As kids we\nare often asked, \u201cwhat do you want to be when you grow up\u201d? We think of many\noptions and eventually choose one. Some of us still stay lost for a very long\ntime until we find our shore. We all definitely want a safe and secured future.\nWe want stability too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started off\nwith my stint at an MNC fourteen years ago and had joined it, in order to earn\nsome pocket money. Over the years, I grew into a managerial role. I always felt\nmy calling belonged to a different profession altogether and hence I decided to\nstep down the corporate ladder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, like\nthey say, god has different plans for each of us. I came to know that I\u2019ll be a\nmommy soon. They say it takes a village to raise a kid and since I was the\nchief of that village, I eventually did step down from the corporate ladder. I\ntook a maternity break from work which became longer than I wanted it to be!!\nSoon came my calling from my passion that had got hidden somewhere. It casually\ncame knocking over a year ago and since then we have been the best buddies. I\nam referring to my passion for writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soon from\ncovering events for a sports entrepreneurship, I moved to writing blogs. These\nblogs varied in topics. Some were related to my parenting journey, some to\nfashion, some to advices and some to food. I now have written over hundred\nblogs on various platforms including the ones on my personal blog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m now in\nthe process of deciding my child\u2019s future but I seldom wonder how would I want\nmy future to be? My calling still beckons me, to something bigger and something\nbetter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a list\nof few things I want my future to include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Independence <\/strong>\u2013 We are an independent nation and there\nis a lot going on in the nation to make it better than what it is. It\u2019s the independence\nin making choices <\/em><\/strong>that I am referring too. I want to be able to make\npositive choices that will help me, my family and my friends without having to\nworry about the modifications that I would have to make.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    • Success \u2013 <\/strong>We usually align success to how much money\na person makes. Indeed, it is a factor of measuring a person\u2019s success however\nisn\u2019t success supposed to be measured in kind too? How has something you have\ndone, bought about a change in someone\u2019s life? How much have you contributed to\nyour own development?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      • Education \u2013 <\/strong>I am educated. I have a bachelor\u2019s\ndegree and a few certifications in my kitty. The education I am referring to is\nthe impartial one. The education that doesn\u2019t restrict you to classrooms, labs\nand fields. The education that let\u2019s you explore and learn. Education through\nexperiences, people and books. Education goes a long way in building your\nfuture. Education is what helps you make the right and unbiased choices in\nlife. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        • Outreach & Optimism<\/strong> -If you read my blogs, you will know\nthat my inspiration comes from occurrences with me and around me. One of my\nfavourite blogs is about traffic jams. How people in a traffic jam are similar\nto ones in your life. How the movement of traffic is related to various events\nthat happen in our life. Through my blogs I wish to reach out to as many people\nas I can to help them understand the importance of the one and only life they\nhave and how optimism will help them fight the daily tiny battles<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          • Financial Independence<\/strong> – As a child I would often tell my mom, \u201cwouldn\u2019t it be great if we found a bag full of money somewhere\u201d? Since the world is moving towards digitization. I want a certain percentage of my money to be digitalised so that the benefits can be used for my child\u2019s upbringing and education. I definitely want a financially secured future, however a future that is not limited by boundaries.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
            • Love\nand Happiness<\/em><\/strong>\n\u2013 As a mom, this happens to be the most important one. The reason this is last\non my list is, because, despite all that happens in my life and my child\u2019s life\nI want them to know that no matter what the future holds for us, my love will\nalways remain constant for them. Often, their happiness will come before mine.\nThe sooner the world realises it needs happiness more than sadness and love\nmore than hatred, the sooner it will be a world, that has a bright future!!<\/em><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
