Also if you repeat same old phrases/statements in every fight, they are easy to get registered as mind is already familiar to them. My Learning- You will waste your energy in saying so much while listener might be deciphering his/her own meaning.  Important is to focus more on how to say and then on what to say! 

  Past few days, I was not in right frame of mind. Professional or Personal whatever the reason may be but something was not going right! And the impact was coming on my peace of mind, my behaviour,  my outlook towards things, my food habbits etc Learnings from these days! ✨It's perfectly okay to go out of the track! Important is to Acknowledge your feelings. ✨Most Important is to Accept and Leave. How can I say these two contrasting words in same breath!  Leave - leave all the small fights,  the trivial issues which might look big to you now,  but will have no relevance in future. Look at bigger picture and see if holding onto really matters! Accept - There might be things which you know are not right, not in current and also in  future scheme of things.
