🌿 Let’s Begin Here
Dear friend, feeling regret over past career choices is a tender ache many of us carry quietly. It’s like looking back at a path you once took and wishing you had chosen differently. I see your heart’s restlessness, and I want you to know: this moment holds the seed of new understanding and freedom. Your journey is still unfolding, and your true purpose is never lost—even if it feels unclear right now.
🕉️ Timeless Words
सर्वधर्मान्परित्यज्य मामेकं शरणं व्रज ।
अहं त्वां सर्वपापेभ्यो मोक्षयिष्यामि मा शुचः ॥
(भगवद्गीता 18.66)
Translation:
"Abandon all varieties of dharma and simply surrender unto Me alone. I will liberate you from all sinful reactions; do not fear."
Explanation:
Krishna invites you to release the weight of all your past judgments and regrets. Instead of being trapped by what you think you should have done, surrender your worries and trust that a higher wisdom will guide you forward. Liberation begins when you stop punishing yourself and open your heart to acceptance and trust.
🪬 Guiding Lights
- Your past decisions are lessons, not life sentences. Each choice shaped your growth and brought you closer to self-awareness.
- True purpose unfolds in the present moment. What you do now matters more than what you regret.
- Detach from the outcome, focus on your duty (karma). Act with sincerity, without being bound by past results.
- Surrender your doubts and fears to a higher power, inviting peace into the chaos of your mind.
- Every day is a new chance to realign with your deeper calling. Your career is a journey, not a fixed destination.
🌊 Inner Dialogues
It’s natural to hear that inner voice whispering, “What if I chose wrong? What if it’s too late to change?” Your heart may feel heavy with “if only” and “should have.” This inner turmoil is real and valid. But it’s also a signal—a gentle nudge from your soul asking you to pause, breathe, and see yourself with kindness. You are not your mistakes. You are a courageous traveler learning on the path.
📿 What He Would Say...
“My dear one, do not be weighed down by the shadows of your past choices. Each step you took was part of your unique dance in this world. I am here as your refuge; surrender your burdens to Me. Walk forward with courage, for your purpose is not lost but patiently waiting to be discovered in the present moment. Trust that the path will reveal itself when your heart is open and steady.”
🌱 A Familiar Story
Imagine a student who once chose a major that didn’t feel right after a year of study. At first, they felt stuck, burdened by the time ‘wasted.’ But then they realized that those months taught them resilience, discipline, and what they truly value. They shifted their focus, chose a new path aligned with their passion, and thrived. Like this student, your past decisions are not failures but stepping stones toward your true calling.
