    Question in poetry form.

    What does God want me
    To do in life

    I am yet to be a Mother
    Let alone a Wife

    What does God want me
    To do in life

    I thought God wanted
    To teach me to
    Yield a medical knife
    To relieve patients
    Of their physical strife

    Yet there are only 24
    Hours in a day
    With barely any time for study
    Yet alone play

    What does God want me
    To do in life

    I neither want to be to scatterbrained
    With fluff in my mind and
    Thoughts all foggy

    Nor do I want to be stressed
    And bitter
    Adoptimg cats
    Plus their large litters

    What does God want me
    To do in Life

    I wish to reach for the stars
    Yet I must stay on the ground
    And relieve my loved ones of
    Their painful scars

    What does God want me
    To do in life

    It is only for my loved ones
    I wish to reach the stars
    To help them to be the
    Best that they are

    Without these loved ones
    What would be my aim
    What would be my destiny

    What does God want me
    To do in life

    I like the questioning and the wondering.

    If your asking God wants you to carry on talking to him for the rest of your life, not forget him, be a good human to your best ability and help others. Pray for that which you want provided that it will be good for you. Have patience things will come to you at the right time.

    I feel it is easier to talk to God

    It is more heartfelt and personal

    Once I start talking, the words start flowing

    God wants you to find joy
    Within yourself , not in a handsome boy
    God wants you to live for today
    Not focus on what happened yesterday
    Pick up that brush, paint with your heart
    Continue finding joy in your art
    You are a no less a woman
    You are gods chosen one
    Smell the Starbucks coffee
    And promise that you will try to be happy !

    I am thinking , on one hand there is an active thread about “how many are living life to the fullest?” And then there is this poem about “what does god want me to do?” @ChennaiExpress connect the 2 & you have your answer : live your life to the fullest without any qualifiers like after marriage or getting a medical degree.

    @Sandycandy very well said!

    @ChennaiExpress
    i tried to tell you the same yesterday. but you are blind to reason in your obsessive thought that you are doing it all for loved ones.


    i would have been the first to cheer if the tune was

    i wish to reach the stars
    i wish to grab life with two hands
    live happily and see
    the joy reflect in my loved ones..


    remember ce,

    no loved one demands
    you to be on illusive sacrifice for love
    your brain keeps overthinking
    too much thinking is disaster in making
    try taking a goal at a time,

    a medical degree is not the only solution
    to relieve people of pain.
    go for it after thinking about the pros and cons...needs a lot of hardwork and grit to get back to studying medicine.

    you were with toastmasters
    were doing fine until you started
    having issues with people.

    keep the paintbrush moving,
    let the colors spill over into life,
    smell the roses,
    make some friends,
    explore new places,
    dare a litlle, move out of comfort
    zone

    your loved ones can
    take care of themselves
    stop thinking they are helpless..
    they are stronger than you think,
    and you are stronger too,
    show them you can live life
    by your terms..

    Beautiful poem

    I promise I will try to be happy.

    Am starting to realize that being unnecessarily unhappy is a sin, because I'm not appreciating what I already have.

    Nothing like painting and Starbucks... they truly go hand in hand!

    Joy reflected into loved ones

    Reflected into loved ones

    Guess I never thought of it that way

    Toastmasters was a disaster... if I would have known the advice of "opening one button at a time" when showing my artwork, inner emotions, things would have turned out better.

    I really wish to move out of comfort zone. Luckily the top top management at my office knows my zest for painting and put me on a project that calls for creativity.

    I'm hoping to build friendships using my artwork (somehow I have to heavily guard my tongue when speaking)

    I am trying to push and push out of my cozy shell.
