Dear ME,
I should have written this letter a few years ago. But it did not occur to me until recently that I should jot down a few of my thoughts so that, whenever you feel lost, you could come back, read it and reassure yourself.
By now, you might have realised that life is not a bed of roses and there’ll be failures. You can either succumb to it or fight it. If you’re ready to fight, I’ve a mantra for you - If you fall seven times, get up eight times. Every time when failure slaps on your face, this is what you have to do.
Majority of us are fatalists and we believe there’s nothing one could do to alter our fate. This is the greatest lie that has ever been told. We are all God’s children. Hence, how can he write bad destinies for some and good destines for others. Lord has a dream for us and expects us to show courage in pursuing our destiny.
And how to do it – By recognising our ‘Calling or Purpose’ in life and sticking to it.
Mind you! It’s a Herculean task.
When God made the world, the Holy Spirit was hovering above the waters and it is the SOUL of GOD. When you show courage to pursue Lord’s dream, he will put his soul inside you which will give you utmost strength to pursue your destiny.
If you take one step towards your purpose, God will take seven steps for you. If God is for us, who can be against us?
God bless
Remember what William Ernest Henley said in his poem ' Invictus'- " I am the MASTER OF MY FATE; I am the CAPTAIN OF MY SOUL."

When we feel worthless and good for nothing, we insult God. God does not make junk.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely!
DeleteLife is a series of hurdles. The Buddha defined it as pain. I know a lot of people who went through ordeal after ordeal and still endured and lasted. Fall and rise, only to repeat the process, often for no fault of oneself.
ReplyDeleteGod may help those who believe. But alas I lost that faith long ago. So I rely on literature for inspiration.
Yes....Life is all about falling and rising and enduring.
