In tune...

By Vichara


We sometimes feel that the groove / path that we are on is present enough for us to acknowledge and react to the subtleties that are always swimming next to us. While it is wise and imperative to retain this confidence it is also imperative to never assume this is always the case. It is advisable to allow those moments in a day where we can steal some time, to breathe and engage and to check in with all of the subtleties that constantly surround us. We should assess if the direction that you and those around you has a foundation of patience, compassion and love. I know it does sound cliché and like a Hallmark greeting card but retaining this foundation and building all of our actions with this foundation will only enable those around you and yourself to be engaged, connected and fulfilled.

Did you know?
When France's King Louis XIV appointed Lieutenant Colonel Jean Martinet to be inspector general of the infantry in the late 17th century, he made a wise choice. As a drillmaster, Martinet trained his troops to advance into battle in precise linear formations and to fire in volleys only upon command, thus making the most effective use of inaccurate muskets -- and making the French army one of the best on the continent. He also gave English a new word. "Martinet" has been used synonymously with "strict disciplinarian" since the 1730s.
