In the fastest moving era, where each and every second counts, struggle and challenges has become one of the integral aspects of everyday life. Rapidly advancing technology, evolving customer needs, climate changes, threat of epidemics and pandemics, water security are the macro level challenges which is prevailing over the world. If the view of challenges is reduced to much micro level, it can be approximately derived that everything is directly or indirectly rooted to one of the most complex architecture of this universe- ‘The Human Mind’.
Challenges to an individual can be physical or mental, and the human mind self-created challenge is the one which I confronted in the passing year of my life. Growing up, attaining adulthood and independent life is always sugar-coated view or imagination for a child, unaware of the responsibilities, dedication, hard decisions, struggles, biases and differences it brings from the real world.
Being a darling daughter and only child of the family, I had an image established inside my mind that the whole world revolves around me, I just have to be best at the task I am designated for the particular age, like studies in school and college days. It was the first time I moved away from my much-coveted area to a metropolitan city for realizing the dream of being self-dependent and income holder.
With every passing day I came across the drawbacks of being an adult. Less attention, struggle for proving your worth, not being able to adjust with large group of people, reducing health, forced self-analysis shook my mind to rethink my entire imagination. ‘Real world is not survivable’- My mind said. ‘But you are a true warrior’- My heart replied. It was a series of conflicts, heavy clouds of confusions persisting in sleepless nights for months.
Then one day I came across something worth stating,” The mind is its own place and in itself, can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven’. It was a calm moment. At least, I had the diagnosis of the problem. Now, I had to search answer to certain questions which only I can find for myself. I can’t change the reality, but I can change my approach to see the problem. I was actually existing in the past and expecting a conceivable future. Improvement needs time. It is continuous till date. It has provided me better perception towards life and myself. Imagination still preserve, but with filler of reality and hope.
As said, the mind of human is capable of anything. #ABGLP
