Part – B: How you overcame challenges to achieve your ambitions in life so far
Quoting Bill Bradley, “Ambition is the path to success. Persistence is the vehicle you arrive in”. I have had miniscule to big ambitions all my life. A life that is just a little more than two decades old and the learnings have been immense. One of my biggest challenges in life was to open up to new opportunities, people and situations. Being an introvert meant living in a shell of thoughts and comfort. I stepped out of it, day by day, facing people and situations even if they meant pain. This way I slowly adapted to not fearing unwanted opinions and deconstructive feedback and express myself the best way to the world. This paved the way to achieve my ambition of getting into a good B-school, however, it was far from easy. Competition that I never experienced before, time constraints and managing internships with coaching were just the tip of the ice-berg. The real struggle was the mind. This was the phase of life where I struggled with disowning negative thoughts and unmotivated days. It has taught me a lot and has led me to promote positive mental health to all students in my capacity. What helped me get through it was my hard work and consistent trials to achieve. One of my biggest ambitions in life remains to open an NGO and tap the undiscovered art potential in underprivileged children who are not given a platform to showcase their work. It will be very challenging but all my previous challenges have taught me to be consistent and sincere in my way towards the goal and the path becomes clearer than ever. Challenges are not present for struggle, but to make one stronger towards the ambition.
