Dear Universe,

First of all, thank you for everything you have granted me. I am grateful to all the love that I receive from family, friends, loved ones and even complete strangers every day. I am thankful for the nature, the sun that rises every single day, the moon and its cycle, the green trees, the flowers, the mountains and the divine energy that makes creation and life possible. 

I am grateful for my good health and all the resources that are flowing abundantly and effortlessly in my life. You have blessed me so generously that there is nothing I can complain about.  

Life till now has been a smooth ride with a few twists and turns. I am also thankful to all the challenges I faced and the hurdles that are yet to come. 

I am in harmony with the fact that difficult times are also as significant as happy times. Our problems make us who we are; our scars remind us of our brave history and the fact that we have made it so far. 

We succeed not despite our difficulties but because of them. I would not get the recognition, awards and successes I have in my life if I hadn't failed. We hear many famous personalities taking about how their failures have acted as a ladder to their success. 

Malcolm Gladwell has talked about this in his book Outliers. Oprah Winfrey shares that there is no such thing as failure, it is just God's way of saying not this way and guide you to the next direction.

As the years pass I realize that it is true that there is no such thing as failure, it is how your mind perceives it. For instance, you get really low scores or fail in your exams then you have two choices either you consider yourself as a failure and waste a lot of time and energy on it, feel anxious and stressed out or you can embrace your pain, own it, learn from it and move on. 

The choice is yours.

So, it is very important to control my mind and not be controlled by it.   

The fears and hopes in me make me more human. I hope to receive everything with grace and acceptance with ease and calmness just like the plants receive sunlight and grow effortlessly. 

Universe, please give me the strength to walk my path with integrity. Give me the wisdom to accept the moment as if I had chosen it. Give me the power to live the truth and my calling. No matter what happens make me so powerful that I don't give up on myself and also on others. 

You are amazing the way you are. Thank you for blessing me with all I need and the better times that are yet to come. I am waiting to embrace them with love and an open heart. 

We are connected. I am within you and you are in me. 

Thank you for always being so kind to me. 

Yours Sincerely,

Abhilasha
