What challenges have you faced in the process of achieving your ambitions and how did you overcome it?
“Life is a song - sing it. Life is a game, play it. Life is a challenge - meet it. Life is a dream - realize it. Life is a sacrifice - offer it. Life is love - enjoy it.” – Sai Baba
Life is incomplete without challenges. Challenges are what makes us realize life is worth living every moment. I would say that my biggest challenge was to overcome my own fears of inadequacy and insecurity. I never had the self-confidence to talk to people, and never did realize my own dreams. When companies started coming to campus and recruiting students for consulting profiles, I was overcome with pessimism and fear of not getting placed, such that I stopped applying. A good friend and mentor gave me a much-needed wakeup call and made me mend my ways of thinking. Guided by empathy and facilitated by meditation, I did find my voice again. Practicing the basics of Vipassana meditation, coupled with mindfulness, helped me navigate my way through different competitions help by the company. It was a dream come true when I got selected by Aon Consulting Pvt Ltd., to join them as a talent management consultant and kick start a career in a field that has to lead me to my dream college TISS where I am doing my MA in Organisation Development, Change, and Leadership. Looking back, I feel that the motivation to lead comes from the within, and the sparks of curiosity that flame into ambition need to be nurtured and curated. Challenges and obstacles are just an alternate way of thinking, flip them upside down and they become success and victory.
