He cleared his graduation and his father asked him to take up masters college and he did not want that. His father told him that if he would not take that up, he would be working as a sales man, selling detergent powder door to door. He was scared but he wanted to start his own business and he did not know what to start also. That is why when his father was pushing him, he was losing confidence. Finally he kept his foot down and said that I would be starting my own business. His father said that I do not have money to give you for your business. If you are going on your own, then you would have to leave this house after one year because I am giving you one year safety time to settle down. This last statement shocked him and he left home immediately. He went to his friend’s PG and started staying with him. He was worried as he had to share the rent and pay for his food. He started walking on the street and at one place, one photographer needed an assistant. He was paying very little but it was enough for his shared rent and food. So he accepted the job. Gradually he started learning and started clicking and shooting himself. In two years time, he was able to open his own studio and then he went back home.
This is not an odd story and he also had to go through his own fears, ups and downs. In between, he also had to hear his boss yelling at him, he also had to sleep empty stomach sometimes. But all this while his focus was on what he is going to get in the end! So he shared few things:
It is OK to have fears of paying bills because we all get. But sometimes we have to leave the comfort to get something else and overcome the fears.
We have to go through some pain while travelling this journey.
During the problems, focus on end result.
Dare to take the first step amidst fears
Keep going, even when you fail. He did not get any job for one month! But then it becomes better.
There are no failures!
He never knew he could be a photographer. But when he clicked his first picture, his employer knew! He just had to discover that photographer inside him.
We already have what we want to have and we are what we want to become. All we need is courage to chip out the unwanted material posted by society, upbringing , safety, comfort and many more things. When we are ready, chipping off would start and the most beautiful sculpture would come out. Big question! WHo is chipping it off? Well, Universe.; What we want to become, Universe also wants us to become and supports us. o we have lots of help around. We just have to extend our hand to get it! Don’t be scared and follow your dreams.
