Who makes time good or bad?

Its us who makes time good or bad. Even in good times we can lose our happiness over small things....or flow happily through bad times. We all are swimmers in this ocean of time....Time is moving and we are moving through it, we are living these moments. Time does not label itself good or bad, we do.......Its us!

Christmas Art Project!

The month of celebrations and slow, cozy afternoons with friends and families has already begun. In our pursuit of planning the  perfect holidays sometimes we end up ignoring the involvement of little ones. This project is simple and creative enough to keep kids in high spirits and engaged in fun filled activity.

Enjoy simple pleasures by capturing those special moments and turn them into memories.

All you need is

• Green cardboard or sheet
• White paint
• Wiggly eyes
• Red paper
• Sequins
• Glue
• Pipe cleaners(Optional)
• bells(Optional)

All you need to do is

Dip your little ones hand in white paint and make an impression on green cardboard. Let it dry. Stick wiggly eyes. Using red paper make nose, mouth and cap. Stick little bit of sequence here and there.

A pom pom for cap and you are all done.

Enjoy the project!

When will I be happy?

Now or Never!

Open mind!

To be able to respect anything, we really need to understand what it is.
To understand, we need to learn about it.
To learn, we need an open mind.

What is even better than recycling!

Recycling is good..
Reuse is better..
and Reduce is awesome!

Preconceived mind!

People with preconceived minds have a pair of colored glasses on all the time. That does makes the world look colorful, keeping only a few objects in their true colors and rest....... adulterated!

Acceptance!

Accepting a person or a situation (the way they are) helps us to resolve the internal conflict of what could or should have been.

What is peace?

A relaxed mind!

How can someone be totally wrong

Even a watch that's not working is right 2 times a day!

How simple embroidery can teach us so much!

One day I was lying down in my mother’s lap as she was doing the embroidery. I asked her what she had in her mind for design, she told me "bunch of flowers". I laughed and said that it looked like a mess, with threads jumbling from here to there.

She smiled at me and said, it’s something to wait and watch.

Later, when the embroidery was done she told me to get up and have a look. I was amazed to see those flowers. They were such a mess and jumbled from lap and so planned and beautiful from top.

She told me that day, that’s how god plans our lives too. Sometimes when life feels so jumbled up...that time we need to remember this...God has a plan for my life and that is all I need to know.

It will not solve the problem but will give us the courage to face it!

Accept or Ignore Situations!

Accepting a situation helps us to find a solution and move on.
Ignoring it, only makes us stuck and feel miserable.

How to deal with words!

Getting upset, blaming, preaching , getting frustrated, running away from person or situation, or reacting is not the solution to some one's rude behavior.
Know, nothing can shake you without your permission, and reacting is only going to make you feel miserable. Then, how to respond to some one's rude words?
Well, make use of that beautiful smile for that persons ignorance and lack of knowledge and move on!

What makes simple complex!

Why everything around us should make sense, it has to be right or wrong, good or bad, liked or disliked.
There is nothing like right or wrong, good or bad, Nothing is universal.

Life is simple, words like opinions, judgements,  perspective's makes it complex.

Don't React......Respond!

Reaction is spontaneous, it makes us say and do things we regret most in our lives.
Responding is thoughtful, it leads us to solution without regrets.
Don't React......Respond!

Project Impressions!

All you need is

• 2 sheets
• Paints (acrylics)
• idea

This project is so easy, so fun and creates magnificent details. The first thing you need to do is figure out in your mind what you will like to create....Flowers, butterflies, birds, trees.......

I did Ganesha and a butterfly.

It's a fun and easy way to make greetings, calenders, bookmarks, or a wall art.

All you need to do is generously pour the paint on one sheet using your imagination.

Put another sheet on top on it, press gently and let the paint make its impressions on other sheet. Open up gently like you are opening a book.

The paint makes these impressions because when you press, the paint sticks to the other sheet and when you start opening the 2 sheets the paint starts making these details. The best part is you get 2 identical art pieces.

Enjoy the art!

When we settle for less!

When we settle for less, life settles us for less.
Know that its us who will be judged by the final product!

It's called mindset!

Story that inspires me every time I am about to give up!

As my friend was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by a rope tied to their legs. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from ropes they were tied to but for some reason, they did not. My friend saw a trainer nearby and asked why these beautiful, magnificent animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away.

"Well", he said."when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and at that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free." My friend was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn't, they were stuck right where they were. The powerful and gigantic creature has limited its present abilities by the limitations of its past.

Like the elephants, how many of us go through life holding onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before? How many of us refuse to attempt something new and challenging because of our so called MINDSET?

Your attempt may fail, but never fail to make an attempt....
                                     &
Choose not to accept the false boundaries and limitations created by the past....

Fail fast!

We all fail at some point in life, its inescapable and we are no exception.
When we fail we have nothing more to lose. We have hit the bottom and the only place to go is up!
To get full benefit of failure we have to acknowledge it, we need to understand the reasons for it and retain the learnings not the pain.
Get back to work, fix it, do it different and better next time!
