The second leg

I hope it is okay to be scared. Psyched, actually. For now I may be a number- one of the thirteen thousand, but soon enough this will change. The road ahead is an arduous one but I am up for the challenge. Somehow being the unconventional person helps. It really does. I now have the good fortune of having supportive people beside me, and a new and swelling confidence that is second only to Pyron.

Last night, as I slowly drifted to sleep, I thought about my past- the people I met, the experiences that shaped me and the lessons I learn't. I am glad I don't regret anything. Instead I thank each and every person for the times spent with them. Had I not met them, I'd never have understood my worth. This is a deviation of sorts from my normal writings but that doesn't mean it ain't the truth. In recent times, I have realized how important it is to feel positive about oneself even if, at times, it means you end up lying to yourself. Like Steven Covey mentions in his 90/10 principle, we have no control over the 10 percent that happens to us but 90 percent of our lives is decided by how we react. Agreed. Henceforth, I promise to have ample faith in myself and work towards my goal.
