Divine Will

Alok da, I was contemplating on the idea that in life, humans mostly live to make others happy- at least I have lived mostly like that.

I submitted a proposal dedicated as an offering to the Mother and unexpectedly received the project despite lacking standard credentials. While executing the work, I hit a limitation outside my expertise and prayed for guidance, but it was simultaneously decided to delegate that portion to an outside specialist. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐ŸŒฑ[…]
