The Fear

It is my story and I am lucky to live a blessed life till now & remain optimistic.
I am a Hotelier and do not know anything other than working in hotels, I am a father to a son and husband to a superwoman.
I thank all individuals & companies who gave me an opportunity during my career span of 19 years and I am sure that all the time someone entrusted me I have lived the values, making my team & seniors proud of me.
The Fear of Losing is with everyone, losing a job, a house, money, love or someone living close with you. Some fears hold you for life and while some fade away, as a fresher fear of losing a job is more in comparison with someone who has earned & saved well, with me the fear of losing my job always existed as I am the primary earner in my family.
With all these years of service, I have gained a lot of experience, added required skills, understood people and experimented on my career first with fear and then with a positive attitude of asking a question to myself Why Not? Keeping that positive attitude I moved from one department to another and so as in position, I did dare myself that weather I can be an entrepreneur and even though I lost all my money in my venture, I gained real-time life experiences which I would not have learned by going to an MBA college.
Life remains full of fear only till the time you let the fear overpower you, once you take that leap forward against the fear you become the winner. A few days post covid19, I also had insecurities and fear of whether I would be able to survive a month without a job and with literary no savings, this pandemic came and did bring change in my life like many others. The perspective of what is essential changed from fancy to simple and the support from family & friends made me happier, this is the 3rd month the salary is not credited in my account & financially I am surviving with help of my superwoman but remain optimistic that these days are not forever then why to fear. I have now become fearless as I move forward every day listening to the more fearful stories of others.
As I share my learning and hope it inspires young minds, I remain optimistic that none of you will remain like this, you will also grow and become wiser to write your own story of coming out of fears in life. Taking the learning out of my story, invest the time you have gained in strengthing the relationship with family members, reading and learning a new skill is an investment do that, sharing is growing so share what you have learned with young colleagues, use your savings well every rupee counts and trust your gut feeling.

4 年I would also co-relate my story 99% with you dear. The only difference is that you have come out of entrepreneurship and I am still fighting, don't know by when I'll come out of this.... I still remember the first time I met you during Realm of 1589 at Udaipur and secondly at The Lait Mumbai, where I stayed for 1 week. You are a gem, believe me. Stay safe and happy always.
