Winds of Change




'The winds of grace are always blowing, but to catch them we have to raise our sails'
- Sri Ramakrishna (Indian Mystic)

Yes, opportunities are all around us. It is only when we recognize the winds of opportunities and take concrete actions would we be able to reap its rewards.

It is up to us to accept that changes comes into our lives everyday.

We can neither deny it nor reject these changes.

We just have to have the grace to accept these changes and believe that we will reach a better place because of what we did.

So, do not be afraid of the winds of change.

Instead, welcome it, rejoice in it and be thankful for the new opportunities that comes with it.

Take Action on Your Dreams


The ancient Greek and Roman sculptors worked with big blocks of marble.

Before they even start to cut and carve the block of marble, they visualize in their mind what the finished sculpture will be.

They have to hold the image in their mind, carefully chipping away and manifesting the image that they see inside the block of marble.

Michealangelo is said to have remarked that the beautiful David already exists inside the marble. His job was just to chip away the marble to reveal it in all its glory.

So it is with our dreams. It is not enough to just dream. We need to take courageous action and focus all our energy to bring the dream to reality.

With no action, your dreams will not come true. It will not manifest itself.

It will just exists in the void, the what-ifs, the dream-world.

It is only when you work on it that you can bring your dream to fruition.

So, dream big and more important, take action with laser-like focus to make it real....


If you have built castles in the air,
Your work need not be lost;
There is where they should be.
Now, put foundations under them.
- Henry David Thoreau, author
