Turning #Obstacles into #Opportunities - My Story
Everyone has their own shares of struggles, by destiny/life or karma. I had mine too.
Let’s start from the beginning…..
I had a pretty rough time in school, I was bullied / mocked. As a result, I was pushed to become an introvert. I did tried to distract myself & focus on my studies, but I was not a topper. I was an above average student. But it doesn’t work in a joint family where you have cousins scoring 100% marks in a subject like History.
You got me, right?
After school, my parents guided me to pursue CA. I always did what others told me, never questioned / retaliated. Simply obeyed whatever was told.
I never failed in any exams, but CA posed a major threat to my remaining 1% of confidence when I got caught in the loop of failing over & over during CA Inter.
Amid this, books came to my rescue. I developed the habit of reading & started my YouTube channel. Through that I reinvented myself, learned new skills & regained my lost confidence. Additionally, I got chance to connect with lots of resourceful people through YouTube and I became more mindful / self-aware.
I finally dropped CA & pursued MBA, where destiny puts me in the dilemma of choosing Marketing v/s HR (It’s a different story in itself. To be cont’d).
But today, I am happily helping people find fulfilling career paths.
Moral of the story:
“It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.”
― William Shakespeare
