Baba...whatever i have right now, is a consequence of the choices i made and my karma. I am not going to pray for the desires to be fullfilled. Rather i will pray to you to give me strength, wisdom and courage to be able to be able to support my family and my individual needs. I want to be at peace with myself.
And i should let my actions speak. Its a battle that i have chosen to fight and i am determined to win. Now i have to direct all my energies towards winning it. Nothing matters more than this. After all, winning is the best way of responding to my critics. Losers are left to justify their decisions. No one questions the winner. Its about proving a point to myself - "If i can think about it, i can do it.. Its all up here in my mind." And in the process, i can prove my detractors wrong as well....

Thats what is called killing 2 birds with one stone!!
My battle against - my physical image / my mental conditioning / my ability to learn and grow.
