What a decade can actually do? Much more than what we can even think of maybe. My 10 years challenge would bring out two different people in contrast maybe. Years back, I was very shy, very less confident, quite inferior about myself and extremely submissive. I still remember the beginning of PU days where walking into the class was quite a thing as I was so less confident about myself and all the eyes will usually be on people entering the class. My dressing sense was really poor back then. Maybe I used to say 'yes' to people only because I didn't want to disappoint them. I was a topper all through and to be frank, I was not really proud of it 'so much' because I knew just academic accomplishments isn't my real thing. I used to never share about these inner conflicts with even the close ones because they were mine alone and for everyone else I was still a very happy-go-lucky guy who had got lucky with life.
Slowly things started changing during my University days in Christ where I started giving more presentations. Somehow these things really help you gain some confidence. With time I started working on myself. With time, I enjoyed being called on to the stage and enjoyed getting the attention. I learnt saying 'No', I started taking more initiatives, grabbed every opportunity to go on stage, made more meaningful relationships and started loving myself more with time. It wasn't easy and it didn't happen quickly.
Now, fast forward to this day in 2020, I love the person I see on mirror everyday and I am happy that I have come a long way overcoming my inner fears and battling my own inferiority complexes. My confidence level has increased to a level I am proud of. I still have a long way to go and lot of shortcomings to overcome but I so love this journey of going within. Loving oneself is primary before one could even share it with another person. Self love is the most important aspect of fighting inner battles and healing. It's important to appreciate our journey and accept ourself first with all our flaws. This post is my 10 years challenge 😁. I can't wait to see what this decade has got to surprise me with. Let the path unfold for itself 🙈
