Reflections from my life so far – Look inward; you have everything to evolve gracefully and be successful!

The nature of life is such that when we look back, we often think about how silly we were. I also think the same way when I look back at my life. Like every other person, it is easy to say that the early part of my life was nothing short of a “struggle.” It was a struggle of “scarcity” to some extent, but more so, it was about not realizing the power of a “growth mindset.”

Let me explain. I believed for many years that my adolescence and early adult life were riddled with scarcity. Not the lack of parental love, food, and shelter, but the shortage of resources, such as money, information and guidance, and inspiration and motive.

I grew up in a small town in northern India with my big joint family and limited means. Being the eldest, I got to go to the best school in the city, but the best was far from the average of what was needed to thrive. We never traveled, not for recreation or education. The world was too small for me. The education system doesn’t teach you to ask questions or foster curiosity. Long story short, I only wanted a chance to get out of that place. I didn’t know how.
