I started writing this book years ago during a very difficult moment in graduate school. I didn’t realize it at the time, but writing this book became my way of motivating and encouraging my way through this difficult time. This moment encouraged me to write something that would encourage other people who might also be going through a difficult time. I wanted people to believe in themselves and not to allow the limitations that others place on them or the hardships of life to get the best of them. This book is also my reflection on the power of God and everything He has meant to my life. It is a source of encouragement for anyone and everyone that needs it! This book highlights moments where I had a choice of going either left or right, backwards or forwards, to listen or not to listen, or to give up or keep going. These are inspirational moments and moments of impact. These are the moments I call A Few Steps in the Right Direction! We all have these moments. Moments that somehow leave a lasting impact on the direction of our lives. Some come out of nowhere, whereas others we see coming like headlights on a dark road. Nevertheless, if handled carefully, these moments can serve as a few steps in the right direction if we allow them to. So, in this book, I aim to share some of those moments with you from my life and what that has meant for my journey. I hope it blesses you as much as it blessed me.

The ‘Bhagavad Gita’ is not only a holy book or a scripture, but it is also a book of life that teaches you how to live your life meaningfully and purposefully. In other words, it is a guidebook to guide you to follow the righteous paths. The ‘Bhagavad Gita’ is a sermon given by Lord Krishna to his beloved friend, Arjuna before the epic war of Mahabharata when the latter was engulfed in the ocean of emotion, fear, doubts, negativity and inferiority complex. Arjuna was morally and emotionally down. He didn’t view any rescue from his emotional bondage. He was in a great dilemma. He wouldn’t want to fight against his own kins and kilns for a mere piece of land, and slay his own grandfathers, uncles, teachers, brothers, nieces and nephews. His mind, heart and soul trembled with doubts and fears and blinded him. Even, he would want to leave the battlefield and prefer to live an ascetic life in the forest. Therefore, Arjuna sought and surrendered to Lord Krishna to guide and lead him. He became like a student of Lord Krishna. Lord Krishna made Arjuna realized that he was a Kshatriya by birth, and his foremost duty and responsibility was to fight for truth, justice, righteousness and peace. He couldn’t run away from his moral duty and responsibility. And if he would want to run away from his moral duty and responsibility (i.e. Dharma), then he would commit a sin (i.e. Adharma).

When you say yourself, “I am positive” it means you’re injecting a positive energy within you. You’ll feel positive in everything around you. You’ll feel like you’re reborn in this world. You’ll feel the positive currents flowing inside you. Your mind, body and soul are interconnected with each other. The way you feel in your mind in the same way you’ll feel in your body and in your soul. If your mind feels positive energy, then both your body and soul will automatically feel the same positive energy. Positive in and positive out. Negative in and negative out. If you develop a positive mindset in your life, then you’ll always see the positive outcome in your life. On the other hand, if you develop a negative mindset in your life, you’ll always see a negative outcome in your life. It is like as you sow as you reap. Why many people couldn’t do well in their lives despite they have their skills and talents? The only reason behind is that they have negative mindsets. They see negative things in everything. Their mindsets are engrossed in the whirlpools of confusions and doubts and ifs and buts, and as a result, they can’t take any initiative in their lives. And in the end they start blaming games and give their silly excuses. What is the success formula of your life? Have you ever asked yourself? No. The only success formula of your life is to stay positive in every situation of your life no matter whatsoever happens to you. ∽***∽

The word ‘Gita’ means song and the word. ‘Bhagavat’ means God. And ‘Bhagavat Gita’ means ‘the song of God’. The sermon of Gita was delivered by Lord Krishna Himself to His beloved friend and devotee Arjuna when the later was clouded with the remorse of the outcome of the battle at the battlefield of Kurukshetra, before the fierce battle between the two closed kith and kin, the Padavas and the Kauravas. The Lord showered the discourse of His immortal wisdom and knowledge to enlighten the confused mind of Arjuna. The Bhagavat Gita is the ocean of wisdom and knowledge that teaches the art of life of a man in every perspective, right from the very first moment of his birth to the very last moment of his life. The Bhagavad Gita is not only a holy scripture but also a scripture of life. It is the complete and ultimate sums of the philosophies of life of a man. ∽***∽
