It takes courage to dance on the opportunities that come our way...
To take on the opportunities, status-quo needs to be changed... Some streching is required... One has to come out of one's comfort zone...
The courage is needed to have faith in oneself that one would be successful in managing all this, and that a new comfort zone will soon evolve...
Afterall, when one climbs a mountain, one may start to feel breathlessness and dizziness... But soon, one acclimatizes to the new reality and things become normal...
Also, opportunities are the best medium to exercise free will. Faith that the Divine grace will support our decision takes us through... (also read Father and Free Will, Attempt at Free Will, and The Law of Harvest)
It then takes courage to exercise free will. That we will be wholly responsible for the outcomes arising out of our choice and reap the harvest that we sow...
As of now, I am sure that the harvest would be bounty and will fill the hearts of all stakeholders with happiness, joy and love... Amen...

Please set this right!
Little children have a way of examining things... They would try to pry open the parts of a toy OR simply smash it around to see what happens... While some toys are repairable, others are brittle...
Aarushi would simply ask me to set it right... Almost exactly the same way as we ask God to set things right, after we have wronged them...
While some things are repairable immediately by plugging a screw or simply connecting the things right again, the brittle ones require an adhesive and time - and even then the scar is left...
The first category are like the material things in life... Can be managed almost immediately - we call it stroke of luck, or providence, and show immediate gratitude to God for them...
The brittle ones are relationships... Once broken, they need time to recover... God may help put the adhesive, but even He can't speed it up further than the minimum curing time, and the scar will remain... It may not be visible from a distance, but a closer look will reveal it all...
With experience, children tend to identify the brittle ones from the rock-solid, and already handle the brittle ones more carefully... Anger plays a spoil-sport in those stages...
Luckily, the relationship with God is one of divine love. It is not brittle... After all, the Father doesn't hold anything against His children... He is always there to help us mend our ways and our toys...
We just need to remember to ask Him for help... And simultaneously trust that He does the best job, and may be able to do it quicker if we cooperate...
