Sherpa of My Life

Hundreds of climbers every year attempt to reach the summit of Mount Everest, the world’s highest mountain. It is a dangerous mission so most climbers rely on help from mountain guides, known as Sherpa. The word ‘Sherpa’ is commonly used to describe someone who is a mountain guide or porter working in the Everest area. Sherpa are local people who are highly skilled and experienced climbers. Without Sherpa, most climbers would not be able to get up the mountain.

British mountaineer Kenton Cool, who’s climbed Everest 11 times, explains: “The Sherpa are so important. For one, they’re the local people, so they know the culture, they know the area, they know the people. “But when it actually comes to climbing the mountain they have this phenomenal energy and power on the mountain. “So pretty much any climber that may go to Everest will use Sherpa to help get the logistics in place, all the ropes, all the tents and things like that.

“They really are the backbone of any expedition.” – Sherpa

Life itself is a journey and many times it gets as tougher, harder as climbing an Everest, and we all need a Sherpa. Sherpa is present in our life sometimes as a guide, a mentor, guru, teacher or other times as a motivator, colleague, friend, assistant and helps us achieve, what we were born for !! Think about your life till today, did you get a Sherpa ? You sure had one at least but maybe you moved ahead with your laurels leaving behind your sherpa -unrecognized. Can you identify! If you start reversing your life with your eyes closed, you would identify Sherpa of your life.

Without such good soul in your life, you were nowhere and if you see yourself right now nearing the purpose of life or near to achieving your goal in life, it is only with guidance of โ€œSherpaโ€ that you are overcoming the failures and reaching the summit of success.

Life is a journey with milestones and it might not be a smooth ride, your Sherpa will come to help you the moment you seek guidance, just as the Law of Attraction says โ€œpositive thoughts bring positive experiences!!โ€. Once you seek they will appear from anywhere, you can recognize them with your heart. You heart would start accepting them as your Sherpa as though they were born for that moment for you. We all fall down mountains; many times throughout our lives. Itโ€™s how we handle these falls that define us. Our falls can become our blessings. They can be the fuel for our life, helping us, launch us on the most desired transformation or achievement as well as fuel for making our life a masterpiece.

Mark Twain once said โ€“ โ€œThe two greatest days of your life are the day you were born and the day you learn Why You Were Born.โ€

The question โ€œWhy you were born ?โ€ is still a mystery and searching for its answer is no less than mountain climbing. At some point of time, I was facing challenges, I was struggling to find the lost life in me.These were challenges that were painful and all new to me. I had to recreate myself in so many ways, all while not trying to let life run on me. My self-awareness and introspection and talking a lot to myself about โ€œWhy you were born?โ€ Led me to connect with my inner conscious, my soul and in other words when you are so lost and heart broken in your life, if you sit back and quietly listen, there would be this inner clear and pure voice calling, our soul and Sherpa for life.

We all have scars. Itโ€™s what life is all about. It wasnโ€™t until we truly embraced our vulnerability that we truly began to live life again. You too would have a lifeโ€™s story connected to Sherpa of your life.Think about him/her and appreciate the well being of same who gave you the wings to fly and strength to keep flying high.

My Rendezvous With Life

My Rendezvous With Life

The treacherous waters of existence hail in their stride,As the beauty of sailing against the winds uproars in its ride.Benevolence in its yonder stirs the mirth of the true,Navigating the turbulent waves, death and I had a rendezvous.

I sought the beauty of the light that was unseen,In the depths of my muse, I found my world within.Life in its flair, trudged me into the emblems of the dark,The dreams that perspired in the seed embraced their death,As it was time for a new quest to embark.

Quaint whispers that echoed in their gallant stance,The jeers that surmounted the uncertainty galloped in their dance.Silencing the wind, bestriding the fall,I plunged into the entirety of my endeavours that call

The Power of Understanding Your Love Language

Love is the purest emotion one feels towards themselves and another individual. While the expression of love can vary in its entirety from one person to another, the care we hold for the ones we love shares an undeniable impact on how we forge our perceptions of interpersonal relationships. The way we communicate our feelings to someone also says a lot about how we are wired, the method of conveying our affection to our beloved ones is called a love language. You may express affection to the one you love regularly, but do you take the time to ensure that you are communicating it in the way that the other person prefers?

The Beauty Of Gratitude In A World Full Of Cynicism

Ever acquainted with the phrase that the world that you exist in, the life that you embody dwells in the perception of the stance you hold for yourself. The beauty and the tragedy of life is that it is as beautiful as the optimistic lens of perception and as ugly as the pessimistic view of your being.

The strive of our endeavours and the constant effort to achieve the next massive milestone often drive us to the edges of insanity, to be in the consistent light of greatness we lose sight of the great strings of joy that bind our existence together. To be the best we have ever been we must be mindful of the best we are. Coinciding in the traps of negativity and yet claiming to be the best version of yourself is a blinding truth that lies to only

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I breathe in the sauntering air that collapses my being,I breathe through the crevices of my existence unseen.Uncertainty in its yonder strikes in bolt on the scars that nobody sees,Redemption that loves, redemption that is free, find me in the depths of my poetry.

Tales of lust ridden in smeared touches that belie,Entreated with envy, the visions of victory lie.To be or not to be in a question that yet lies,For I yearn for a world where fond passion never dies.

Enclasped in the cage of the deemed duty,Bounded in her vows, she forgot she was a thing of beauty.In a realm we live, where amour in its truth fails to stand tall,She, tired of her existence, submerges herself into the beauty that her dreams enthrall.

Chaos in its uproar hails in its darkness
