Here is a picture of myself from 2017 (left) & a picture from 2021 (right).
These photos tell a lot.
I was a vagabond then.
Living life the way I like, fuck everybody!
But without any goal.
Life was like... Go with the flow. Live the moments right now!
I had dreams, passions and ambitions! But I did not care to work on them.
I was not taking care of myself.
I was feeling FREE!
Now look at me.
I'm 32+, financially stable, married to a wonderful wife, and became a father of a beautiful daughter recently.
I am writing regularly, working on my passions, and fueled with high ambitions. I am blessed to work at a place like AuthLab where my intelligence is appreciated.
I feel respected, inspired & always moving forward.
I'm a man with a mission.
I still feel FREE!
Then what changed?
Nothing.
Only a small fear born inside me - "fear staying average."
That fear started to become big in the coming years!
I hated this fear. So I took action to face it.
I'm not a changed man.
I am revealing my true self...one day at a time.
I'm taking the bar high for myself.
I am pushing myself to become more, above average.
I am in no competition with others, rather than with yesterday's me.
I fear becoming average. This fear motivates me everyday.
I believed myself then, and I believe myself more now!
So believe in yourself!
Life will pick you up!
Not today, but some day...one day!
P.S: You can ignore my midnight rumbles. Don't know why I wrote this, but sharing for my own mental peace. I hope someone will find this helpful.
