why is it that i feel so insecure and so unsupported, that inspite of the sikh community where i live, i have no energy to give. i am only twenty and i have no energy to share my compassion and love for the world. there is no one my age and there are activities with people who see the maya. conscious people are so hard to come by and now everyone is suffering from depression. this is only going to get worse as 2012 approaches. i am a woman and yet i feel as though everyone and everything tells me that i am nothing. one person can change the world. i want to be one of those people. i know i have the love, but my legs do not want to carry me. god has given us life as a reward for what we have already done. but there is still much to be done. i remember someone sayin that those who have grief that there is too much to be done become paralized, depressed and addictive. i am only one of the millions.

wahe guru ji ka khalsa, wahe guru ji ki fateh!!

peace on earth
peace in our hearts

Sat Nam! You say "i have no energy to give", and "my legs do not want to carry me." Why? Do you have no energy? If you have energy then why can't you give? It is sad that you feel so "down". . . but you can change that.

Remember two things:

1. Your degree of happiness is inversely proportional to how much time you spend thinking about your own predicament in life.

2. If your sadhana is strong and steady, you will have energy and you cannot be depressed.

Part of growing up is taking responsibility for your life and your own state of consciousness. You are not nothing. You are a daughter of Guru Gobind Singh and a divine princess. Open your heart to yourself and ask Guru Ji to show you how to serve. Seva is the source of all power and sadhana is the secret of happiness and strength.

All love in Divine, .....G
