Revision history [back]

I'm currently in university and doing fairly well but I don't sincerely enjoy it. My parents wish for me to go to law school but I don't feel that is my destiny - I don't feel like I'm meant to be a lawyer. But I don't have the heart to tell my parents that, as I feel a sort of obligation to them. They've been so good to their kids and I can't even imagine hurting them like that. I've felt like this for a while but I just kept putting it off and now that I'm 21, I feel like maybe I'm wasting time. If I do choose to leave school - then another problem awaits. I don't have the financial resources to invest in what I'm passionate about. It's very important to me to live a life that is fulfilling and to know that I'm living to my fullest destiny - that I'm doing what I'm meant to. And I don't know if law school is that. I really have no idea about what to do now because either way I'll be hurting someone - myself or my family.

A few years back I did mention that maybe I don't want to attend post-secondary but everyone in my family became super upset about it. Self-admittedly, I take my parents wishes very seriously. I do what they tell me to because I trust their instinct and direction, and thus it's very, very hard for me to propose something like this again. I sincerely lack the courage.

I just wish everything would fall into place without anyones feeling/faith being disturbed. Is there a specific prayer I could do to help?

By the way, I did take a Hukamnama concerning this and received Ang 467. https://www.sikhnet.com/hukam/personal/1711%2C1712%2C1713

Any genuine advice is appreciated. Thank you
