The purpose of life is to have a
life of purpose
Rajiv Ranjan
Life is always so unfair and never so easy
It moves at a fast pace and keeps us busy
Years whizz past as if it was yesterday
Our days of youth and glamour fade away
Nature grinds very fine our actions sublime
Gives it back, unannounced, in its own time
We sow and reap the fruits of our deeds
Heaven and hell are stories for the creeds
The mind plays the tricks and guides it all
Control your thoughts and you will never fall
Mind is like a garden; uncared, weeds grow
Beautiful gardens need work, steady and slow
It can only flower and grow during the right season
Plough, weed and harvest with good reason
These are cardinal principles of agriculture
Heavens bestow upon us eternal laws of nature
There are unopened gifts nature gave us all
Freedom of choice is always our personal call
Body, mind, heart and spirit are four intelligences
On Natural laws and humanity, our life impinges
Always act within your circle of influences
Circle of concerns are large where mind binges
One step at a time on a journey of thousand miles
Nothing changes in a day but slowly luck smiles
Enhance your capabilities with training and knowledge
Yet outcome and capabilities balance, we must acknowledge
Principle centred leadership keeps life on even keel
Strikes a balance between segments on life's wheel
A fulfilling life needs personal leadership with strong purpose
Follow your visions and dreams with proactivity focus
Goals and targets emerge from end results in kept in mind
Prioritisation happens when first things first in us we find
Interpersonal leadership is at the heart of interdepence
Listen first with empathy to build trust with prudence
Synergy of efforts locks energies to get ahead with passion
Having done all, we follow balanced renewal with compassion
Change is like a ripple in a pond that starts small
Yet inside out that ripples grow to cover the pond over all
The change begins small as in a tornado at the bottom
And rises up to become mighty forces that blossom
