Beyond hurdles!

Every person in his/her lifetime would encounter a situation which they need to overcome in the best possible way. One such instance which I faced was to overcome my fear of examinations . Though I was a hard worker and did all the possible readings before the D-DAY , there were instances in which I blanked out at the examination hall due to the stress which I faced.After a few sloppy attempts in exams I decided to work on the problems and not on the symptoms. I started interaction with many of seniors who gave me lot of ideas to beat the hurdle. After much contemplation and discussion, I realized the stress within me came because of the need to satisfy others. There wasn't any stress when I did a particular work for myself . I started viewing things in a different perspective. I read a lot of philosophy so as to inculcate positiveness within me. I watched movies which were more motivational and positive by nature. Slowly things became better and most importantly happier to me. I was able to face examination in a better way than I did before and indeed my scores were better than during my earlier times. Alas 'Growth' is nothing but being better than our previous self. It wasn't a great achievement on a national scale but still this is something which I feel I could be proud of  forever and that is all that matters when we decide to GROW!
