🌿 Let’s Begin Here
Dear soul, feeling nervous is a tender pulse of your heart’s vulnerability — a sign that you care deeply about what lies ahead. It’s okay to feel this way. Trusting the process doesn’t mean denying your nervousness; it means gently holding your fears with kindness and stepping forward anyway. You are not alone on this path.
🕉️ Timeless Words
सङ्कल्पं त्यजेदस्मिन्सङ्कल्पेऽस्मिन्परन्तप |
न हि कश्चित्क्षणमपि जातु तिष्ठत्यकर्मकृत् ||
— भगवद्गीता 2.47
“You have the right to perform your prescribed duties, but you are not entitled to the fruits of your actions. Never consider yourself the cause of the results of your activities, nor be attached to inaction.”
This verse reminds us that nervousness often arises from attachment to outcomes. When we focus on doing our part with sincerity, and release the need to control results, trust begins to grow naturally.
🪬 Guiding Lights
- Focus on your effort, not the outcome. Your duty is to act with full heart, not to guarantee success.
- Accept uncertainty as part of the journey. Life’s flow is beyond complete control, and that’s okay.
- Stay present in the moment. Nervousness often comes from imagining future ‘what ifs.’ Bring your mind back to now.
- Remember your inner strength. You have faced challenges before and grown through them.
- See nervousness as a sign of growth. It means you are stepping beyond your comfort zone into new possibilities.
🌊 Inner Dialogues
It’s natural to feel your heart race and your thoughts swirl with doubt. You might be telling yourself, “What if I fail? What if I’m not enough?” These fears whisper loudly, but they are not the whole story. Within you is a quiet center that has witnessed every storm and calm. Trusting the process is gently returning to that stillness, even when the waves seem high.
📿 What He Would Say...
“My dear friend, do not be troubled by the uncertainty that stirs your heart. Like the river that flows steadily to the ocean without knowing every twist, you too are moving toward your destiny. Focus on your action, not on the fruits. Surrender your doubts to Me, and walk your path with courage. I am with you in every step.”
🌱 A Familiar Story
Imagine a student preparing for an important exam. The night before, nervousness floods the mind — “What if I forget everything? What if I fail?” Yet, the student has studied diligently, practiced, and prepared. Trusting the process means believing in the work already done, letting go of the fear of the unknown, and walking into the exam room with calm resolve. The nervousness is just a visitor, not the master.
