Small Story 298: “By God's Grace: Venu's Unshakable Conviction” Confidence is essential, but overconfidence is not advisable — this is Venu's strong belief, well known to his circle of friends. After his evening walk, Venu usually sits in the apartment's reception hall between 6:30 and 7:00 PM. There, he meets fellow residents and engages in discussions on various topics. Everyone appreciates Venu’s thoughtful replies and the calm, convincing way he addresses questions. What people admire the most is his humble phrase, "By God’s grace," which he often adds when speaking about future plans or achievements. Despite the diversity of beliefs among residents, many resonate with the sincerity of his words. Venu is a retired officer from RAW, and his clear vision and composed demeanor reflect his experience and inner discipline. According to him, people often doubt whether they can attend an event or complete a task on their own, fearing obstacles. But Venu has a strong conviction: if you sincerely say, “By God’s grace, I will attend,” things will fall into place. He firmly believes that divine grace adds strength to our intentions. Raj and Sam, two of his close friends, completely endorse Venu’s philosophy. They too have experienced how a shift in mindset — from self-doubt to faith-backed confidence — can change outcomes.
