Hey People,
Lemme share a story of my future with you.
A future that was promised to me. (PS: This is nothing related to personal life.)
A future that I had invested a long time on.
A future that I was certain was mine.
In a puff of an email, that future was taken away from me.
Of course, it was not promised on paper.
I was shook.
Shook from the core.
Just could not get the vagarities of it.
For a few minutes I could see my mental health issues resuming.
It was a day I would count in one of the top ten failures of my life so far.
While this lasted for one-and-a-half day and I was totally lost, this morning I finally came to terms with the life lessons from it:
I thought over it and there ARE actually beautiful opportunities for me from this no. I am glad this no came. Trust me, in prospect of this future, I had been ruling out multiple beautiful things from my life.
I learnt that people will find a way to convince you, even if they can see the damage they have done to you.
I go to a spiritual class daily, where they teach us Godly versions. One of the things I learnt yesterday morning was, “You have to show the awesomeness God has created in you, through your happy face.” Throughout the day, my number one focus was NOT to show my troubles to my parents. Not that they won’t have helped, but I see them seeing their other three daughters in pain, didn’t want to impose mine on them as well. So when I was back to normal today, I just communicated it to them. Kept up my cheerful demeanour. Told them the reality today morning. And above all, developed more power within.
There could be many more lessons (which I will tell you in the month of June…ahem ahem), but for now I will tell you a slogan that my father and I have been using whenever I don’t get a client I wish I could:
Ek jayega, hazaar aayenge…
(If one will go, thousands more will arrive!)
And I can vouch for it. Whenever I haven’t been able to close on a client, the one that came after that along with the compensation they offered, I just got glad that the former prospective client wasn’t crystallised.
Every. Single. Time.
So will it happen in this biiig super duper unexpected no of my life.
I know like I know like I know.
So do you my friend :)
If I could ask one thing from you, it is share this post with someone who is going through a tough time in their lives. It will help them see a better future, even though a good one was cancelled.
The rain will stop, the night will end, the hurt will fade.
Hope is never so lost that it can’t be found.
