🌿 Let’s Begin Here
My dear friend, feeling the sting of FOMO—the fear of missing out—is so deeply human. When you see others laughing, traveling, or simply glowing with joy, it’s natural to wonder why your heart feels a little empty or restless. There’s no shame in this feeling; it’s a tender part of your journey. But within this ache lies an invitation—to find your own peace and fullness, right where you are. Let’s walk gently together toward that quiet place inside.
🕉️ Timeless Words
सर्वधर्मान्परित्यज्य मामेकं शरणं व्रज ।
अहं त्वां सर्वपापेभ्यो मोक्षयिष्यामि मा शुचः ॥
(Chapter 18, Verse 66)
"Abandon all varieties of dharma and just surrender unto Me alone. I will liberate you from all sinful reactions; do not fear."
This verse reminds us that when the mind is caught in the whirlwind of comparisons and desires, surrendering to the deeper truth within — your own soul's connection with the Divine — frees you from the chains of restlessness and fear. It’s an invitation to trust that your unique path is held in loving hands.
🪬 Guiding Lights
- Your journey is unique. No one else’s joys or timelines define your worth or progress.
- True happiness arises from within, not from external experiences or possessions.
- Comparison is a veil, clouding the beauty of your own life’s moments.
- Surrender your anxieties, trusting that your soul’s unfolding is perfect, even if unseen.
- Practice gratitude for what you have now; this shifts the heart from scarcity to abundance.
🌊 Inner Dialogues
You might be telling yourself: “Why am I left out? Why don’t I have what they have? Am I less?” These thoughts can feel like a heavy fog, whispering doubts and loneliness. It’s okay to feel this way. Your heart is longing to belong and to feel alive. But remember, these feelings do not define you. They are passing clouds over the vast, clear sky of your true self.
📿 What He Would Say...
“My beloved, do not be troubled by the shadows of others’ happiness. Just as the moon shines in its own time, so does your light. Look inward, where no one else’s joy can reach. There, you will find a peace deeper than all fleeting pleasures. Trust in the dance of life, for each step is yours and yours alone. Surrender your yearning to Me, and feel the freedom that comes when you stop chasing and start being.”
🌱 A Familiar Story
Imagine a student sitting in a crowded café, scrolling through pictures of friends traveling and celebrating. The heart tightens with envy, feeling left behind. But then, the student closes the phone, breathes deeply, and notices the warmth of the sun on their face, the aroma of fresh coffee, the laughter of a nearby child. In that moment, the student remembers: joy is not only in grand adventures but also in simple, present moments. Just like a flower blooms in its own season, so will your happiness unfold—naturally, beautifully, in its own time.
