The Things I Didn’t F**k Up During the Lockdown
Life has to be exploratory for one to experience joy. Be curious and say yes to new opportunities if you think they can help you pick up a new skill, expose you to something new, or simply break the rut that you’re in. If it weren’t for this inherent curiosity, I would have never traveled from IT to consulting to writing to marketing. And I don’t plan to stop here. I hope that by the time I’m a saggy old woman, I’d have gotten my hands dirty on at least three more professional areas. Sadly, the standard mode of functioning for this world has become very linear – focus on a goal and put your horse blinders on till you get there. Where’s the potential to try something you may be better at? What happens if there’s something else out there that’ll give you far more fulfilment – but you don’t even know it exists, no thanks to your blinders?
