Life shows its thrilling and exciting nature to us right from the moment we come into existence on this beautiful planet. We often lose ourselves in this dramatic inconstant puzzle called life but we learn to sail through as we find our destination. My story is also of a similar kind. I am a kind of person who cannot keep doing things that don’t bring any significance. I am an average guy with average academics my whole life and currently studying in one of the prestigious business schools of India, IIM Raipur. This is not a story of how an average guy made it to IIM Raipur rather it’s a story of how a guy with once no ambition in life found a purpose in life and fought to fulfill it overcoming the hurdles that stood in between. After 12 th , I went for engineering just because I didn’t like biology with no idea what I was going to do in future. By the time I was in second year I realized that this life was not for me and started disliking engineering. At the same time I started following some of the best entrepreneurs and decided to try that and dropped out from college in final year to pursue entrepreneurship. It was after living an entrepreneurial life for more than 2 years I realized my passion and found purpose in life. For the first time in life I wanted to learn something academically in depth and that is business. Since I was a college dropout no business school was taking me in and with hate and fear growing in my mind that I would not be able to pass engineering subjects and the thoughts of going back to that place again put me in depression for some days. But at the same time my first love in life (my purpose) was calling me and this is what gave me all the motivation, courage and strength to overcome fear and go back and live an isolated life far from home for 2 years, get degree and clear CAT. These 2 years have taught me some of the most important lessons in life like patience, self-discipline, hope, faith, decisiveness, perseverance which would not be possible otherwise and I am really thankful for this experience and now I am more ready than ever to take any challenge that comes and win over it on the way of realizing my purpose of life.
