Some patterns in life …

Life seems complex. There are things which everyone goes through. This experience is different for different people based on their way of living life and demographics. Their tough times which they call. And when they emerge out of it, its a big lesson in their life. The learnings out of it stays with them forever and they grow.

One thing common for all the times when we grow is doing something which is harsh but required for you. You know it inside that you should do it and you badly want it. Without thinking about stuff like I should not do this and get back in my life . Taking courageous steps are the key to growth and success. This is one pattern which I observed in all the 3 dimensions of our life—

• Family — all things concerning your family. Parents, siblings.
• Professional — All your work and career related stuff
• Personal — Your love life & your self

The thing mostly common in all of these dimensions is that when you take a courageous step ,out of your normal thinking thing and which is not that common for you — You grow. And this is essential ingredient for one’s personal growth. Some examples include — confessing someone for some people, decision to quit your job and open a startup, taking a drop in your class 12th, taking some bold move against your manager, learning some new language or framework, etc. I believe you cannot separate growth from this strong decision making and harsh times ahead.

You have to believe in yourself and take the bold & harsh steps in which you believe without fearing anyone to grow up in life. You can retrospect and observe the patterns inside you. Think about all the great learnings of your life — you will observe this pattern.
