The lesson is simple, yet life-changing: Stop chasing. Start living. Do your duty, walk your path, offer every action to the Divine, and let go of clutching after results. What is meant for you will never run away; what runs away was never yours to hold.

This is not resignation, it is trust. Trust in dharma, trust in karma, trust in the One who guides all. The Gita reminds us again and again: when you surrender the fruit, you gain the freedom. And in freedom, all things find you.

Don’t quit midway...your journey deserve a victorious ending

Whenever feel discouraged or giving up ask yourself who asked you to choose such tough path... why you decided to walk on the way even if you know that it will be thorny.... it's you and only you who imagined a better and dignified life for yourself and your family...

That vision is something that made you determined, focused, and disciplined for this journey. Then how can you let the temporary struggles shake your resolution?

Remember your strength.... you are not ordinary. You chose a life of routine and sacrifice when others chose comfort.... don't let you efforts go in vain after walking such a long mile... don't leave it in middle finish it... and give a meaning to your thoughts and dreams

If you can dream it... you can make it true as well with your hardwork and determination.🌷✨
