A Beginner’s POV in the journey to success.
Figuring out EVERYTHING on my own has become an automated behaviour now.
Working a 9–5 even with the Best Bosses didn’t fullfill my soul.
It did not give me a sense of satisfaction of any form.
I do feel extremely fortunate that as a newbie, I know and I sense the wrong around me.
An applaud to every person who has ever felt that way.
I have now worked at a corporate Healthcare organisation for 2–3 years.
I worked with people I really didn’t like working with, I worked at a setup where I had to fake my smile the whole time.
I had faked my personality for So long that I almost lost my self identity.
That is the Time I had decided I wanted to do something of my own and say goodbye to the 9–5 rut once and for all.
I started a blog page, and began my new journey of being a writer, my evergreen dream, which i didnt know I had, It was as exciting as opening a new business.
I idea of being a Writer came a little late to me. Because I remember in college when I used to visit the library. And see all the book stacked up.
I always had a very insignificant thought of having my name written in the Author’s section on the book cover.
It wasn’t a crazy dream, it wasn’t something I was really serious about, because I always thought that’s the most impossible thing I could ever dream of, what am I even thinking? Although, never beat myself for thinking that.
And today I’m already working on my second novel, I have one published that I’d always be proud of. Here I’m tagging my first childrens fiction Novel.
All of this started during the Pandamic. The pandemic was a Whole New Re-Birth to many of us I feel, because when people took a break from jobs, they truly got closer to who they are.
I haven’t stopped writing since, and today it’s difficult for me to even sleep knowing that I haven’t written a word the whole day.
Writing has become my only escape, and it keeps me sane. I have gone through days where I was so engrossed in work, I worked the whole day In a healthcare sector, I came home all tired, even though I practically had a productive day, I did well at work, everything happened for a day to be well-spent.
But I still slept with a huge Void and dissatisfaction in my heart because I haven’t written, it’s almost like I’ve not met my mom today. You understand?
After working so hard at my profession for 2.5 years and 5 gears of studying for the same, It was a rought decision for me to take that ONE TINY IDEA that wouldn’t leave my head seriously and make a career out of it and put all the resources put in my studies at stake.
Let me tell you, It is completely Worthwhile.
I do not feel the same pride when I think of how many patients I’ve seen or how much revenue I made for my company.
I take pride in publishing my own work, I take pride in Maintaining discipline towards my business.
So choose your pride I would say.
Never be afraid to Start over, you will notice you get better at every New start.
The 10th start would begin with 9 startover’s experience.
I am currently not earning a penny with my blogging or my writing. But I write out of passion, I still keep going with the strict work ethics with my Novel, Blog, Medium and Other freelancing gigs.
It get extremely difficult on days where I have to stick to 9–5 for supporting my dream, managing my projects takes a while.
Allotting slots during my schedule and adjusting my passion in between my work hours, consistently helped to build quite a decent quantity or projects I have done.
My only goal right now, is to polish my skills, keep enjoying the journey and keep learning because we need to be prepared for once our career in writing flourishes.
The journey ahead is difficult but hopefully Fruitful.
Thanks a Ton for reading.
I wish you all the best and hope to seeing you around during my journey to the Top.
Cheer.🍻
