Finally, GOD Gave Me Chances, Not Shortcuts.

There was a point in my life when I started understanding something very deeply — peace, success, happiness, and growth are not things that are directly handed to you. Life does not work like that.

People often pray and say, “God, please give me peace,” or “God, please give me success,” but I don’t think life works in such a direct way.


If a hungry person prays for food, food does not magically appear in front of him. Instead, life gives him a chance to earn that food. Maybe an opportunity to work. Maybe an idea. Maybe strength to continue one more day. But the food itself still has to be earned.


And I think the same thing applies to almost everything in life.


People go to temples, wear rings with different stones, tie threads on their hands, visit astrologers, show their palms, and hope that somehow their life will become easier. But if wearing a ring could truly fix life, then every person wearing those rings would already be peaceful and successful.


But reality doesn't looks like that.


I have seen this in my own life too. My father wears a ring because people told him it would help control his anger and hunger issues. But I still see him getting angry sometimes. I don’t see some magical transformation happening because of a ring.


That made me question many things.


I was also once told to wear a ring for my own betterment. But honestly, I never wanted to wear it. Deep inside, I always felt that whatever happens in my life — whether it is success or failure — should happen because of my own actions, behaviour, hard work, and decisions.


Not because of a stone on my finger.


If one day I clear an exam through years of studying, why would I want people to say, “Oh, he succeeded because of that ring”? No. I want credit to go to my work. Even if I fail, I want that failure to belong to me too.

Because at least then the life is truly mine.


The problem is that many people pray without understanding what prayer actually MEANS!!

They go to temples only for asking for things: money, marks, success, relationships, peace... but they forget, that asking alone not really changes life. God may give opportunities but it is still your responsibility to use them. If you ask for peace, life will not directly give you peace, it will give you situations where you can choose calmness instead of anger. It will give you chances where you can forget instead of fighting. What you apply is completely your choice.

That is what I think manifestation actually is.

I'm not saying astrologer or believes are completely wrong for everyone. Different people find comfort in different things but personally, I feel that too much dependency on these things will destroy one's self belief. At some point a person must trust there own actions more than symbols.

The same thing applies to becoming a doctor. God does not suddenly hand someone a medical degree, but life gives them a person, a chance to see someone...may be a child choking on food or may be moving an injured animal from road. Maybe helping someone in danger and in that moment, without any office you will title, that person still becomes a doctor-someone who saved someone's life...

So true. God only provides oppertunities but we have to convert them to success from our hardwork and skills

It is true. I have also read a post saying "The only reason between God and me is that I will try to stop the mistakes that is being happened in front of me instead of telling that is for the plot"

True. Hard work and patience lead us to success, not gemstones. It is essential to know our worth and capabilities, rather than relying on rings
