🌿 Where You Are Now
It’s so natural to feel lost at times when the path you chose doesn’t seem to fit your heart or spirit. Many of us carry that quiet, heavy question: Did I make the right choice? Remember, this feeling is not a failure—it’s a sign your soul is awakening, searching for deeper alignment. There is always room for growth, change, and rediscovery.
🕉️ Timeless Words
Chapter 18, Verse 47
यस्तु सर्वाणि कर्माणि मन्यते स्वकर्मणा तम् ।
स बुद्धिमान् मनुष्येषु स युक्तः कृत्स्नकर्मकृत् ॥
“But one who thinks that all actions are done by himself alone, and who is wise among men, is considered to be truly united in all his actions.”
— Bhagavad Gita 18.47
This verse reminds us that wisdom lies in owning our actions, including career choices, but also in understanding that we are part of a larger flow. Your profession is a part of your journey—not the whole story. True success comes when you act with awareness and integrity, no matter the field.
🪬 Guiding Lights
- Your career is a path, not a prison: It’s okay to change direction as you grow and learn more about yourself.
- Focus on your inner purpose (dharma), not just external success: When your work aligns with your deeper values, fulfillment follows.
- Detach from outcomes but commit to your efforts: Do your best without being enslaved by results or labels.
- See every experience as a teacher: Even “wrong” choices bring wisdom and clarity.
- Remember, your identity is not your profession: You are far greater than your job title or role.
🌊 Inner Dialogues
You might be telling yourself, “I’m stuck. I made a mistake, and it’s too late to fix it.” Or, “I’m disappointing everyone by not ‘succeeding’ as I planned.” These thoughts can feel heavy and isolating. But beneath them is a yearning for authenticity and peace. It’s okay to feel uncertain—that means you’re ready to listen more deeply to your true self.
📿 What He Would Say...
“My dear friend, do not be afraid to question your path. Life’s work is not about perfection but about sincere effort and self-discovery. Even if the profession you chose feels like a detour, it is part of your unique journey. Trust that every step is meaningful. When you act with honesty and devotion, you are never truly lost. I am with you in every moment, guiding your heart toward what is real and lasting.”

At first, they felt like a failure, afraid to admit the shift. Yet, when they finally embraced their passion, they found joy and purpose beyond grades or approval. Like this student, your career can be a garden where new seeds bloom after the old ones fall away.
