After completing my high school, I moved to a premier commerce college studying with the brightest minds of East India. Until high school, I was the frog in the well arrogant about my achievements, not aware of the competition I was going to face.
My college had a series of student activities for holistic development in students. I realized this as a tremendous growth opportunity and jumped to participate in every event I saw fit. But, I was intimidated by the sheer talent and competent of my fellow mates who seemingly excelled in every task. I faced a series of failures which led to doubting my abilities and questioning myself,” Am I good enough?”. That was a rough time for me, and I became very low-spirited. I was in the second year, and I knew I had to change. The first task I needed to do was to increase my knowledge and understanding of the world, so I started reading books. Reading books exposed me to completely new ideas and different dimensions of thinking. I was never used to this type of thinking. I felt empowered, and the course of my life changed. I took it as a challenge to try different things in life. This helped me to learn more and helped me grow as a person.
During my second year, I tried to learn as much as about the internet, domain, and hosting. Then, I started my blog. Owning and running a blog gave me a whole new practical learning experience. To test my ability, I went to a 6 hour long and dangerous Kheerganga trek. That trek taught me on various levels and showed me where my greatest fear lies.
I am on a quest to know myself better. To satisfy my spiritual thirst, I tried the famous ten-day vipassana meditation. The course was the toughest thing I have ever did in my entire life. During the course, I realized how restless and ignorant I am. The course was a blessing to me, and during the session, I received the most significant learning in my life.
Challenges always make one a better person. It is part and parcel of life, and one should always strive to overcome it as these are the invisible teachers who help us to learn the subject of life.
