Blessings

Typically, whenever we start a new thing it is our custom to take the blessings of the LORD. I want to take the blessings of the lord today here in this blog post.

It has been almost 2 years, when i stand at the same place where i stood back then. I have a decision to make and as it always happens, there is a road of comprimise and road of familiarity as well as there is a road of exploration and a road of unfamiliarity...There is more at stake since this involves my career and can i afford to try something NEW. Also, there lies the small matter of PROMOTION and with the decisions i make, it might easily take another year and half to get to that. So, if PROMOTION is important to me, i need to stay calm and wait...however, promotion also means that the things i want to do and the skills i want to acquire will become harder to accomplish...In the end it comes to a decision of what matters to me the MOST? At this point, for me, LEARNING is more important and this means that i need to go down the unfamiliarity path.

Of course, all this said, i believe in DESTINY, FATE and GOD. I believe that my SADGURU helps me make the right decisions and if i'm at this juncture, i strongly believe that he is the ONE who brought me here. Last time i was at this juncture, i decided to take the high road and do something different. Regardless of the consequences, my confidence went up as i took a different responsibility and did exceedingly well. This time the stakes are high, what with all the PROMO and so on, but again, my INNER voice tells me to gear myself up for the challenge.

So, almighty, i'm taking this crucial decision and i want your help. I want you to guide me to do things that will make me better, make me stronger and develop faith in myself and in YOU. I invoke lord ganesha to eliminate the obstacles in my path and help me overcome them. I invoke goddess saraswathi to help me prepare well, to guide me and to enlighten me. I invoke murugan to give me the courage to face the obstacles and to not lose my sleep over them. I invoke my guru, sainath to be with me and to have faith (and patience) in his divine judgement. I want to get the blessings of my parents and ancestors who have given me good education, proper values and above all the freedom to write my own destiny.

Omsairam, i'm taking the first step in my new journey and i want you to be with me.

No matter, what happens, GOD has made do this for my betterment.

Amen!
