My Fall from Top to Bottom

Tell us about a time when you felt out of place.

Hello my Friends, I hope you are having a Fantastic day today. Mine has just started, and going good so far.

This prompt reminds me of a strange time of my life. When I was at the top of my career, and suddenly I was dragged to the bottom.

This was a time, when I was doing my MBA, I was almost through it, and bagged one of the best placement my college could have offered.

At that time, I was at a peak of a lot of things. My career as well as partying with friends. We used to live in a hostel, and every night there was a party night.

We were students and at that time, it looked like only way to handle all the academic pressure that a MBA program takes you through.

Every night, a lot of people used to come to my room and chill and leave behind their worries. Me and my roommate had a job already, and our remaining MBA afterward was looking like a fairytale.

And, then suddenly one fine day, the whole college administration went barging into our hostels and start checking people room. They started from us, as someone tipped them about the parties.

And, suddenly that fine day, my whole life changed in a flash. I was forced to withdraw from college and was asked to comeback next year to complete my MBA.

At that time, I felt like my whole world and all my dreams were shattered to pieces.

Without going in the details of mental trauma, I would like to focus on 2 good things that happened.

First, Family,

I realised the importance of Family, that family creates a platform for us to grow, when we fall we don’t actually fall on ground, we fall on our family lap.

Second, Failure

I realised that Failure is just putting the same person in a different paradigm, which could be harder or low on resources, but as an individual we are same. Equally competent and deserving, failure just test us, if we can keep performing well in adversity.

It was this time of my life, when I decided to start blogging, and what an awesome journey it had been. I have grown to be a much stronger and smarter individual, and even if the pain was unbearable, it forged me to something good. In fact, greater than what I could ever imagine to be.

Next year when I went back to the college, I was a misfit, and was out of place, wrong place at wrong time.

That experience changed me forever for good, by taking me through the bad.

When we see our dreams breaking in front of us, it is excruciating. But it is important that we believe in ourselves, and never let the ball down.

My love to you, hope you find strength always in adversity.

Love and blessings.

XOXO
