AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

What do I do if there’s too much pressure on me to succeed academically but I don’t know if I will? because the pressure is really getting to me..😣

Academic success means very little from the point of view of quality and fulfilment of life, let alone its purpose. Much more important is to understand what you really want to do, what you feel as the aim of your life. Besides it is always better to develop different parts of your nature through dance, games etc rather than only academics. But the pressure will be there until you learn to stand firm on your choice. The first thing therefore is to find out through self reflection as to what you want to do, what does your heart take natural joy in and feels as the thing you are born to do. Once you find that out, the rest will come relatively easily. 

Affectionately,

My niece who is 12 yrs old doesn’t like sharing😥. If she takes her favorite food to school and her friends ask her to share, she doesn’t give or gives a very small piece. If by chance she happens to share a chocolate with girls she doesn’t like, she wants to snatch it away. She is attached to Krishna, and only thing that pacifies her is when we tell her that Krishna likes if she shares what He has given her. She says “I know it’s bad, i know it’s a devil that says this, but I can’t overpower it. It tells me that those girls did bad and said bad things about you, instead of that you shared your things, now you go steal something from them. Or I keep thinking what will I get if I give them”..[conti]
