My life has been more like a railway track. While on one hand, I did have immense support from my close circle, the other track was a little creaky as it was not on strong ground. This other track was my own personality.
I would like to describe myself as a common woman. I borrowed the reference from the word “the Common Man” by R.K. Lakshman Sir, my idol Cartoonist. I have been a witness to several situations varying in nature making me think “Why does it have to be this way?”
From birth till this point, I have faced numerous challenges which limited me physically and emotionally.
Several challenges were thrown by life and I ended up creating more myself.
Talk about digging my own pit! SELF-SABOTAGE.
I used to snap at my Mom wherever she brought a spiritual angle to my situation saying “Challenge are blessings in disguise!” It took me years to understand that it’s indeed TRUE.
Those very challenges which frustrated me to the core earlier are now driving me towards leading a life with more meaning and PURPOSE.
One fine day in 2013, I found a platform for immense learning – Toastmasters International. This platform started opening up possibilities to explore my own TRUE SELF. Coins started falling into my Self-worth box which was seemingly empty earlier.
In 2014, I started experiencing a major shift. Satish Rao, a Life Coach introduced me to a new way of life, something which I had not thought of earlier. Even better, I dint have to go anywhere else in search of it. It was more about finetuning the way I was looking at my own life.
I started seeing a rainbow in every challenge. I still faced several hurdles but now, my way of dealing with them started shifting for the better – with a smile. This smile came from the strength being built within.
COACHING had such a huge impact on me that I inturn decided to become a COACH myself. I was looking for an alternate career stream and Coaching became my calling. Leaving a plush job in the Corporate sector wasn’t easy. However, I chose my new-found passion in Coaching.
It did not end there. In 2015, Satish and myself started a Company together “High Performance Alchemy Pvt. Ltd.” Our goal is to reach out to more people and help them TRANSFORM their lives just like it transformed mine.
I strongly believe that irrespective of the background we come from and the family/close circle support we have, each of us have to carve our own NICHE. Coaching helped me do it and am sure it will do wonders to you too in shaping your own life the way you want it to be.
Whenever the power goes off at night, I do not get irritated or scared by the darkness. Infact, I like the switch that happens. Suddenly, everything around me becomes calm and quiet. There will be pin-drop silence. This calmness helps me introspect further.
There will be power cuts in life to from time to time. Instead of treating that state as DARKNESS, take it as CALMNESS. It will open new doors of possibilities.
Behind every challenge lies a TRIGGER
Ahead of every challenge lies a simple SHIFT
This will help you reduce any challenge from a mountain to a mole-hill.
I do not believe in using JARGONS when it comes to describing life. It is simply meant to be LIVED. And … you can truly live life when you allow yourself to experience it to the fullest without falling prey to false beliefs like ..
“I can’t do it!”
“This is impossible!”
“What will others think of me?”
“They have inborn talent while I don’t”
And so on …
These are things we often say to satisfy ourseves. These statements/beliefs are more often than not, false.
Let go of them …
Think about what you can do better with the life you have in hand.
You will find out numerous possibilities.
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to your NEW LIFE!
