Innocence is a game-changer - The truth about Manifesting Success

 “Wisdom is in innocence.” It’s a reminder to stay playful, take risks, laugh freely, and find hope even in tough times. In a world full of rules and expectations, this simple idea brings us back to what really matters: believing in ourselves and the spark of possibility within us.

We live in multiple realities at once, whether we realize it or not. There’s the visible, structured world with its societal norms and limitations. And then there’s another layer—a more personal, limitless space—where our potential thrives. Call it the Universe, the Creator, or the Divine; the truth is, creation exists in every one of us. The more we restrict ourselves to others’ ideas of success or failure, the more we deny the unique magic we carry.

The story of Sri Bala, the divine daughter of Maa Lalita Tripura Sundari, captures this perfectly. Sri Bala, just a child, wanted to fight demons. Her mother, wise and protective, hesitated, worried that her daughter would be harmed. But Bala’s determination was unwavering. She believed in her own strength, so much so that Lalita eventually relented. And with her innocence, courage, and faith, Bala defeated the demons.

This isn’t just a mythical tale; it’s a reflection of the power within us all. Bala didn’t wait for permission or approval to step into her greatness. She acted from a place of trust—trust in herself and her abilities.

But how often do we hesitate? We wait for someone else’s approval to take the next step. And if that validation doesn’t come, we start doubting ourselves. I’ve heard so many people say, “I can’t succeed because my family doesn’t believe in me,” or, “No one understands my dreams.”

Here’s the truth: you don’t need everyone to understand. What you need is to trust yourself. Why let someone else’s opinion define your worth? People can only see the world through their own limited experiences. Expecting them to fully grasp your dreams isn’t realistic.

At the same time, I’ve seen people who succeed quietly and confidently. They don’t waste time explaining their plans or convincing others. They act. Their belief in themselves speaks louder than any words could.

This is where most of us struggle—fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, fear of the unknown. It’s like a demon living in our heads, whispering doubts. But fear only holds the power we give it. The moment you choose to act in spite of your fear, you take away its control.

Sri Bala’s story reminds us of this. Even though the world might have seen her as “just a child,” she didn’t wait for the world’s approval. She trusted herself, acted boldly, and won her battle.

If you’re feeling stuck because others don’t support or understand your dreams, it’s time to look inward. Do you trust yourself? Do you believe in your own abilities? External validation might never come, but self-validation—the quiet, personal belief in your own strength—is what truly matters.

I once heard my Guru, ManojDa, say, “If you have the will, the Divine will give you the energy.” That stayed with me. It means that taking the first step is what creates the path. The moment you decide to try—whether it’s something new or something uncertain—you unlock the flow of energy and guidance you need.

But often, we think the opposite. We tell ourselves, “I don’t have the energy to start,” or, “I’ll act when the conditions are perfect.” By doing this, we close the door before we even begin.

Faith doesn’t have to be big to be powerful. Even faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains. And while faith in the Divine is important, it’s equally crucial to have faith in yourself. You are part of creation. The moment you look within and believe in yourself, you align with something bigger—a flow of energy and purpose that helps you overcome any obstacle.

Sri Bala teaches us that success isn’t about waiting for the world to see your worth. It’s about trusting in yourself, no matter how small or insignificant others might make you feel. When you act with that kind of belief, you become unstoppable.

So, take that leap. Laugh a little louder. Dream a little bigger. Be playful, fearless, and hopeful. Like Sri Bala, trust that your unique magic is enough to conquer whatever challenges come your way. Because wisdom isn’t just found in experience—it’s in the innocence of believing in yourself, exactly as you are.
