How did i overcome challenges to achieve my ambitions in life?

I am really proud to say this that I have transformed drastically as a person in the past 2 years.It started with  a roadblock, a major one if spoken about from a professional viewpoint.I hadn’t encountered failure or rejection till I was 20 years of age.That was the 1st time I got the real taste of how the future will be and taught me a lesson”Don’t be afraid of the future,it will ruin your present.Its really interesting story if spoken about it to people but difficult to explain about it to the people but I truly believe that If someone trusts ones instincts , decisions can never be wrong.I had cleared my CA-IPCC group 1 examinations and completed 8  months of articleship .I took the onus on me and decided to leave the course as I felt it wasn’t something for which I was born for as I had the innate ability in me to interact with people so decided to take up something which not only quenched  my thirst for finance as also providing a medium through which I can exhibit my communication skills and also to interact with the clients.So , I started gearing up for my Mba entrance examinations and surpassed the danger looming over my forehead that is maths as I was from a non engineering  background and had to put in a lot of efforts to get in groove with the subject.After securing a decent score in my entrances , I cracked the interview for a top management institute ,TAPMI for the banking and financial services course which was one of my main targets to achieve due to the structure of the course .

There was another unfortunate accident which resulted in me forced to rule out football for a period of 1 year and it was something I couldn’t digest as football has been an integral part of me around 15 years from now .This challenge was heartbreaking especially  as it coincided with the professional challenges in my life .However , I did not lose hope and came back strongly after the ligament tear operation gaining around 7 kgs  in a year, I lost all of it within the next 3 months and came back to shape thereby making me a really satisfied person and an accomplished human being.My writings on blogs were an inspiration for myself and the support I gained from my friends and family during this tough period was irreversible. Glad to have overcome these challenges , I feel such tough patches really make you a strong person and a more experienced human being.
