Page 16 - HERE AND NOW Dec 2022

Slowly, I started seeing light at the end of tunnel, thanks to the awesome mentors who handheld me
during this difficult journey. In due course, when I returned to good health, I needed to re-establish my
beliefs about work-money-expectations from life. During all those rough times, I had put in quite a lot of
effort and learnt a few required skills, and saw my confidence gradually returning. From avoiding people,
I was now getting back to my gregarious self, always willing to meet people and help them in whatever
way I could, and this added zest to my life.

I now seem to have found my purpose in life. Life is exciting and I feel 24 hours in a day are insufficient
to do what I now want to do.
Here are a few of my realizations during my journey and for the road ahead: -

1. Speak up! There might be a very simple way out and you need not struggle endlessly in the dark.
Though it needs courage, it is worth the effort.

2. When you don’t trust yourself, trust your mentor for his or her intention to see you happy.

3. Be bold enough to check your belief system and restructure it with guidance if it is not helping
you to live well.

4. There is abundance in universe and it totally depends upon how you see things. You are not caught
in the situation; you are caught in your thought process. Change your thoughts and let appropriate
action accompany them; there is always a way out of every rough situation.

5. If awareness is a trigger, then immerse yourself in the lifelong process of awareness and self-
development.
6. A baby step each day is a good way to start and understand your struggle with self-discipline.

7. Find your tribe and if others are being a resource for you, you too be a resource for somebody.
What goes around comes back multifold. So, give of your goodness to others, no matter what!
