When it comes to doing things for yourself, how many times
have you been put in situations where you are choosing between options, and how
many times are you in a situation where you can choose just one and there isn’t
any option for and. Well, personally I have come across such situations very
frequently in life and rather at most critical phases of my life. Where my
heart screams out to say wish I had both, but the situation demands me to
choose and pick one, and put the other thing down. Such is the law of nature,
is what my mother said, in such situations, and with this was attached a long
and brief session of discussion, which goes on to say, you never get everything
in life, and more so as a woman you have to sacrifice more than this.
To this, I just simply put on my earphones and pretend to be
listen to her, not because I disrespect her, but just because our thoughts
conflict and in such situations, it’s better not to drag conversations. I
believe in doing things and achieving results, because sky is the limit for
people who believe in themselves, and when sky is the limit, I am sure there is
no gender discrimination here. I don’t agree with the fact that you have to
choose between things in life and settle and compromise all the time. If one
really desires something, one can attain it fighting all odds.
And so, the same applies to me and my personal life, when I
was told to get into a profession soon after college and adding meaning to my
life. Honestly back then I was so naïve to this and had not even thought of
being in a corporate ever, because the passion for writing was flourishing
within me and I always had things to write upon, but how many of us are allowed
to make careers in such fields? Does the society let you grow? Do your own parents
want you to do this or just like it when they see a 6 digit number in your bank
account?
Well, I am sure you know the answer to this and hence I am
here today to share with you a story not to tell you about what I had to let go
in life or choose, but rather to tell you that never settle for things in life
and choose between things. Here is my story folks, so well I am an HR
professional, with appropriate certificates to back me up and ensure I sustain
in the career for quite a while, but I wanted more to my life and did not just
want to settle for a 9-6 job to myself and I knew what is that one thing that
gives me that kind of satisfaction and completes me. And the answer to this was
writing, as I told you my passion for writing was always there, but never got a
chance to pursue that as a fulltime career and hence I never let that passion
in me die, I rather let it grow within me each day, only so that one day I
could be here I write to you about my story and life. Blogging is the first
baby step that I have taken to fulfill my passion and will take more such steps
to attain what I truly wanted to be, i.e. a Writer.
So folks, here is my little story, of how I did not settle
for things in life and did not choose or, instead I made that or into an and,
and here I am a mid-aged professional in HR and an aspiring writer. I hope my
story inspires all you women out there, who have had to settle for things in
life and are unable to pursue their true passion. Go women, empower yourself,
because your empowerment will in turn empower our nation.
