No matter how independent you are, there comes a time in life
where you are completely lost in the moment and have no idea what to do in a
given situation. I have been in this situation many times, and the only person
I can trust for a #SachchiAdvice is my MOTHER.
I was in need of a true advice when I was making a life decision
of quitting a job as a designer at a very established design house. I was doing
very well financially, but I used to be quite unhappy as I used to
return home late, stayed up working at late hours,maybe even skip meals
and had no beak for months together. I used to work even though I was sick.
Life was quite a mess back then. Actually, I was living my dream job,
but who knew my dream job was actually a nightmare.
All of this was seen by my Mother, she knew very
well that I was not happy at all. My smiles were fake, I wished to sleep longer, but dragged myself off the bed diligently. But one day she comes to me, sits beside my bed and
wakes me up. I asked her, why are you here? She said she wants to talk to me! I
was like, Ma I have to leave for work in the next hour, can we talk once I am
back? She said, but don't you want to take a day off on your Birthday at least?
You can fool yourself, but not me! So please
sit and talk to me now.I sat right in the spot I
was standing and cried, I was shattered, I did not wait to
tell her. She knew everything she only said, please don't ever do something in
life wherein you cannot find peace. And that was it! I did not question her at
all. I knew exactly what my next step should be. I quit my Job and started to take a break and started looking for a new job soon
after my break. I was broke and living on my savings, but the
amount of peace attained at the end of it was exactly what I was looking for.
Now I am at a place I never thought of working at all.
But the amount of peace I get and the joy I get out of my work every day is
totally worth the very brave decision I could take only with the help of my
Mothers #SachchiAdvice.
