A shift often begins
before any movement does.
Sometimes the situation stays the same,
but something in us no longer wants
to meet it from the same place.
A shift often begins before any movement does.
In Bhagavad Gita Shloka 1.21, Arjuna asks Lord Krishna to place his chariot between both armies.
The armies remain where they are.
What Arjuna asks to change is his own position in relation to them.
And honestly... many of us experience this too.
Sometimes we step closer.
Sometimes we create distance.
Sometimes we move from the edge towards the centre.
The situation around us may remain unchanged.
But our position begins shaping how we meet what is before us.
This shloka reminds us
A shift does not always begin with the situation changing.
Sometimes it begins with where we choose to stand.
The situation may remain the same—but something in us may no longer want to meet it from the same place.
Ask yourself
Where in your life are you noticing
that your position is shaping
how you meet a situation?
Sometimes nothing around us has changed.
Only the place from which we are meeting it has.
