Luck is not a gift from the universe,
nor an abstract notion from our imagination.
Luck and chance are energy patterns,
part of the laws of universe and of course,
the law of attraction.

It’s a question of knowing really,
how to make luck work for you.
That way it’s no longer luck,
but hard work and determination.

If we crave luck in relationships,
we should look at our inner direction,
align it with our outer purpose.
They call it balance.

Succeeding in relationships is beautiful,
but luck has nothing to do with it.

This is inner beauty.
for all flows from within;
your blood and oxygen do you good,
you wear them well.

Your body is a great temple,
allow goodness to reign supreme,
good begets good, your health is permanent:
inner beauty shuns disease, disorder.

Look after your body,
and your spirit will shine,
your eyes will be a reflection…
…reflection of health, radiance and beauty.

I was annoyed at first,
because it took so much time.
And wondered what good will it do?
Five years later, I see the logic.

I also see the soundness of the policy,
it is not always easy to grasp.
Children understand it better,
they are the ambassadors for the environment.

The colours of the bins still confuse me,
I’m at times unsure of which waste goes where,
but I know that in time,
I’ll get the hang of it.

Colour confusion is but a minor inconvenience,
when the environment is at stake.
Even a child will tell you that.

Stress has multiple faces,
of that we’re aware.
But when it engulfs us,
difficult to see even one face.

Stress is not to be taken lightly.
It is a silent killer.
But we can take it,
with a song in our hearts.

Only then will the emotional void,
slowly begin to close.
Let’s welcome our mini steps to progress,
for the sake of those we love dearly…

There are times in life,
when our options are plentiful.
And there are moments,
when we have none.

Let’s not forget about laws,
particularly the law of attraction.
It’s the most mysterious law…
…that the universe has created.

It has the power to create,
and create it will, provided…
…provided we don’t trample on it.
As it also works on options.

So let the law of attraction work,
and see how your options will breathe new life.

Pep rallies, energy seminars,
they tell of lasting and inner peace.
But which one holds the secret?
and what’s the catch?

Not that we’re jaded or cynical,
but we’ve seen and heard it all.
Formulas, equations, secrets
guaranteed to bring lasting and inner peace.

Decide for yourself,
if you need these aids.
There’s always something to learn,
but we think, there’s a catch.

There is no universal solution,
and one formula may not work,
how about liking yourself for a change?
That’s a no-nonsense solution.

Counselors say the same thing,
I hear the same blurb about…let’s see,
exercise, diet, positive thinking.
Goodness, they could write a novel.

Depression is a popular topic,
but only among the non-depressed.
Those who are depressed won’t say a word,
just look into my eyes and you’ll know.

Do I give you a blank stare?
Do I mumble, incomprehensible me?
Rambling… like the way I walk,
unsteadily, with no direction?

I’ll chat with nature,
yes, I think that’s the answer.
Nature won’t talk back and lecture me,
instead, it offers a corner so I can weep.

Do kids really have the monopoly of energy?
It’s not so much their age,
but their innocence and enthusiasm,
believe it or not, you are a kid too!

You’re a kid with enough energy,
to get you to the ends of the earth.
And you have boundless energy,
you may not be aware of that.

If you leave sadness behind,
you become a kid with boundless energy.
If you throw away your frustrations,
you’re a kid flowing with energy!

So take lock, stock and barrel,
pretend, just for a day,
that you have no troubles, no worries,
because you’re a kid with boundless energy!

Dancers, cyclists and writers find in aloneness,
a comfort, a re-assurance…that art,
an elusive concept, comes alive.
Alone-ness is wonderful when work’s the goal.

Life goals are better defined and visualized,
when alone, and distractions are non-existent.
Alone-ness should be welcomed, not frowned upon,
because great minds come alive in full color.

Funny how the film “The Hours” captured alone-ness,
in its truest forms, leaving no doubt,
no question, that beings, in reality,
are really alone and forced to be solitary.

Think about it carefully,
when are you most productive?
Or more artistic and most expressive?
Treasure alone-ness, it is your greatness.

One essence is freedom from want,
we have what we need, no need for greed.
Greed goes against wealth consciousness,
a vicious cycle that does not end.

People get unhinged by worthless pursuits,
such as money and material comforts.
We know better about wealth consciousness,
yet we can’t define it.  We only feel it.

Essence can be an elusive notion,
but wealth consciousness  as an idyllic goal,
will remain with us, forever here,
if we turn our backs to material desires.
Acquisition knows no limits,
let not the fever engulf us.
