Leap of Faith!🤞🏼

Destiny plans out the way!

Whatever happens to us, whoever crosses their path with us is not mere coincidence; it happens because the destinies are intertwined.

We have our own plans but the destiny maps out a different territory for us all.

Sometimes we can totally gauge what's served ahead when the path is like a vista but when the path has got twists and turns and a few bumps along the way, what is on platter next is little difficult to guess. And that's where "leap of faith" unfolds its magic.

Many a times we are not clear with any specific plans ahead, we just jump into an unknown journey with a little hope, trust and faith in the heart by thinking everything will be taken care of, ultimately!

Some plans fail and some escapes the rout of setbacks to head towards the journey of success. A new plans become the part of journey out of nowhere like pleasant surprises.

We doubt the process and it's quite natural too. We doubt our capacity, capabilities but despite these all, that spark within keeps us moving further. Those who show resilience get rewarded for the journey that they cross.

That's why I assure you; keep going!

You may seem like a turtle of the race but remember the story of turtle and hare.

Slow and steady always, always, always wins the race!!!

Time for a backstory -

I have a little story to share which inspired and motivated me to pen down this. Nature is great at teaching us precious lessons. So I have this Monstera plant at my home in Mumbai for over 4 years. It is my favorite plant among all others that I have. I love to pamper and nurture that plant a lot. Naturally, the tendency of the plant is to grow strong with a lot of resilience. Many a times, It has revived itself of all the odds like a rebirth.

Last month, the plant had a very beautiful fresh minty green new leaf that was yet to open fully. Usually, it takes a week to complete the whole process of blossoming the leaf. Two weeks passed, three weeks passed but there was no sign of any progress with the process. The leaf was as it was for over 4 weeks and everybody in my home except me believed that that plant has become week. For 4 weeks I was consistently checking the progress but the leaf was taking its sweeet time to blossom. Later I got fade up with the delay and stopped checking the plant every day.

One day, I was doing some cleaning work in the window and my dear Monsty drew my attention. I was astonished! (Yes, that jaw dropping moment happened at that very moment!) Finally, the leaf was fully opened and it had more fenestration (splits on the leaves) on the leaf than all other leaves. It was a giant, big, beautiful leaf in the Monstera family!

What morale it taught me :

Probably, the leaf took a "leap of faith" instead of doubting its capacity and capability to grow beautifully. The whole sprouting process was time consuming, delayed but it was never denied.

The process is taking time means something beautiful is brewing at the moment behind the curtains by the supreme almighty. Many a times, in life we doubt the chosen path; we doubt whether we deserve something or not; we doubt the process; we doubt the divine power; we doubt ourselves, but that's not the right way to approach life. You have to take a leap of faith even when the road ahead seems foggy, and unpredictable. You have to trust and have faith on the journey that destiny is unfolding for you. Just look around and the nature is assuring you exactly the same!
